Schulte Dam, located in Montrose, Iowa, is a private earth dam completed in 2000 for the primary purpose of grade stabilization on Tr- Devils Creek. The dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a length of 185 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 21 acre-feet. With a surface area of 2 acres and a drainage area of 0.04 square miles, the dam serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region.

Managed by the NRCS, Schulte Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. Despite its moderate risk assessment level, the dam meets regulatory guidelines and serves as a critical structure for flood control and water conservation in Lee County, Iowa. With its uncontrolled spillway design and soil foundation, Schulte Dam plays a crucial role in mitigating the impact of potential water-related disasters and ensuring the safety of surrounding communities.

Although Schulte Dam has not been inspected recently and lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP), its risk management measures are in place to address any potential issues that may arise in the future. With its strategic location and design, the dam continues to be a key component in the overall water resource and climate resilience efforts in the area. As a significant infrastructure for water management, Schulte Dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable development and environmental stewardship in safeguarding our natural resources.
