The standards include that the person reconstructing the dam is only required to possess flooding easements or ownership that were held prior to the reconstruction, as long as the former normal pool elevation is not exceeded, the spillway capacity is increased by at least 50 percent, and the flooding easements or ownership are only required to the top of the reconstructed spillway elevation.
