This standard establishes a clear framework for conducting climate change vulnerability assessments for dams in Canada. The standard will be fit to purposes and will work towards including requirements for determining the potential impacts of climate change on dam components and operations and the implications it might have for their strategic asset management processes providing a basis for climate change adaptation planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, specific to the dam system.

1.1 Exclusions

This standard does not apply to:

a)    The physical impacts or interactions of the dam system on the surrounding environment (i.e. erosion, downstream flooding, fisheries, water quality, etc.);

b)   Emission from the reservoir; and

c)    Transitional risks which do not directly affect the operations or functions of the dam

 

1.2 Terminology

In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

1.3 Units of measure

The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.

– persons (including children) whose

   • physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or

   • lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;

– children playing with the appliance.

NOTE 101 Attention is drawn to the fact that
