§ 6228 Dam Modification Application Requirements

• •If you want to change a dam or reservoir, you must tell the government your name and address.
• •You have to explain exactly what changes you want to make and show maps and plans.
• •The government can say some rules don’t apply if they think they’re not needed.

A farmer wants to make his small dam bigger to hold more water for his crops.

The farmer must fill out a form with his name and address, describe how he will make the dam bigger, and include drawings of his plan. The government might say he doesn’t need to follow every single rule if his changes are small and safe.
