Inspections for Safety Evaluation of Existing Dams (SEED) reports are conducted on a cyclic schedule; approximately 15-16 dams are evaluated each year (SEED reports are required on each dam under the responsibility of the Bureau of Indian Affairs every six years). The relative probability of dam failure (risk-of-failure) is determined from the technical factors used in the SEED report to determine placement on the Department of the Interior's Technical Priority Rating List. This priority list is then used to prioritize budget requests for repair of the Bureau's most unsafe dams. Approximately $2,000,000 of the funds for the dam maintenance program are distributed in accordance with the Technical Priority Rating listing for Department of the Interior dams.
