Connecticut Dams - Public Use

Connecticut Dams is a 1:24,000 scale spatial data developed for use by the Dam Safety Section of the Inland Water Resources Division, Bureau of Water Protection and Land Reuse, Department of Environmental Protection, State of Connecticut. The Dam Safety Section of the Inland Water Resources Division is charged with the responsibility for administration and enforcement of Connecticut's dam safety laws. The existing statutes require that permits be obtained to construct, repair or alter dams, dikes or similar structures and that existing dams, dikes and similar structures be registered and periodically inspected to assure that their continued operation and use does not constitute a hazard to life, health or property. The dam safety statutes are codified in Section 22a-401 through 22a-411 inclusive of the Connecticut General Statutes. Sections 22a-409-1 and 22a-409-2 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, have been enacted which govern the registration, classification, and inspection of dams. The Connecticut Dams data depict the locations of dams throughout the state of Connecticut. The information may be dated in some instances and is best used in conjunction with other 1:24,000 scale data such as hydrography, drainage basins, and political boundaries. Attribute information includes a unique dam number and dam hazard classification that rates the potential hazard to life and property as defined by Connecticut State Statute (Section 22a-409-1d), in the event of a dam breach. This information is not intended to be used or printed at map scales greater or more detailed than 1:24,000 scale (1 in. = 2,000 ft.).康涅狄格州大坝数据集（Connecticut Dams）为比例尺1:24000的空间数据集，专为康涅狄格州环境保护部水资源保护与土地复垦局内陆水资源处大坝安全科开发使用。该科室承担康涅狄格州大坝安全法律法规的管理与执法职责。现行法规要求，建造、修复或改造大坝、堤防及类似构筑物须申领许可，同时现有大坝、堤防及同类构筑物需完成登记并定期接受检查，以确保其持续运行与使用不会对生命、健康或财产构成威胁。康涅狄格州大坝安全法规已编入《康涅狄格州总法典》第22a-401条至第22a-411条（含首尾条款）。《康涅狄格州州级机构条例》第22a-409-1条与第22a-409-2条已颁布实施，用于规范大坝的登记、分级与检查工作。康涅狄格州大坝数据集呈现了全州范围内大坝的空间分布位置。部分数据存在时效性局限，建议配合比例尺1:24000的其他空间数据集（如水文数据、流域盆地数据与行政界线数据）协同使用。该数据集的属性信息包含唯一大坝编号，以及依据康涅狄格州州法第22a-409-1d条定义的大坝灾害等级分类，该分类用于评估大坝溃坝时对生命与财产的潜在威胁程度。本数据集不得用于或印刷为比例尺大于或精度高于1:24000（即1英寸对应2000英尺）的地图。
