Section 3702.80  Dam Breach

Wave Advisories

For certain Class I or Class II

dams which, because of physical conditions or density or downstream land use,

would be a threat to life and property if failure occurred, OWR may file a dam

breach wave advisory with the appropriate county clerk outlining the probable

extent and impact of a dam failure on the affected downstream area.
