15 CAR § 23-805 – Operation of gates and controls

(a) All gates, valves, and controls must be maintained in operational condition.
(b) Operation of each such item must be tested at least annually, and such tests must be documented in the owner’s permanent records.
(c) However, tests may be waived by the Chief Engineer of the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission if the design of drainage facilities and/or their condition is such that reclosing the drain would be impossible until the reservoir was substantially emptied.
