Section 10 CSR 22-3.020 - General Requirements

PURPOSE: To reduce redundant restrictive language.

(1) The permit application must contain information required by the council and the chief engineer including, but not limited to, the following information: type of permit being applied for; name of owners; mailing address of owners; telephone number(s) of owners; name of dam; name of reservoir; coordinate location of the dam centerline at the maximum section; purpose or use of dam and reservoir; name, address and telephone number of the experienced professional engineer or agency engineer who has provided or will provide required technical assistance; and the downstream environment zone environmental class for the dam and reservoir. The owners must complete all applicable investigations required in 10 CSR 223.0202-10 CSR 22-3.050 before filing a permit application. All permit applications must be filed with the chief engineer at the address listed in 10 CSR 22-3.010(4).
(2) The owner must provide a determination of an environmental class for each dam and reservoir. The method, data and assumptions used by the owner to determine environmental class shall conform to practices reputable and in current use in the engineering, geologic and construction professions or the chief engineer may reject the owner's classification. If an owner chooses not to have this done by an experienced professional engineer or an agency engineer, the chief engineer will assign the dam and reservoir to environmental class I or s/he may assign the dam and reservoir to another environmental class if s/he has justification to do so.
(3) The anticipated consequences of a dam failure with respect to public safety, life and property damage are important considerations in establishing acceptable methods for specific investigations and sites. Methods used in exploration design, construction and maintenance must be in accordance with good engineering practices reputable and in current use in the engineering, geologic and construction professions.
(4) When the owner is applying for a construction permit, the design factors of safety for slope stability for earth and rock conventional dams which are given in Table 1 shall be met. The required design factors of safety for concrete conventional dams are given in Table 2. The required design factors of safety for slope stability for industrial water retention dams are given in Table 3. Owners shall meet these requirements in the design of new dams prior to the issuance of the permit. Owners shall also meet these requirements when substantial changes are proposed to the height or slope of an existing conventional dam or structure prior to the issuance of the construction permit (see the following tables).
(5) For new dams constructed wholly or partially of cohesionless materials (such as sands and silts) or having a foundation of cohesion-less materials, earthquake loading may result in the build-up of pore water pressures and a loss of strength. Engineers shall take this pore pressure increase and loss of strength into account when performing their stability analysis, but the degree to which liquefaction may affect the factor of safety for slope stability shall be left up to the engineer's best judgment. Bedrock accelerations and earthquake intensities are listed in Table 4.
(6) New dams constructed wholly of cohesive materials (such as clays) and having a foundation of cohesive materials or rock, can be expected to withstand significant earthquake shaking if it can be shown that other required design factors of safety for slope stability are met. Therefore, only new dams located in Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemiscot, Ripley, Scott, Stoddard and Wayne Counties must meet the requirements for slope stability during earthquake loading while dams located in other counties do not unless 10 CSR 22-3.030(5) applies to them. Bedrock accelerations and earthquake intensities are listed in

(See Table 4).

(7) The required spillway design flood, which shall allow for flood storage in the reservoir, is to be derived by using the precipitation values given in Table 5 and shall apply to both new and existing dams.
