Stewart and completed in 1930 for the primary purpose of recreation. This private dam stands at a height of 17.3 feet with a hydraulic height of 9.7 feet, creating a reservoir with a normal storage capacity of 26.5 acre-feet and a drainage area of 439 acres. The dam, primarily constructed of earth with a buttress core type, has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment.
The North Stewart Lake Dam, managed by a private owner, does not fall under state regulation, permitting, inspection, or enforcement. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam poses a moderate risk level of 3 out of 5, prompting the need for risk management measures. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks an emergency action plan, it continues to provide recreational opportunities for the local community and serves as an essential water resource in the area. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, North Stewart Lake Dam presents a fascinating case study in dam infrastructure and risk assessment.
