Is this mark destroyed or still usable?

It is not pumping water anymore but appears to be the original structure.

Is this mark destroyed or still usable for survey work?

How would I log it for geocaching.com and post it for Waymarking.com?

 

Thank you for any help.

Some photos of the windmill no metal water tank at the site.

The windmill appears not to be destroyed as far as a surveyor observing it is concerned. However, this is an intersection station, and such marks are almost never used by professionals any more. As you seem already to know, NGS prefers that these not be logged with them unless a definite destruction report can be made.

 

On Geocaching, though, we think you can log it as found, posting the photos to show (a) the dilapidated vanes and ( the relative soundness of the tower.

PS sorry about the meaningless emoticon, which jumped in where we wanted ( to appear.

..as m&h implied, it looks like the part that would've most likely have been the intersection point (the vertical pole supporting the blades) appears to be intact. Geocaching doesn't make a distinction between 'Found Good' & 'Found Poor' (I usually do in my logs) - although the US Benchmarks category over @ Waymarking does..

Geocaching: Found as described.
