Exceptions to construction permit process.
If the department determines that emergency or exigency conditions exist at a dam and that it is in the best interests of public safety to expedite the construction or modification of a dam, the department may elect to temporarily suspend the normal construction permit process. To allow this exception, the department will issue a written conditional construction permit, which:
(1) May initially be oral;
(2) Will specify the construction activities to be allowed;
(3) May be terminated at a time deemed appropriate by the department;
(4) Shall incorporate, to the extent possible, and not inconsistent with the situation, all applicable requirements of this chapter.
