dam building
Art. 2 (VIII) of Ordinance 95/2022, which is currently in force, defines a de-characterized dam as a "structure that permanently does not receive the input of tailings and/or sediments from its final activity, which no longer has the characteristics or performs the functions of a dam […]"
The English version seems to be a previous translation from Portuguese (Brazil) in English so that the term might be wrong in the English version. Any ideas?

Comment: "Danke Zea! Tatsächlich war es wohl eine dürftig redigierte Maschinenübersetzung aus dem Portugisischen in Englische, die mir als Übersetzungsaufgabe gestellt wurde. Tatsächlich passt diese Übersetzung aber mit dem Kontext am Ehesten überein."

Decharakterisierter Damm
The term "de-characterized dam" translates to "Decharakterisierter Damm" in German because it accurately conveys the meaning of a structure that no longer functions as a dam. Examples: "Der decharakterisierte Damm wurde nicht mehr zur Ableitung von Sedimenten genutzt" (The de-characterized dam was no longer used to divert sediments) or "Nachdem der Damm decharakterisiert wurde, ist er nicht mehr in Betrieb" (After the dam was de-characterized, it is no longer in operation).

entwidmeter (Stau-)Damm
Als „Widmung“ wird ein Rechtsakt bezeichnet, welcher aus einer Sache eine öffentliche Sache macht. Mit der Widmung wird erklärt, dass die betreffende Sache einem bestimmten öffentlichen Zweck dienen soll.
"Entwidmung" bedeutet zunächst die Aufhebung der Zweckbestimmung.
Vielleicht lässt sich mit diesem Begriff aus dem Baurecht etwas anfangen?

Note from asker:
| Die Entwidmung ist aber tatsächlich ein verwaltungsrechtlicher Vorgang, der auch die offiziellen und behördlichen Zuständigkeiten beeinflusst. Das ist deshalb an dieser Stelle nicht die zutreffende Übersetzung. |

Quite honestly, this is the wrong to go about it. It's a good thing you told us where the original document is from. Here's an article about new dam safety rules in Brazil:
https://www.synergiaconsultoria.com.br/en/fique-por-dentro/n...
It links to the actual piece of legislation (available in Portuguese only):
"Barragem de mineração descaracterizada: estrutura que não recebe, permanentemente, aporte de rejeitos e/ou sedimentos oriundos de sua atividade fim, a qual deixa de possuir características ou de exercer função de barragem, de acordo com projeto técnico, compreendendo, mas não se limitando, às seguintes etapas concluídas:
a) Descomissionamento: encerramento das operações com a remoção das infraestruturas associadas, tais como, mas não se limitando: a espigotes e tubulações, exceto aquelas destinadas à garantia da segurança da estrutura;
b) Controle hidrológico e hidrogeológico: adoção de medidas efetivas para reduzir ou eliminar o aporte de águas superficiais e subterrâneas para o reservatório, bem como a redução controlada da linha freática no interior do reservatório;
c) Estabilização: execução de medidas tomadas para garantir a estabilidade física e química de longo prazo das estruturas que permanecerem no local; e
d) Monitoramento: acompanhamento pelo período mínimo de 2 (dois) anos após a conclusão das obras de descaracterização, objetivando assegurar a eficácia das medidas de estabilização."

See part in bold. Unfortunately, the English definition seems to have been plucked from Google Translate; like ChatGPT's suggestion, it's probably useless.
"Barragem de mineração" must be "mining dam"; "descaracterizada" is basically the only word you still need to translate. I'd urge you to ask this question in the PT>DE forum, not here. According to this old PRoZ question, it could be disqualify, reclassify, or simply change of status, albeit in a financial context:

The word is ProZ, of course; got too many things on my mind right now.
