After the investigation and analysis, the chief engineer may recommend that a variance to board rules relating to minimum spillway design requirements for dams be granted or denied. The recommendation, notice, and hearing before the board shall be conducted pursuant to the procedure contained in chapter </span><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=46-2A"><span class="s2066852DefaultParagraphFont">46-2A</span></a><span class="s2066852DefaultParagraphFont">. Following the hearing, the board may grant a variance upon a finding that failure of the dam due to inadequate spillway capacity will not increase the potential for damage from flooding to downstream residents or property.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2066852Normal"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2066852000001"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2066852Normal"><span class="s2066852SCL">Source:</span><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2066852SCL-000002"> SL 1987, ch 328, § 1D.</span></p></div></body></html><br /><hr><br /><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta charset="UTF-8" /><meta http-equiv='content-language' content='en-us'/><title>SDLRC - Codified Law 46 - WATER RIGHTS </title><meta name="Generator" content="PowerTools for Open XML" /><style>span { white-space: pre-wrap;
