150: Owner of dam must supply annual dam compliance certificate
or “Every year, people who own big dams must give a special paper to show they're following safety rules.”
You could also call this:

“Trusted dam owners don't need to get a yearly safety check for their dams.”

If you own a dam and you’re an accredited dam owner, you don’t have to follow the rules in Section 150 about getting an annual dam compliance certificate. This means you don’t need to get a certificate each year to show that your dam is safe and working properly. The government trusts that you, as an accredited owner, know how to take care of your dam without needing this yearly check.
