Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed Dam Lt-102 dam
Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed Dam Lt-102
Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed Dam Lt-102, located in DeKalb, Missouri, stands as a vital structure for grade stabilization along the TR-GRINDSTONE CREEK. Designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1984, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and stretches 350 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 31 acre-feet and a drainage area of 140 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed Dam Lt-102 has not been rated for its condition assessment. With an uncontrolled spillway and no outlet gates, this dam serves primarily for grade stabilization purposes. While it has not undergone recent inspections, it remains a key structure in the area's water management system. With Sam Graves (R) as the congressional representative, the dam continues to play a significant role in the local community's water resource management efforts.
Overall, Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed Dam Lt-102 stands as a crucial earth dam in Missouri, serving to stabilize grades and manage water resources in the region. Despite its age, this dam continues to play a vital role in water management, with a storage capacity of 31 acre-feet and a drainage area of 140 acres. As efforts to assess its condition and risk management measures continue, this dam remains an essential component of the local water infrastructure.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.

About Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed Dam Lt-102
Where does the data for Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed Dam Lt-102 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
