Many small earthen embankments are faced with hazard classification changes due to urban encroachment. As a result, some embankments have inadequate spillway capacity. To bring the dam into compliance with state and federal dam safety laws, rehabilitation of the dam is often required. RCC stepped spillways are becoming a popular choice for addressing these issues.
