Appendix C (Emergency Operations and Repair Subplan) specifies the emergency operations to be implemented and repairs to be considered upon 'flood warning condition'and 'emergency condition' declarations for cases of high reservoir level, excess seepage/internal drainage system malfunction, spillway discharges and dam failure. Appendix D (Notification Subplan) specifies notifications and other actions upon 'flood warning condition' and 'emergency condition' declarations, coordinated among the Corps of Engineers, National Weather Service, and state and local agencies.
