On November 9 DHEC announced that the agency had received a response from owners of 42 of the 75 dams subject to emergency orders.  Some 24 other dam owners have failed to submit a response by the required deadline, leading DHEC to issue a Notice of Violation, which is the first step in an enforcement action against the dam owner. DHEC’s [website](https://www.dhec.sc.gov/HomeAndEnvironment/DisasterPreparedness/FloodUpdates/) offers extensive information about the dams surveyed, those that failed during the flooding, and which dams are subject to emergency orders or have been identified for repair or maintenance.
