Built in 1967 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and stretches 475 feet in length. The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is classified as a buttress-type dam, designed to impound water from the TR-BROAD MOUTH CREEK.
With a maximum storage capacity of 72 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 52 acre-feet, G Stevens Pond Dam has a surface area of 7 acres. Despite being in fair condition as of the last inspection in January 2020, the dam poses a high hazard potential due to its design and location. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and it lacks outlet gates, presenting challenges in managing water flow during periods of high discharge.
In the event of an emergency, there is no information available on the dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) preparedness. The risk assessment for G Stevens Pond Dam indicates a moderate risk level, with a hazard potential rating of 3. While the dam is under state regulation and inspection by SC DHEC, continued monitoring and maintenance are crucial to ensure the safety and integrity of this vital water resource structure in South Carolina.
