Utah Admin. Code 655-12-6A

Current through Bulletin No. 2024-21, November 1, 2024
Section R655-12-6A - Content
A. The emergency action plan shall include the following:
1. A notification flowchart for informing emergency support agencies, downstream interests, and the State Engineer.
2. A dam failure inundation map of a suitable scale and with sufficient topographical information which can be easily used by emergency support people. The map should be understandable by the public at large since persons which may be responsible for evacuation may have minimal training in reading maps. The State Engineer may waive the requirement for inundation maps if it can be shown that written descriptions of evacuation zones are clearer and easier to follow.
3. Procedures to identify possible emergencies, at what level an emergency action is initiated, and who is responsible for making necessary contacts.
4. A list of available materials, equipment, and manpower which can be activated on short notice to deal with possible emergencies or to mitigate damage following a dam failure.
B. All emergency action plans must be approved by the State Engineer. All persons included on the notification flowchart should receive copies and understand their role in the plan.
