§ 2577.3. Standard Requirements.

The following are standard requirements for an inundation map:

(a) A map and technical study shall be submitted to the Office 60 days prior to the filling of any dam under construction or enlargement.

(b) An inundation map and technical study shall be submitted to the Agency within 180 days of the final approval of these regulations for any existing dam not having an approved inundation map, or for which the dam owner has not applied for a waiver.

(c) A dam owner shall respond to recommendations made by the Agency to conform inundation maps to sections 2577.4-2577.5. The response shall be submitted to the Agency within 60 days of mailing of such recommendations.

(d) Failure by the dam owner to comply with a request for information from the Agency within 60 days and in a reasonably responsive manner shall be cause for the Agency to disapprove an inundation map.

(e) An inundation map submittal will be considered complete when the Agency has received two (2) copies of the completed technical study and map incorporating the recommendations by the Agency.

(f) The Agency, for good cause, may extend any time requirement. The Agency may additionally forgo any information required for a complete inundation map submittal, including but not limited to the requirements of sections 2577.4 -2577.5 where the Agency determines that it has sufficient information to commence and complete a review, and that all requirements for issuance of an approval will be met and substantial accuracy will not be compromised by such action.

(g) Each dam must have its own individual technical study. A technical study may only address multiple dams if it is a situation where it is probable that the failure of one dam will cause the failure of one or more dams downstream.

(h) The owner of a dam shall submit final copies of inundation maps to the Agency within 60 days of notification by the Agency that the technical study and map are approved.
