DSMMCX Mission

A National Center that provides oversight and technical support for the Agency’s Dam Safety Modification Mission

- Oversees and coordinates the seven Regional Dam Safety Production Centers (DSPCs) established to execute that Mission

- The Great Lakes and Ohio River Division’s Regional DSPC is co-located with the DSMMCX in Huntington District

Why Develop Centers to Execute the DS Mission?

$26B of DS modifications needed to reduce risk on USACE DSAC I, II and III dams to tolerable limits (about $500M/year over a 53 year period)

Dam Safety Investment Plan (DSIP) Projects unevenly distributed across the nation Some Divisions have no work for ten years – can’t sustain

competencies

Centers provide for consistency, efficiency, effectiveness, quality, and sustained technical competence
