"Condition: Please rate the condition as either Satisfactory, Fair, Poor or Unsatisfactory as described below:
1. Satisfactory- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. AcceptabBe performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with
the applicable regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
2. Fair- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal loading conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in adam safety deficiency. Risk may be in
the range to take further action.
3. Poor- Adam safety deficiency is recognized for loading conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. Poor may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical
analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Further investigations and studies are necessary.
4. Unsatisfactory- Adam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial uction for problem resolution.
