Previous law exempted the owner of a dam located on private property in a county with a population of less than 215,000 from meeting certain dam safety requirements if the dam meets other conditions. House Bill 677 amends the Water Code to increase the population threshold to 350,000. The bill removes the August 31, 2015, expiration date for this exemption and for the requirement that an owner of a dam comply with certain operation and maintenance requirements.
