on file with FNI and executed contracts. A summary table with the sources for the major pieces of
information is included in Appendix A.
3.0 OWNER SURVEY
Following a preliminary review of these sources, the data on each dam was sent to the
corresponding dam owners for verification of the data, as well as additional data that they may have
had available. The packets sent to the owners included a summary of the pertinent data of the dam, a
letter explaining the purpose of the packet, a glossary of terms, a diagram illustrating the terms in the
glossary, and a brief survey. The survey questions included what, if any, modifications had been
made to the dam since 1970, the name of the original design engineer and whether FNI could have
permission to contact him/her, whether the owner had pictures of the dam and would provide them
in a digital format, and whether we could have permission to share information pertaining to the dam
with the TWDB. An example of the survey letter is included ion Appendix B.
A few weeks after the packets had been mailed out, follow up calls were made to each owner
(when possible) to check that they had received the packet, and to see if they had any questions.
Additional follow up phone calls were made to any owners that had not yet responded to the packet.
The responses received are included in Appendix C.
4.0 OTHER DATA
Pictures and plans of the dams were requested from the dam owner and in many cases they
were provided. In addition, the plans and photos which were available from FNI files were included
with the owner’s permission. These are included electronically.
