Section 001-375-5 - Qualifications in Declaring a Dam Safe

The Inspector of Dam shall declare a dam or reservoir "safe" if he finds no evidence that the dam or reservoir is unsafe during his field inspection or through his calculations of the safety based upon reasonable assumptions. In a case where the Inspector is of the opinion that there are insufficient field measurements or other data to verify definitively that certain safety criteria have been met (such as described in section 3, Sub-sections A through(L), then the Inspector of Dam may declare a dam or reservoir safe subject to further specific studies which he shall recommend to the dam owner. The Inspector may also declare a dam safe subject to review by the Inspector at some later date.
