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: Stuff programmed in it is also software.
gollark: Javascript is a programming language. Interpreters for it are software.
gollark: *But* not all of that software will run on all other platforms. A web application can't run on some random 8-bit microcontroller, an Android app can't run on a Linux/Windows desktop environment without emulation, sort of thing.
