Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed Dam C- 22 dam
Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed Dam C- 22
Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed Dam C-22, located in Gentry County, Missouri, was completed in 1975 by the USDA NRCS with the primary purpose of grade stabilization along TR-LOST CREEK. This earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a structural height of 24 feet, with a length of 500 feet and a storage capacity of 84 acre-feet. The dam is primarily made of stone core and soil foundation, serving to control the flow of water and prevent erosion in the area.
Despite being unregulated by the state, Dam C-22 plays a crucial role in managing water resources and reducing the risk of flooding in the region. With a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam provides essential grade stabilization and storage capacity for the surrounding drainage area of 85 square miles. While it lacks a formal emergency action plan and condition assessment, the dam remains a key infrastructure for water resource management in the Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed.
Overall, Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed Dam C-22 is a vital piece of infrastructure designed to protect the local environment and community from the impacts of water flow and erosion. As a locally owned and operated structure, its significance lies in its contribution to grade stabilization and water storage in an area prone to natural disasters. With a focus on sustainability and risk management, Dam C-22 stands as a testament to the importance of thoughtful water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.

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 C- 22
Where does the data for Grindstone-Lost-Muddy Watershed Dam C- 22 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.
