Regulation of Dams Committee

The Regulation of Dams Committee is somewhat unique within the CDA structure. As employees of provincial, territorial and federal regulatory agencies and not necessarily heavily involved in the technical aspects of dams, its members bring to the CDA, an awareness of some of the public policy and regulatory oversight aspects of dam construction, operations, maintenance and decommissioning.
