Section III-719 - InspectionsA. The DOTD will periodically inspect every dam in the jurisdiction of the program. The purpose of the DOTD inspections is to ascertain whether the structure is being properly maintained in accordance with the approved operations and maintenance procedures. The DOTD inspections are "limited inspections" and do not relieve the owner of responsibility to perform and document periodic inspections. If an inspection by the DOTD reveals that a dam is unsafe or in danger of becoming unsafe, the DOTD, through the Director of Public Works and Flood Control, shall direct the owner to take whatever action is necessary to restore the dam to its design condition.B. The owner has the primary responsibility for insuring the safe condition of the structure by regular maintenance and periodic inspection. The owner is required to immediately inform the Director of Public Works and Flood Control of any unusual circumstances or occurrences which may affect the condition or safety of the reservoir. Also, the director will be notified prior to any planned draw downs of the reservoir.La. Admin. Code tit. 56, § III-719
