Are terms in the plan defined so that users will have no <br />questions about the nature of the situation? <br /> <br />a. failure vs. impending failure <br />b. an emergency situation vs. a potential problem <br />c. a rapidly vs. slowly developing situation <br />d. how much time before a crisis occurs <br /> <br />B. Problem Identification <br /> <br />1. Are all potential indicators of potential failure covered in the <br />plan? <br /> <br />a. slumping/sloughing <br />b. erosion <br />c. riprap displacement <br />d. slides on dam or abutment <br />e. increased amount of seepage <br />f. cloudy seepage <br />g. boils <br />h. piping <br />i. whirlpool (vortices) <br />j. settlement <br />k. cracks <br />1. bogs <br />m. sinkholes <br />n. abnormal instrumentation <br />o. failure of operating equipment <br />p. water in the intake tower <br />q. other <br /> <br />2.
