Statute overview

About this statute

Anyone planning a dam must have suitable education, sufficient knowledge, and experience, and the staff responsible for dam operations must be sufficiently familiar with safety-related conditions, operations, and safety systems. A dam in a watercourse must be dimensioned for the flow that creates the greatest need for spillway release, and the dimensioning flow is expressed by annual probability or return interval. Hydrologic dimensioning rules for dams in watercourses also apply, as relevant, to other dams; flood barriers are dimensioned case by case based on flood-protection needs. Dammägaren måste lämna in dammplaner till dammsäkerhetsmyndigheten och ge myndigheten möjlighet att kontrollera att säkerhetskraven följs under byggandet. Klass 1- och 2-dammar ska vara tillräckligt höga för att vara säkra i alla driftssituationer, och jorddammars krön i klass 1 och 2 ska vara farbart hela vägen.
