Bill overview
This bill revises Nevada’s regulations concerning dams and water obstructions. It exempts the State Engineer from liability for certain damages resulting from dam inspections and emergencies. The bill also simplifies the permitting process for dam construction and reconstruction, requiring approval instead of a permit for most projects. It mandates notification to the Department of Wildlife regarding dam decommissioning and clarifies the State Engineer’s authority to access land near dams, while also addressing beaver interference with water flow and removing some existing exemptions for federal agencies.
