    4. Landslides, GLOFs, LDOFs, and debris flow: Data to be Collected: • Geology of
    Region and the potential for these formations • Recent Historical Evidence of
    formations • Geotechnical Studies and Investigations (Example: Are the studies been
    carried out that demonstrate a low potential for major landslides and/or debris flows to
    occur? (Information on Recent and Past Sedimentation studies been done) •
    Degree of Mitigation Measures in place for formations.

    filter known? Distress condition of filters? Is there a way to inspect the existing filters?
    Monitoring of Discharge through filter.
    8. Foundation: Geotechnical Investigations and analyses of foundations: material type,
    gradation, density, shear strength, and permeability • Geologic presence of problematic
    formations (dispersive soils, karst, glacial deposits, highly fractured or jointed rock,
    slip zones, landslides) • Adequacy of designed mitigation measures (filters, drains,
    berms, relief wells, weirs, cutoffs, grouting, stabilizations, and other foundation
    improvements.)
    B. Existing Conditions:
    1. Seismic design: Data to be Collected:
    • Adequacy of design compared to current standards
    • Resilience of dam based on type and foundation materials
    • Performance during earthquakes

    maintenance compliance with operations manual • Condition/Operability •
    Performance History

    of accessibility to site • Potential for the road to be impassable due to flooding by
    releases, fires, or bridges • Location and availability of remote staff to respond.

    6. Concrete Gravity dam: Data to be Collected: •Regarding Observed distress in:


    Cracking, Foundation drains, Concrete deterioration, Wet surfaces, Leaching,
    Movement/misalignment, Rock formations, anchors failed due to deterioration?

    elements? Anchor conditions? Information on instrumentation trends?

    overburden or other problematic natural materials: • Data to be Collected: • Movement
    distress from settlement and global instability, (cracking, depressions, bulging, erosion,
    slides, riprap) • Internal erosion distress from backward erosion & piping, concentrated
    leak erosion, and suffusion (boils, sinks, seepage, vegetation, discharge and

    who, how, and when the owner communicates during dam incidents and failures •
    Data on how the plan is exercised and updated. • Information on how the plan is
    communicated to the public. • Plans which describe how remedial actions to reduce
    risk are implemented, including procurement of services.
