Stevens Dam
Stevens Dam is an earth dam located in Harrison County, Missouri, built in 1990. It carries a Low hazard potential classification.
About Stevens Dam
The primary purpose of Stevens Dam 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 Pren Stevens (private). It impounds the Tr-lotts Creek near Denver.
The dam stands 26 feet tall and stretches 440 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 11 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 81 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 802 square miles. Completed in 1990, the structure is 36 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
