About Grindstone-lost-muddy Watershed Dam Lt-102
The primary purpose of Grindstone-lost-muddy Watershed Dam Lt-102 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 David Munson (local government). It impounds the Tr-grindstone Creek near Santa Rosa.
The dam stands 32 feet tall and stretches 350 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 9 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 31 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 140 square miles. Completed in 1984, the structure is 42 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.
