Universal Citation: MT Admin Rules 36.14.307
Current through Register Vol. 6, March 22, 2024
(1) General maintenance and ordinary repairs that do not require a construction permit are those activities that do not impair the safety of the dam if done properly. These activities include:
(a) removal of brush
or weeds, or cutting of trees, removal of slash from the embankment or
spillway, and removal of small stumps is included, provided no deep excavation
into the embankment occurs;
(b)
repair of erosion gullies or minor rodent damage on the embankment or in the
spillway (Large gullies that have already weakened the dam must be repaired in
accordance with ARM
36.14.306 ) ;
(c) surface grading of the embankment crest
or spillway to eliminate potholes and provide proper drainage, provided that
the freeboard is not reduced; and
(d) placement of additional riprap and
bedding on the upstream slope, or in the spillway, in areas that have sustained
minor damage. This would involve restoring the original riprap protection and
maintaining the original capacity where the damage has not yet resulted in
weakening of the dam.
