Evaluate recorded instrument readings, changes in instrumentation, condition of instruments, observations, and conclusions from past 10 or previous formal inspection. UNDERWATER INSPECTIONS Date of last underwater inspection: Underwater inspection needed? SIGNIFICANT DAM EVENTS/EMERGENCIES (Overtopping Events, Damage, Failure, Other) Description of each event within past 10 years or since previous formal inspection, including any repairs completed. CONCLUSION DAM INSPECTION PROGRAM GUIDELINES The following new guidelines have been established by the NJDEP Division of Dam Safety & Flood Control to help meet the requirements of the National Inventory of Dams condition assessment of existing dam structures. Please follow the guidelines/definitions below and select the appropriate checkbox. SATISFACTORY No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected all applicable loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the applicable regulatory criteria. Minor maintenance items may be required. FAIR Acceptable performance is expected under all required loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the applicable dam safety regulatory criteria. Minor deficiencies may exist that require remedial action and/or secondary studies or investigations. POOR A dam safety deficiency is recognized for any required loading condition (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the applicable dam safety regulatory criteria. Remedial action is necessary. POOR also applies when further critical studies or investigations are needed to identify any potential dam safety deficiencies. UNSATISFACTORY Considered unsafe. A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution. Reservoir restrictions may be necessary.
