Proposed regulations for Va Soil & Water Conservation Board's Impounding Structure Regulations
 
I am in favor of most of these proposed changes, especially Alternative 2. I am not, however, in favor of removing classification IV from the regulations. These small dams that have no impact on anyone but the owners should not be subjected to the expense of  a certified engineer.
