On December 17, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Cyber and Infrastructure Analysis (OCIA) released a new report: “Aging and Failing Infrastructure Systems: Dams.” Among the findings:  states, localities, and private entities own 82 percent of all high-hazard potential dams; the Dam Safety Act expired in 2011, which limits federal funds available to support state dam safety programs; and 31% of dam safety incidents occur during construction or the first 5 years of operation. As overview documents for senior officials, OCIA reports are generally high-level treatments of complex subjects.  See a related article about another OCIA report about dams in AMWA’s April 2015 Sustainability & Security Report.
