<br />federal government and to recommend actions that csn be <br />effective within the acknowledged limits of authority. <br />The proposals offered in this report are realistic <br />ones. They call for a level of cooperation between dam <br />owners and governmental agencies (both federal and <br />state) that is greater than that which has been <br />traditionally obtained, but one that is imperative if <br />the consequences of a dam failure are to be deterred. <br /> <br />The committee was organized and staffed to include <br />civil engineers, representatives of state agencies that <br />supervise dam safety. and other experts with a range of <br />experience with federal and nonfederal dams. The <br />committee's members have expertise in fields. such as <br />legal liability of dam owners. insurance, risk <br />assessment. institutional and policy issues, and fede~a <br />and state safety programs. Thus, the committee <br />represents a balance of expertise and viewpoints. <br />Further, several of its members and con$ultants served <br />on the 1977 National Research Council committee that <br />reviewed the safety of dams built by the U.S. Bureau of <br />Reclamation. The committee's members and their current <br />affiliations are listed in the front of this report, an <br />a brief biography of each is provided in Appendix B. <br /> <br />The committee's members and other workshop <br />participants gave willingly of their time and counsel. <br />All deserve credit equally for the substance and <br />recommendations found in this report. The committee is <br />grateful for the assistance provided by the staffs of <br />the National Research Council and the Federal Emergency <br />Management Agency. Their ready support enabled the <br />committee to focus quickly and efficiently on the <br />assigned task and to complete it on time. <br /> <br />Robert B. Jails <br />Chairman <br /> <br />February 28. 1982 <br /> <br />x <br />
