"Examples of non-[[structural]] Interim Risk Reduction Measures include:
*"Reservoir restrictions or change in reservoir operations. If this measure is considered viable then the [[owner]]/licensee should begin immediate action to update their reservoir operations plan to reflect the operational change or reservoir restriction. In the interim a deviation from the current reservoir operations plan should be implemented until the reservoir operations plan is updated to reflect the operational change or reservoir restriction. National [[Environmental]] Policy Act (NEPA) and other environmental reviews may be required.
*"Pre-position emergency contracts for rapid supply of other needed items/equipment.
*"Stockpiling emergency materials, e.g., rock, sand, sand bags, emergency bulkheads, lighting plants, or other operating equipment, etc.
*"Use of other [[reservoirs]] in the system, if present, may be required to mitigate the impact of regulation schedule changes. If the change in regulation schedule is required for other dams in the system, then a regulation deviation for those dams would be required as well.
