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.
