Dam owners must also make the same certifications available, upon request and within five business days, to any person. Dam owners who receive money for a dam rehabilitation project for which the state is serving as the nonfederal sponsor under a Project Partnership Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be required to convey a conservation easement in such land.
