Proposed Regulations for VA Soil & Water Consv Board's Impounding Structure Regs (Dam Safety Regs)
 
I am in favor of most of these proposed changes, especially Alternative 2.  I am NOT, however, in favor or 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.
