The inspection shall take place every third year from the date of completion of a new dam or every third year from the determination of a normal level for an existing dam.

If a report discloses a need for repairs or a change in condition of the dam that relates to the dam's safety or danger to natural resources, the department shall conduct an inspection to confirm the report.

An expenditure of more than $10,000.00 annually shall be approved by resolution of the county board.
