Slow Progress in Developing and Implementing a National Dam Safety Program: Department of the Army. Corps of Engineers (Civil Functions)
The National Dam Inspection Act of 1972 provided, among other things, for the Corps of Engineers to inventory and inspect dam structures throughout the United States. The purpose of the act was to protect life and property and provide information for designing a comprehensive national dam safety program. The Corps' dam inventory was not adequately developed, and the Army never requested enough money from the Congress to inspect dams or to design a comprehensive national dam safety program. To obtain the information needed to design a national dam safety program, the Congress should direct the Corps of Engineers to: (1) Obtain and verify inventory data on all dams that the law covers; (2) Make at least a sampling of dam inspections; (3) Determine whether Federal participation is needed for a program to be effective and, if so, the nature of involvement; and (4) Present possible alternatives to the Congress.
