    Training Workshop Announcement for Dam Safety Performance Monitoring Program and Potential Failure Modes Analysis - Including Facilitator Training

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission presents training workshops, titled, Dam Safety Performance Monitoring Program (DSPMP) and Potential Failure Mode Analysis (PFMA) for dam owners, consultants and FERC staff to introduce and facilitate implementation of the DSPMP and PFMA.

    Location Date Agenda
    Sheraton Denver West Hotel
    360 Union Blvd.
    Lakewood, Colorado 80228
    (303) 987-2000
    November 8 and 9, 2005 Agenda PDF

    FERC, in cooperation with a team of dam owners and independent consultants, has developed a revised and enhanced FERC Part 12D dam safety inspection procedure. The DSPMP, Chapter 14 of the FERC Engineering Guidelines, also includes guidance for Potential Failure Mode Analyses (PFMA), which is to be carried out as part of the Part 12D Independent Consultant's Inspection Report. Access complete description of the new DSPMP and an online copy Chapter 14.

    The training workshops have two parallel objectives:

    1. To familiarize dam owners and independent consultants the new DSPMP process which utilizes the PFMA so that they are equipped to accomplish them on their dams; and
    2. To provide training for potential facilitators of the PFMA

    The training workshop covers the new FERC requirements related to the DSPMP, including a revised outline for the Part 12D report. We believe that it would be very helpful for you and your prospective Part 12 D independent consultants to attend this course. The workshop is open to all, however, owners and consultants who are scheduled to perform Part 12D inspections and prepare Part 12D reports using the new DSPMP this year will be given priority for attending this training. Space is limited, is on a first come/first serve basis and the workshop fills up quickly. Plan early to reserve space in the workshop.

    Please register for the course by clicking on the following link: View Details. The course will include the requirement to read materials in advance so we will need the names of the specific individuals attending. At the time of registration, please complete all fields for each attendee from your organization. There is no charge for the course. If you need further information or assistance please contact Mrs. Natalie Leech at 202-502-6396; natalie.leech@ferc.gov.
