146: Review of dam safety assurance programme
or “The owner must check the dam safety plan regularly to make sure it's still good”
You could also call this:

“Changes to a dam's safety plan must follow the same rules as making a new one.”

When you want to change a dam safety assurance programme, you need to follow the same rules as when you first made the programme. These rules are found in sections 140 to 142. So, if you’re updating or changing any part of your dam safety plan, you must do it the same way you did when you first created it.
