Stevens Dam
Stevens Dam is an earth dam located in Clark County, Missouri, built in 1997. 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 Mark Stevens (private). It impounds the Buck Run near St Patrick.
The dam stands 31 feet tall and stretches 249 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 11 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 20 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 786 square miles. Completed in 1997, the structure is 29 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.
