3 Chapter R1 Introduction to Risk-Informed Decision Making R.1.1 Introduction to Risk-Informed Decision Making Engineering Guidelines This chapter introduces the Risk-Informed Decision Making Engineering Guidelines (RIDM EGs) that will be used to analyze and assess the risk associated with FERCregulated dams. For the foreseeable future the FERC will maintain both the existing, deterministic, Engineering Guidelines and these RIDM Guidelines. In the near term the RIDM Guidelines will be used on an exception basis where either a licensee may request to utilize a RIDM approach or the FERC may suggest that a RIDM approach be considered. Over time the RIDM approach may become the standard of practice with the deterministic Guidelines then being used either on an exception basis or for dams with very low consequences. In general, the RIDM EGs do not address methods for conducting stability analyses or reproduce other parts of the deterministic guidelines. The RIDM EGs focus on how to use the information from deterministic analyses along with probability-based analysis tools. The decision-making process in RIDM is different than that used with deterministic methods. The decision-making aspects are discussed in the Risk Analysis and Risk Assessment Chapters, R24 through R28, Risk Analysis, Probability and Uncertainty, Risk Facilitation, Risk Assessment, and Consequence Assessment. The chapters in this RIDM EG provide guidance on how to: Clearly define the purpose and scope of the risk analysis and risk assessment Clearly define the dam system, i.e., all parts that contribute to risk, in order to develop a risk model. Conduct/refine the Potential Failure Mode Analysis (PFMA) to a level needed for the quantification of the risk. Develop probabilistic (or likelihood) estimates of loading. Estimate the probability or likelihood of dam failure given these loadings. Estimate the consequence of failure, both probable life loss and economic losses, Identify other consequences including possible environmental damages. Combine these estimates in a risk analysis into an estimate of the risk for each dam. Assess the risk at a dam to determine whether the risk is tolerable or if there is a need for risk reduction measures, including dam safety modifications. If needed, analyze risk reduction alternatives and justify potential dam safety modifications by making the case for these actions. Identify the urgency and priority of dam safety risk reduction actions. Incorporate a periodic review of the analyses and assessment for each dam as part of the overall FERC Dam Safety Program. Chapter R1, Risk-Informed Decision Making Draft
4 R.1.2 Risk Management of Dams Managing the risks associated with a dam or a portfolio of dams involves three distinct stages. These stages, each having their own purpose and function, are: Risk Analysis (including a PFMA) Risk Assessment Risk-Informed Decision Making In simplistic terms qualitative or quantitative risk analysis generates numbers associated with the risk of dam failure or uncontrolled release of the reservoir. Risk assessment is the process of determining what the numbers mean. Risk-informed decision making is the process of determining what, if anything, should be done to reduce the risk and how the risk should be managed in the long-term. More technical definitions can be found in Chapter R2. Dam safety risk management includes recurring and non-recurring activities and is the umbrella under which risk is used to inform decisions by owners and regulators. Risk communication, is also a critical part of each component of risk management. The nonrecurring parts of the Risk Management process are outlined in Figure 1 below. As described above, there are three stages in the process; the PFMA, Risk Analysis and, Risk Assessment, with risk-informed decisions being included under the Risk Assessment stage of the figure. The PFMA process is detailed in Chapter R3. The Risk Analysis and Risk Assessment processes are further discussed below and in Chapters R24 and R27. The other chapters, listed in Appendix A, describe procedures for developing risk estimates including consequences. R.1.3 Risk Analysis Risk analysis is defined as a qualitative or quantitative procedure that identifies potential modes of failure and the conditions and events that must take place for failure to occur. A quantitative risk analysis yields a numerical estimate of the risk of adverse consequence, multiplying the probability of load times the probability of dam failure given the load times the magnitude of adverse consequence given dam failure.

6 Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) is a method that has many benefits in identifying and resolving dam safety issues including: Better understanding of the Potential Failure Modes (PFMs) Identification of previously unidentified PFMs Consideration of a full spectrum of potential consequences (not just High, Significant, Low Hazard) Explicit accounting of both life loss and economic consequences Explicit accounting of the probability of failure across the full range of PFMs Explicit accounting for uncertainty in the analyses Identifying critical systems and components R.1.4 Risk Assessment Risk assessment is the process of considering the quantitative or qualitative estimate of risk (the risk analysis), along with all significant related social, environmental, cost, temporal, and other factors to determine a recommended course of action to mitigate the risks or conclude that the risk is tolerable. Risk Assessment benefits include: Identifying potential risk reduction measures if needed Focusing surveillance and monitoring programs Improving emergency action plans (EAPs) Prioritizing resources both within a dam safety program and at a licensees Corporate level Improving communication with the public and other stakeholders. R.1.5 Required Steps to Proceed with a RIDM Based Approach to Dam Safety To proceed with a RIDM approach to dam safety the following initial steps should be followed. These steps ensure that all parties are fully informed and that the appropriate level of expertise is applied. 1. Attendance at FERC sponsored RIDM training programs. 2. Selection of an experienced risk analysis facilitator approved by the FERC. 3. FERC staff participation in working and formal RIDM meetings. 4. Selection and use of appropriate technical consultants with experience in risk analysis and/or probabilistic hazard analyses. 5. Completion of appropriate data collection for use in a comprehensive RIDM analysis. Chapter R1, Risk-Informed Decision Making Draft
7 6. Perform an External Peer Review by an engineer with experience in RIDM related to dams. 7. Preparation of a RIDM report signed and stamped by a Registered Professional Engineer. Chapter R1, Risk-Informed Decision Making Draft
