Owners and operators of high hazard dams have a responsibility to develop emergency action plans (EAPs)
and to keep them current. These plans are developed to reduce the risk to loss of life and property if the dam fails.
Many dam owners may not know where to start in developing EAPs or what to include in them. Templates are available to assist in EAP development. |

NRCS developed and published a series of software in the 1970’s that provided quick
designs of several common, reinforced concrete, water resource structures. This
software suite, published as TR42, TR45, TR50, TR54, and TR63, generated structural
designs for single cell conduits, twin cell conduits, rectangular channels, SAF basins,
and drop spillways respectively. |
