For the purpose of determining whether a dam (including the
waters impounded by such dam) constitutes a danger to human life or
property, the Secretary shall take into consideration the
possibility that the dam might be endangered by overtopping,
seepage, settlement, erosion, sediment, cracking, earth movement,
earthquakes, failure of bulkheads, flashboard, gates on conduits,
or other conditions which exist or which might occur in any area in
the vicinity of the dam.
