Summary
This private dam, with a gravity design and buttress core types, stands at a height of 10 feet and a length of 200 feet. It has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 40 acre-feet. The dam is situated off the Ch-Concho River, under the jurisdiction of the state regulatory agency.
Despite its age, Krall Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and is considered to have a high risk potential, with a hazard level of 2. The dam does not have a spillway and is equipped with one outlet gate. While it is designated for irrigation, it also serves purposes such as fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. The risk management measures and emergency action plan for the dam are not readily available, highlighting potential concerns for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
In terms of federal involvement, Krall Dam does not fall under the responsibility of the US Army Corps of Engineers and does not receive federal funding or oversight. With its historical significance and vital role in local water management, further assessment and risk mitigation strategies may be necessary to ensure the safety and sustainability of Krall Dam for the surrounding community and ecosystem.

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.
