To all dam owners/operators/engineering consultants:

Dam Safety Visual Inspection Checklist Guidelines have been updated to help meet the requirements of the National Inventory of Dams condition assessment of existing dam structures. The new guidelines incorporate a revised conclusion section to better evaluate the condition of dam structures on a National basis. The new guidelines are available for download at: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/damsafety/forms.htm

Please use (or insure your engineer uses) the updated format for all future inspections. Should you have any questions, please contact this office at (609) 984-0859.
