Grade Stabilization Structure
A structure designed to
reduce channel grade in natural or constructed watercourses to prevent erosion
of a channel and its banks. This
practice is also used to stop headcut erosion or stabilize gully
erosion. Grade stabilization
structures may be earthen dams, vertical drop structures, concrete or
riprap chutes, gabions, or pipe drop structures. Permanent ponds or lakes may be part of a
grade stabilization system to protect water quality along with providing
water for livestock, fish and wildlife, and recreation.
