Dam Safety Training
تدريب التصريح العام للسدود منخفضة الخطورة
The DCR Dam Safety Division is introducing a revised general permit program, beginning in January 2026, that is designed to reduce the administrative time and cost burden for owners to meet regulatory requirements for low hazard dams. We would like to extend an invitation to low hazard dam owners and their representatives for several training opportunities to learn more about the general permit program. Topics will include:
- Transfer process from a regular O&M certificate to a general permit (no PE inspection requirement)
- Simplified Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP)
- General permit statement, to be completed and signed by owners
- Reduced spillway conveyance requirements, dependent on potential at-risk structures and property
You can find updated language regarding general permits in Virginia’s Dam Safety Act 10.1-605.3, located here.
Each webinar will cover all topics and last 1-hour with a 45-minute presentation and 15-minutes for Q&A. Please register your attendance through one of the following links:
