The workshop was <br />geared towards owners and operators. The Elk River Dam is one of 23 dams in Minnesota <br />regulated by the State and is classified as High Hazard (Class I). A dam may be classified as <br />high hazard if there is the potential for any loss of life or serious hazards, or damage to health, <br />main highways, high -value industrial or commercial properties, major public utilities, or serious <br />direct or indirect economic loss to the public. The workshop was very informative and allowed <br />me to introduce myself to the State regulators. The 2013 budget will include the expense of <br />updating our Emergency Action Plan (EAP). <br />Attached is a letter from the International Visitor Leadership Program Manager with the <br />Minnesota International Center thanking the City of Elk River and "Energy City" for hospitality <br />and tours. <br />R$ Page lofl P A A E R E I B t <br />Reliable Public `�IAiURE <br />Power Pm Ider Powrnro To Srxvr <br />
