Section 6 of the National Dam Safety Program Act ( 33 U.S.C. 467d ) is amended to read as follows: The Secretary of the Army shall maintain and update information on the inventory of dams and low-head dams in the United States. The inventory maintained under subsection
(a)shall include any available information assessing each dam based on inspections completed by a Federal agency, a State dam safety agency, or a Tribal government. The inventory maintained under subsection
(a)shall include— the location, ownership, description, current use, condition, height, and length of each low-head dam; any information on public safety conditions at each low-head dam; and any other relevant information concerning low-head dams. In carrying out this section, the Secretary shall— coordinate with Federal and State agencies, Tribal governments, and other relevant entities; and use data provided to the Secretary by those agencies and entities. The Secretary shall make the inventory maintained under subsection
(a)publicly available (including on a publicly available website), including— public safety information on the dangers of low-head dams; and a directory of financial and technical assistance resources available to reduce safety hazards and fish passage barriers at low-head dams. Nothing in this section provides authority to the Secretary to carry out an activity, with respect to a low-head dam, that is not explicitly authorized under this section. In this section, the term low-head dam means a river-wide artificial barrier that generally spans a stream channel, blocking the waterway and creating a backup of water behind the barrier, with a drop off over the wall of not less than 6 inches and not more than 25 feet. . Section 15 of the National Dam Safety Program Act ( 33 U.S.C. 467o ) is repealed.
