"Written documentation should be maintained in standardized format on all design-related information for the project. Planning design documentation should cover the project objectives and the studies made to locate, size, classify as to potential hazard, and select the type of dam and auxiliary facilities. Site investigation documentation should cover geologic mapping and studies made of the geologic and geotechnical explorations and conditions for the various dam sites considered and the detailed investigations for the chosen site. Geological, seismological, and geotechnical features and considerations, whether specifically identified during the investigation, interpretations from the data and experience at other sites, or suspected by experienced personnel, should be fully documented. Design documentation should include all design criteria, data and qualitative information, assumptions, analyses and computations, studies on discarded alternatives, and derived judgments and decisions. As-built drawings should be prepared as facilities are completed, and should be made availableto operation and maintenance personnel and to the dam inspection staff." [1]
