Seven 'Unsafe' Dams Listed In 'High Risk' Category

BALTIMORE --

Some Maryland dams are not as safe as they should be.

Engineers design dams for

the most extreme conditions possible. Four days of downpours caused an Earthen

dam in Hawaii to burst last March, sweeping away seven people and two houses.

Last October, a wooden dam

buckled under pressure of heavy rain in Taunton, Mass., forcing the evacuation

of 50,000 people.  

Until catastrophe strikes,

many people consider dams out of sight and out of mind -- and that's no

exception in Maryland. Five state engineers are responsible

for inspecting some 358 dams

statewide.
