Section 785:25-9-10 - Reclassification of the hazard-potential class of a dam
Universal Citation: OK Admin Code 785:25-9-10
Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024
(a) The Board may reclassify the hazard-potential classification of a dam at any time based on an inspection and downstream hazard evaluation.
(b) If the Board determines that the hazard-potential class of a dam should be increased to a greater hazard-potential classification, then the Board shall notify the owner of that finding and of the upgrade options that are available, and set a reasonable deadline, based on the circumstances, for the owner to:
(1) file an application to upgrade the dam to
meet the requirements for a greater hazard-potential classification;
or
(2) seek an individual
proceeding to contest the finding: or
(3) perform a breach analysis and inundation
mapping or, for existing dams that lack a breach analysis, through the use of
acceptable mathematical computations applied to the downstream area from the
dam to a point where the necessary design flood and breach is contained within
the main stream channel, utilize modeling and analysis guidelines provided by
the Board to show the dam should not be reclassified to the greater
hazard-potential classification.
