Justification for changes described in Table 10 are as follows:

• The existing values in Table H3 relating to spillway, DSA and MRL do not reflect the ‘High’

consequence category for Dam Break (and ‘Low’ for Overtopping and Seepage);

• Changes to Spillway are derived from Table 6 from the DETSI Manual for assessing

consequence categories and hydraulic performance of structures;

• Changes to DSA are derived from Table 3 of ANCOLD requirements; and

• Changes to mandatory reporting level are derived from Table 5 from the DETSI Manual for

assessing consequence categories and hydraulic performance of structures.
