Our mission is to ensure dams in the state are constructed, maintained and operated in a safe manner. This is accomplished by regulation of all nonagricultural and nonfederal dams 35 feet or greater in height, as established by state laws, rules and regulations, and by providing technical assistance and informational resources to all dam owners.
