  1. Click ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the manual and open it for editing. This will allow you direct access to the necessary document for assessment.
  2. Begin by reading the scope section to understand what structures this manual covers and the environmental standards expected.
  3. Proceed to the assessment requirements, focusing on Part 1, which outlines the initial consequence category assessment based on potential failure event scenarios.
  4. Review the specific assessment criteria detailed in Section 1.1, ensuring that you document all relevant failure event scenarios, including seepage, overtopping, and dam break.
  5. Move to Part 2, where hydraulic performance criteria are defined for dams categorized as 'regulated structures'. Make sure you document performance relating to seepage, overtopping, and dam break scenarios.
  6. In the hydraulic performance section, select your design standards according to the consequence category and ensure performance objectives are cited correctly.
  7. If applicable, explore Part 3 which offers considerations specific to levees, and replicate similar assessments tailored to levees.
  8. Finally, make any necessary changes, save the filled form, and ensure it is correct before downloading, printing or sharing it as needed.

What are regulated structures in Qld?

Regulated structures are dams or levees on a site that is regulated by an environmental authority, and which if improperly constructed and maintained, could have a serious or damaging impact on the environment and human health.

Failures of earthen embankment dams or dikes can generally be grouped into three classifications: hydraulic, seepage and structural.

Very low – where consequences from dam failure would be considered negligible; Low, Significant, High A, High B and High C; and. Extreme – where consequences from dam failure would be considered severe.

In the event of a dam failure, the potential energy of water stored behind the dam can cause significant damage to property and livelihoods, as well as injuries and loss of life for people downstream of the dam (FEMA, 2017).

The Causes of Dam Failure Overtopping caused by water spilling over the top of a dam. ... Foundation Defects, including settlement and slope instability, cause about 30% of all dam failures. ... Cracking caused by movements like the natural settling of a dam. Inadequate maintenance and upkeep.

The categories used in these guidelines are based on the severity of the potential damage and loss, in conjunction with either the Population at Risk (PAR) or Potential Loss of Life (PLL). This means that either a PAR or PLL analyses can be used to determine the consequence category.
