Kroombit–2020/21–i8.2 Emergency activation quick reference The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) for Kroombit Dam covers six dam hazards evaluated within Sunwater’s Dam Safety Management Program. Use the following table to select the relevant section of the EAP that deals with the dam hazard. Note: The Incident Coordinator (IC) is responsible for the decision to activate the EAP. Should the IC be unavailable, the Local Event Coordinator (LEC) or Dam Duty Officer (DDO) is responsible for the decision.
