SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Dam safety. Requires that the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board's Impounding Structure Regulations not require any dam in existence or under construction prior to July 1, 2010, that is classified as a high hazard, or is subsequently reclassified as a high hazard dam, to upgrade its spillway to pass a rainfall event that is greater than the maximum rainfall event recorded in Virginia. In addition, a dam would be in compliance with the spillway requirement of the regulations if the dam passes two-thirds of the maximum rainfall event and the dam's owner annually certifies that the dam meets certain specific conditions.
