Funny.... we were just talking about it, "...wonder what's going on out there?"

WHAT!!!?   Is this the dam itself, the spillway or some other part?   I hate it when journalists pull this crap, it creates all kinds of unwarranted speculation and fear.   

So what are we gonna hear next, the dam is breached, and a tidal wave of water just wiped out the whole valley???

Documents (assessments) made SECRET because it's considered *strategic* - no doubt it's strategic to Jerry Brown's POTUS bid.
(...'Mr. Moonbeam... if this ever goes public, the damage to your campaign will be worst than the dam break!)   The way Liberals reason, it would seem.
Truth is, the entire barrier from end to end is considered the dam, the cement portion is considered the "Dam Proper", but any portion that fails is considered dam collapse.
The dam proper is in perfect condition and has never been of issue, the real problem is the earthen fill side of the dam to the North, where they used the end of the gorge, a rock outcropping (for lack of a better description) to complete the dam including the emergency spillway as well as the emergency overflow which was all built on what now appears to have been a mix of granite and decaying serpentine known as Georgetown Jade, the same mineral contains asbestos which explains the decay as well as including heavy amounts of iron, which rusts away all intertwined with clay.

But keep in mind, this was all created with the idea that people would follow the rules laid out by flood expert engineers in the 50s, who drew up their plans with the idea there would be one more full sized dam included in the project, it never was built.

I mentioned the snowpack earlier which is at 200% of normal, which in truth, is of historic normal, they just refuse to acknowledge the Ca cycles on a 10 to 20 year extreme.
Anyway, there is still a chance for warm Spring rains that could bring flood waters down into the valley and completely wipe the dam out, including the dam proper, that is, assuming they don't drop the water level another 100', which is why they're using the emergency spillway, in spite of the damage and threat to the dam itself.

In short, they're in "Controlled Panic" mode and shitting their pants, all because the failed to follow protocol.

But why all the secrecy...? I don't get it. The world knows the dam is in need of repair why not just do the repairs the right way. Without making myself sound stupid..... :ttoung:, I thought maybe the Trump admin give the money to California and Gov. Brown didn't want the world to know Trump is helping out with this cause. Crazy I know.

I would still like to know what is all the secrecy about. Mistakes where made, we all know that. Fix the damn problem. We know it's not an over night fix.

Maybe one dollar goes in the pocket for every three dollars spent on the project. Who the hell knows. But i'm wondering this 2500 miles away what must the people that are directly in the path of this monster must be thinking.
People sleep peacefully at night because there are a few tough men prepared to do violence on their behalf.

A wise man uses it to scratch his balls.

SELL and get the hell out!   Oh wait.... this is California, who knows what fairy-tales are drifting through their marijuana-smoke filled noggins.   ...Jerry Brown is a great man...   Unicorn farts...   Linda Ronstadt is still HOT & Jerry... whatever.

My guess would be a coverup, Jerry found out his dad somehow pocketed money that was supposed to go into building the dam.
Yeah, it was Moonbeams dad that was governor at the time the dam was built and took all the credit for its implementation.
That includes the third dam that was scrapped, so maybe something was uncovered, I have no idea, but these are Marxists were dealing with, so anything is possible.
It is, after all, the first time this old closet has been opened in 50 years and cockroaches hate daylight. :biggrin:

This is not what they want on the snowpack right now.
Oroville is just to the S/E of Redding. (R) On the map
Early rain could melt millions of gallons worth of snow.
