Summary
Built in 1968, this earth dam stands at 25 feet tall and spans 410 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 102 acre-feet. While it has a low hazard potential, its condition assessment has not been rated, and it is not currently monitored by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Mccasland and Schiller 3 is subject to state regulations and inspections, with permitting and enforcement conducted by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Despite being designated as a state jurisdiction site, specific details regarding its primary purpose or associated structures are not provided in the available data.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Mccasland and Schiller 3 dam offers a glimpse into the infrastructure that helps regulate water flow and storage in South Dakota. With its modest size and storage capacity, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring our water resources to ensure their sustainability and safety for the future.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
