About Grindstone-lost-muddy Watershed Dam B-25
The primary purpose of Grindstone-lost-muddy Watershed Dam B-25 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 Glm Creek Wtsh Subdistr (local government). It impounds the Tr-west Fork near Pattonsburg.
The dam stands 26 feet tall and stretches 480 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 5 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 117 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 51 square miles. Completed in 1975, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
