§ 6056 Dam Approval Consultant Board

Key Takeaways

  • •A group of three experts must check and give their opinion on any dam owned by the government.
  • •They do this when the dam gets a new permit, when the permit changes, or when it's time to renew the permit.
  • •Their job is to make sure the dam is safe and follows the rules.

Example

Imagine a big dam that holds back water for a town.

Before the dam can keep operating, three experts must look at it and tell the government if it's safe. If they say it's not safe, the dam might need fixes before it can stay open.
