Georgia Safe Dams Program
The Georgia Safe Dams Program is part of the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.[1] The Safe Dams Program must:
- Inventory all existing and proposed dams over 25 feet (7.6 m) tall or with a 100 acre feet (120,000 m3) of storage at the top of the dam.
- Reinventory existing low hazard (Category II) dams at least every five years.
- Classify dams based on development within the dam failure flood zone downstream.
- Approve plans and specifications for construction and repair of all high hazard (Category I) dams.
- Continuously monitor Category I dams for safety.
Category I dams might result in loss of human life upon failure or improper operation; Category II would not.

gollark: Of course, I doubt SUSCorp™ has sufficient simulation ability for this to be a problem.
gollark: Maybe not when calculating rough approximations to apionic systems, but if you try and extrapolate forward by more than 22🐝 or so you'll get cascading errors.
gollark: It entirely ignores the effects of the third derivatives of the apionic conjugate transpose matrices.
gollark: No, that is *wildly* incomplete.
gollark: How bad.
