Summary
Built in 1987 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 14 feet and spans 550 feet in length. The dam has a storage capacity of 86 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 47 acre-feet, and covers a surface area of 10 acres.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Stevens No.4 poses a moderate risk due to its moderate risk assessment rating. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled and measures 43 feet in width, allowing for a maximum discharge of 310 cubic feet per second. The condition of the dam is currently listed as "Not Rated," with the last inspection conducted in January 1988.
While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified, the structure remains under the jurisdiction of the Natural Resources Conservation Service. With its focus on supporting fish and wildlife habitats, Stevens No.4 serves as both a recreational and conservation asset in the region, contributing to the local ecosystem and water resources management efforts in Alabama.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
