CHAPTER 42. DAM SAFETY
§ 4209. Supervision by qualified engineers; reports and modifications during work

(a) Any project for which the Department's approval is required under §§ 4204, 4205 and 4206 of this title and any project undertaken pursuant to an order of the Department issued pursuant to this chapter or § 4212 of this title shall be designed and the construction supervised by a licensed professional engineer in the State with related experience in dam design and construction.

(b) During the construction, enlargement, repair, alteration, or removal of any dam to which this chapter applies, the Department may require such progress reports from the supervising engineer responsible for design and construction quality assurance, as it deems necessary.

(c) If, based on inspection reports, construction inspections or other information, the Department finds that the work is not in compliance with the provisions of the approval and the approved plans and specifications, it shall give written notice to the person who received the approval and to the person in charge of construction of the dam. The notice shall state the particulars in which compliance has not been made, and shall order immediate compliance with the terms of approval, and the approved plans and specifications. The Department may order that no further construction work be undertaken until such compliance has been effected and approved by the Department. A failure to comply with the approval and the approved plans and specifications shall render the approval revocable unless compliance is made after notice as provided in this chapter.
