About Grindstone-lost-muddy Watershed Dam B-20
The primary purpose of Grindstone-lost-muddy Watershed Dam B-20 is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Gndsn-lst-mdy Cr Wsd Sbd (local government). It impounds the Tr-west Fork Lost Creek near Pattonsburg.
