"State governments regulate 80 percent of the approximately 87,000 dams listed in the National Inventory of Dams (NID). Although state programs vary in the scope of their authority, program activities typically provide for:
- Evaluation of existing dams,
- Review of plans and specifications for dam construction and major repairs,
- Periodic inspections of construction on new and existing dams, and
- Review and approval of Emergency Action Plans."[1]
In addition to state dam safety regulation, dam construction or rehabilitation projects may be subject to regulation by other local, state and federal agencies pertaining to environmental impacts, cultural resources and more. Hydropower dams in the United States may also be subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
