About Grindstone-lost-muddy Watershed Dam Lt-107
The primary purpose of Grindstone-lost-muddy Watershed Dam Lt-107 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 Wilbur Thomas (local government). It impounds the Tr-west Fork Lost Creek near Weatherby.
The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 360 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 8 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 26 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 301 square miles. Completed in 1984, the structure is 42 years old.
