(vi) Description of Requirements: State dam safety agencies generally regulate dams built with Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) assistance as part of watershed projects authorized by section 13 of the Flood Control Act of 1944, 33 U.S.C. 7016-1 and the Watershed Protection and Flood Control Act of 1954, 16 U.S.C. 1001-1012. Watershed sponsors own the dams. Watershed sponsors are local units of government established under state law and work in close partnership with NRCS locally in planning, installing, operating, and maintaining dams as critical parts of many watershed projects. These projects are cooperative undertakings by the federal government with states and their local political subdivisions. Inspection and Assessment of Existing Dams is an elemental means to evaluate the condition and maintain these structures in good operating condition. Current NRCS policy and many state agency regulations require inspection and assessment throughout the life of all dams; however, as the structure hazard classification increases, the need to do these critical inspections and assessments increases. The training for entry-level NRCS and state dam safety personnel is necessary to develop the proficiency to conduct the inspections and assessments in a skilled and professional manner. Training in topics related to dam design, construction, operation and maintenance, emergency action planning enhances this proficiency. The intent of this section of the contract is to provide training workshops for NRCS and state dam safety officials on the inspections and assessments of existing dams. The intended result of this training is to increase the knowledge needed and the proficiency to conduct the evaluation for NRCS personnel, and state dam safety officials, and other professionals on the items to inspect, the procedures to assess, and the process required to complete them on existing dams. The actions will improve NRCS's, state dam safety officials, and other professional's ability to assist watershed sponsors and dam owners in these actions. The Contractor shall: 1.
