The NYS-DEC is the relevant state agency for all matters related to dams. DEC has many offices within the department, and navigating through their levels of organization for the first time can be challenging. Their sub-departmental scheme is laid out here:
1. Department of Environmental Conservation
2. Lands and Waters
3. Bureau of Dam Safety, Coastal & Flood Protection
4. Dam Safety Section
Bureau of Dam Safety, Coastal & Flood Protection
- Dam Safety Forms
- Information for dam owners and community emergency preparedness
- NY State Inventory of Dams Map
- Guidance for Dam Hazard Classification
- Owner’s Guidance Manual for the Inspection and Maintenance of Dams
- NY Codes, Rules, and Regulations on Dam Procedures and Regulations
