Dd No 3-26 is a local government-owned dam located in Hanston, Kansas, designed by Bucher, Willis & Ratliff and completed in 1989 for flood risk reduction along the Saw Log Creek. The earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and spans a length of 1100 feet, with a storage capacity of 1149 acre-feet and a drainage area of 7.85 square miles. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition, and no emergency action plan has been prepared.

Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Dd No 3-26 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state, ensuring its compliance with safety standards. While the dam has no outlet gates and an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 80 feet, it serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction in the region. With a maximum discharge capacity of 2600 cubic feet per second and a normal storage level of 82 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 20 acres and provides essential protection against potential flooding events.

Located in Hodgeman County, Kansas, the Dd No 3-26 dam is situated in a rural area under the jurisdiction of the local government. With Congressman Roger W. Marshall representing the district, the dam's role in mitigating flood risks for the community highlights the importance of water resource management and climate resilience efforts in safeguarding vulnerable regions from potential natural disasters.
