BOR [Bureau of Reclamation] estimates that it owns 471 dams and dikes, 348 reservoirs, 300-plus conveyance and distribution systems, and a total water storage capacity of 245 million acre-feet. Much of this infrastructure is 50 to 100 years old.
Today, we want to gain a better understanding of the issues associated with this aging infrastructure. Specifically, the committee wants to better understand how BOR is managing its inventory, including ongoing efforts to evaluate the condition of these assets, the range of authorized programs available to assist in maintaining this infrastructure, and the relative responsibility of BOR and its contractors in this effort. Finally, the subcommittee needs to focus on any and all issues having to do with public safety.
