10 CSR 22-2.030 - Types of Dams and Reservoirs
(1) There
are two (2) types of dams and reservoirs, conventional dams and reservoirs and
industrial water retention dams and reservoirs. The two (2) types of dams and
reservoirs are distinguished on the basis of their reservoir contents and the
length of the time period during which active dam building occurs.
(2) Conventional dams and reservoirs (see
10 CSR
22-1.020(9)) are dams and reservoirs
used for purposes other than tailings, slime, settling or other similar
industrial water retention purposes. A conventional dam is constructed in one
(1) relatively continuous operation over a short time span (compared to the
design life of the reservoir). Filling and use of the reservoir occurs after
construction is completed.
(3)
Industrial water retention dams and reservoirs (see
10 CSR
22-1.020(27)) are dams and reservoirs
used for the purpose of storing solids and the water associated with the
particular industrial process such as tailings, slime and other similar
industrial materials. An industrial water retention dam may be constructed in
phases and steps or continuously, over a long period of time (compared to the
design life of the reservoir). Filling and use of the reservoir may occur
during most phases of construction. An industrial water retention dam and
reservoir in existence or under construction on the effective date of
10 CSR
22-2.020(2), August 13, 1981, shall
obtain a registration permit which may include approval to make enlargements.
The owner of any such dam and reservoir shall apply for and obtain new
construction and/or registration permits for any modifications to that dam and
reservoir other than enlargements covered by an existing permit. A construction
permit is required and shall be obtained by the owner, for the initial
construction phase of any new industrial water retention dam and reservoir
built after the effective date of
10 CSR
22-2.020(3), August 13, 1981. Upon
completion of the initial construction phase, the owner shall apply for a
safety permit for the operation and enlargement of the new dam and
reservoir.
