12103535DBe it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 10.1-611 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 10.1-611. Dam safety coordination.
The Board shall coordinate all impoundment safety activities
in the Commonwealth, which shall include, but not be limited to: (i) the
maintenance of an inventory of all impoundment structures,
and of all other similar structures which that are not regulated under
this article to the extent the Board deems necessary; (ii) the maintenance of a
repository for record drawings of all such structures to the extent the Board
deems necessary; (iii) the maintenance of an inventory of safety inspection
reports for each such structure to the extent the Board deems necessary; and
(iv) the maintenance of a secondary repository for all dam safety emergency
action plans, which are primarily filed
with the Department of Emergency Management. The Board shall consult with the Department
of Emergency Management in its planning for impoundment
safety and shall provide technical
assistance in the preparation, updating, and execution of such dam safety emergency action
plans. It shall establish uniform maintenance-of-records requirements and
uniform inspection standards to be applied to all impounding structures in the
Commonwealth and to be recommended for all other similar structures. It may
inspect or cause to be inspected state-owned or state-licensed dams on a cost reimbursable cost-reimbursable basis at the
request of the state agency owning the state-owned dam or of the licensor of
the state-licensed dam.
