A means of draining the lake completely will be provided. <br /> The Division of Highways approval is limited to the use of the dam <br /> as a roadway and is in no way intended as approval of the embankment as an <br /> impoundment structure. <br /> Also, if the section of roadway crossing a dam is accepted as a part. <br /> of the State Maintenance System, the maintenance of this roadway is limited <br /> to the shoulder point to shoulder point area only. Responsibility for the <br /> impoundment, any damage that may result therefrom, and maintenance of the dam <br /> or appurtenances as may be required to preserve:its integrity as a water im- <br /> poundment structure shall remain with the owner of the impoundment. Any such <br /> maintenance work will be subject. to the provisions of G. S. 136-93. <br /> If the developer satisfied the requirements for a roadway section <br /> located on a din,-the section of road below this dam will be eligible to be <br /> added to the System of maintained roads if it is constructed in accordance <br /> with the Department of Transportation's minimum construction standards as out- <br /> lined in the Subdivision Manual, May 1, 1983, (right of way, pavement design, <br /> minimum housing requirement, etc.). <br /> Of course, if the developer desired to add the road on the other side <br /> of the bridge to the System of maintained roads, then the bridge will have to <br /> meet the following criteria: <br /> 1.
