With reference to the current CDA Dam Safety Guidelines, AAFC requires a full Dam Safety Review of Moosomin Dam including all associated works. The dam’s systems include all water retaining and conveyance structures that are integral to the dam, the reservoir and the downstream area, flow control equipment, and subsystems supporting safety (i.e. access roads and signage). The Dam Safety Review shall include all aspects required to determine if the dam is safe; operated safely and maintained in a safe condition; and, surveillance is adequate to detect any developing safety problem. As a general guideline AAFC has included in Annex A an excerpt from the Draft CDA Technical Bulletin on Dam Safety Reviews outlining the anticipated scope of the study.
The Consultant shall prepare a final report that clearly states all findings of the review, and any conclusions and recommendations to permit AAFC to fulfill the responsibilities of dam owners with respect to dam safety. As part of the report the Consultant shall determine and clearly demonstrate one of the following conclusions:
- The dam meets all safety requirements.
- The dam does not meet some safety requirements and list the deficiencies and recommended actions.
