DNR still lagging in inspecting Wisconsin dams

Milw Journal Sentinel

...Dams are rated as being high hazard, significant hazard or low hazard. The rating does not measure the condition of the dam but indicates the potential damage a failure could cause. High-hazard dams could cause loss of life, and significant-hazard dams could cause environmental or property damage. Low-hazard dams have little potential for causing any type of damage.
