Abstract: The Dam Safety Guidelines published in 2007 by the Canadian Dam Association (CDA) provide limited guidance for owners and consultants to effectively carry out Dam Safety Reviews (DSR). Practices vary widely across Canada, so the CDA has formed a working group to develop material to supplement the Dam Safety Guidelines. It is expected that a Technical Bulletin on Dam Safety Reviews will be published and that continuing education materials will be developed for the CDA membership. This paper presents the concept developed by the working group for further discussion and input, and at the same time outlines current practices related to Dam Safety Reviews in Canada.
This paper draws on a number of sources in addition to the Dam Safety Guidelines: many individual CDA members, through sessions at both the 2011 and 2012 annual conferences; the expertise of the Dam Safety Review Working Group of CDA; and input from a working group of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia (APEGBC) that is developing professional practice guidelines for legislated Dam Safety Reviews.
