<br />causing minor damage (Class III) are inspected at least once <br />every five years. <br /> <br />Jurisdictional dams, which the State Engineer determines <br />not to be a hazard, except perhaps to the respective dam <br />owner, are not inspected routinely (ClasslV). Further <br />discussion of the four hazard classifications for jurisdictional <br />dams is found in the Rules and Regulations, listed as a <br />reference in Table 2 and available for purchase from the State <br />Engineer's office. <br /> <br />Other dams may be inspected for compliance with size <br />criteria or in response to a complaint or request for <br />inspection. The cost of all dam inspections are usually <br />invoiced to the owner as required by statute. The charges are <br />based on the amount of time and expenses incurred but <br />cannot exceed $125 per day. When a complaint is received <br />it is evaluated for urgency and handled based on a reasonable <br />priority. The complainant is advised that if a dam is <br />inspected and found safe, that they may be charged for the <br />inspection. If the dam is unsafe, the owner will be advised <br />and invoiced for the inspection. Further information on the <br />Safety Inspection Program may be found in the State <br />Engineer's Dam Safety Manual (see Table 2), Copies of the <br />Dam Safety Manual are available from the State Engineer's <br />Office. <br /> <br />6 <br />
