Kramer Pond

About Kramer Pond

The primary purpose of Kramer Pond is fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. The dam maintains a small impoundment used for fire suppression, livestock watering, or as a fish pond. The dam is owned by Kramer, George & Theresa (private). It impounds the Wing River-tr near Motley.

The dam stands 21 feet tall and stretches 100 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 29 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 275 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles.

This dam has a significant hazard potential classification, meaning that a failure could cause significant economic damage — flooding roads, bridges, or property downstream — but is not expected to result in loss of life. Its condition is rated unsatisfactory, indicating serious safety deficiencies exist that require immediate attention or remedial action. The most recent inspection on record was 08/17/1995. That was over 30 years ago.
