An Act amending the act of November 26, 1978 (P.L.1375, No.325), known as the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act, further providing for definitions and for scope of act.

SB 352 updates Pennsylvania's Dam Safety and Encroachments Act by adding a definition for "flood-related hazard" (e.g., debris or obstructions that increase flood risks to life or property). It clarifies which dams must comply with safety regulations, specifying that dams exceeding 15 feet in depth or 50 acre-feet in water storage capacity - whether on watercourses or used for non-water fluids - are covered. The bill explicitly excludes routine flood mitigation on farms under the Right-to-Farm Law. This amendment ensures the law applies consistently to significant dams and hazards while maintaining existing agricultural exemptions.
