Develop an accurate model or timeframe for communities to use to understand how much time they have, based on where they live, before they are in danger of flooding due to: ● Complete dam failure ● Partial dam failure (i.e. emergency spillway failure) A. Thb recommendation will not be implemented because it is beyond the abilities and expertise of the Sheriffs Offrce. llte do not employ dam engineers or hydrologist. By law, the operators of any dam must provide a plan in the case of damfailure (Government Code - GOV S 8589.5). We rely on models and timeframes provided by the competent authorities overseeing the Dam.
