Despite its age, Stewart has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. With a maximum discharge of 350 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. While there are no associated structures or locks, Stewart remains a pivotal recreational and water supply resource for the community.
Owned by a private entity, Stewart falls under the jurisdiction of the Alabama state permitting and inspection processes. With its location within Congressional District 02 and the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and the role of private ownership in maintaining critical infrastructure for both recreational and practical uses.
