From ASDSO Dam Safety Toolbox
ASDSO, 2025
The Regulation of Tailings Dams: Supplement to the Model State Dam Safety Program was developed by the Tailings Dam Regulatory Committee of the Association of State Dam Safety Officials in response to a gap analysis of the National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) in the United States (US). The gap analysis evaluated the applicability of, and deficiencies in, the publications of the NDSP to address tailings dams. This document was developed in response to specifically reinforce the Model State Dam Safety Program (FEMA P-316).
