Summary

The dam, situated on TR-Marshall Creek, has a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 33 acre-feet. Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam has a low hazard potential and is not currently rated for its condition.

Surrounded by a surface area of 4 acres and draining a 65-acre watershed, Schallert Lake Dam offers a serene recreational spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts. With its buttress core design and unknown foundation type, the dam serves as a vital component in the local ecosystem, providing both a habitat for wildlife and a relaxing environment for outdoor activities. While it may not be regularly inspected or maintained, its low hazard potential and picturesque setting make it a unique destination for those seeking to connect with nature.

As a part of the Kansas City District, Schallert Lake Dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climates. While its risk assessment and emergency preparedness measures may be lacking, the dam's role in providing recreational opportunities and supporting local ecosystems underscores the need for continued vigilance in monitoring and maintaining our water resources in the years to come.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
