About Lindley Twp Site Ca-002-12
The primary purpose of Lindley Twp Site Ca-002-12 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 Lindley Township Board (local government). It impounds the Tr-little River near Princeton.
