§ 6400 Dam Inspection Compliance

• •The government checks dams and reservoirs while they are being built or fixed to make sure they follow the approved plans.
• •The owner of the dam or reservoir has to pay for any extra work or tests needed to show the government that everything is being done correctly.
• •The government pays for its own inspections.

A company is building a new dam to create a lake for a town's water supply.

While the dam is being built, the government will send inspectors to check that the company is following the approved plans. If the inspectors need more information, like tests on the materials used, the company has to pay for those tests, not the government.
