2012 SESSION
Be 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.
