As a minimum, the design must address the following:

1. (1) Slope stability under all probable loading conditions;
2. (2) Stability against sliding and overturning;
3. (3) Adequacy of foundation for imposed loads;
4. (4) Adequacy of energy dissipating devices at discharge points;
5. (5) Adequacy of channels and conduits for expected flows;
6. (6) Protection of embankments and other earth slopes from erosion; and

7. (7)

   1. (A) Stability against seismic forces for all “High or Significant Hazard” dams in Seismic Zones 2 and 3.
   2. (B) See Appendix, Figure 1.
