(a) Alternatives. Instead of upgrading the dam using structural methods, an owner may seek to implement alternative methods. Such alternative methods shall include but is not limited to the following:
(1) a current breach
analysis and hydrologic study that demonstrates a lesser hazard-potential
classification is correct; or
(2) a
current breach analysis and design flood analyses that demonstrate existing
downstream developments would not be adversely affected by more than one foot
difference between breach and non-breach simulations in the affected area, or
records showing the downstream development has been dedicated to
non-residential and non-commercial use; or
(3) a plan to permanently remove the
dam.
(b) Schedule of Compliance. An owner may seek a compliance schedule with the Board that sets the timeframes for various stages of work to be performed. In considering such applications to upgrade on a compliance schedule the Board shall evaluate whether the current dam will not significantly affect the public safety during the compliance period.
