Rule R655-10 - Dam Safety Classifications, Approval Procedures and Independent Reviews
Section R655-10-5B - Hazard Classification-Exceptions

It should be noted that the hazard classification as outlined in R655-10-5 A may not be an absolute indicator of the hazard of the dam, since a dam failure superimposed on natural flooding conditions may cause incremental risk to life and property. Although this scenario is not normally used in the hazard classification process, it is a factor the owner should consider in determining their overall liability. Under special circumstances, as determined by the State Engineer, a hazard classification may be determined giving consideration to concurrent flooding events.
