Summary
This Local Government-owned structure on TR-MUD CR stands at 40 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 34 feet and a length of 700 feet. With a storage capacity of 330 acre-feet, the dam serves as a vital resource for the surrounding area, particularly in Richville, Oklahoma.
Despite its historical significance, Krebs is facing challenges in terms of its condition assessment, which has been rated as poor. The dam has a significant hazard potential, and its risk assessment indicates a very high level of risk. The last inspection in December 2020 highlighted the need for improvement, emphasizing the importance of regular maintenance and monitoring to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the structure.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to recognize the importance of dams like Krebs in maintaining water supply and managing risks associated with potential hazards. By staying informed about the condition and maintenance needs of such structures, we can contribute to the sustainable management of water resources and the protection of communities that rely on them.

Dam Data Reference
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.
