  • The following situations will require an independent consultant review of the design of a new dam or significant enlargement of an existing dam.

    1. Any dam that in the opinion of the State Engineer warrants additional review due to the large size or complexity of the dam and/or reservoir, or to supplement the technical expertise of the design engineer.

    2. Any high or moderate hazard dam which, in the opinion of the State Engineer, has a unique problem requiring additional review.

    3. Any high or moderate hazard dam whose design is not typical of dams normally built in the state and is thus beyond the technical abilities of the State Engineer's dam safety staff.

    4. If the owner's engineer and the State Engineer cannot reach an agreement on the design of a dam.

    5. If the owner specifically requests an independent consultant review.
