Initial Risk Screening Based on<br />
PMF<br />
• Exceptions to screening out failure mode if no<br />
overtopping<br />
– PMF is not current and is expected to increase<br />
– PMF is for a certain storm event and a more critical<br />
storm event may exist<br />
– The spillway is gated and there are concerns that the<br />
spillway may not be operated as intended<br />
– Reasons to believe assumptions made in flood<br />
routing may not be achieved during an actual flood<br />
