There are not supposed to be trees on emergency spillways. Not even bushes. They are supposed to be cut out each year. If not done, it can cause failure of the dam when water flows over it. Uprooting trees is not good on the side of a dam. It weakens them and uncovers a weak spot for the water to continue washing away. Sounds like someone was not doing the maintenance they should have done.

How can the state of California afford to maintain its dams when it has illegal aliens to support?

The spillway is 3000 feet long and the last inspection was done from one end with eyeballs, and then deemed to be in proper repair. Gundecking SOB has a problem now!!!
