I recently had the chance to review the NDA issued to DWR employees, that they must sign, before being hired and the one that is issued to contractor employees. Both are detailed and contain very specific remedies and invoke a long litany of penalties for violation. Reminds me of the one most people with clearances sign when exiting the military. Point is that unless and until this group obtains status as a journalistic or a law firm I don’t believe a whistleblower status will stand for an NDA covered individual that gives them some information. There is also an active program within DWR to report your concerns about safety etc to your supervisor or an 800 number. Clearly an attempt to contain leaks.
The damage control and political containment is in full effect.
ER333, I also have pointed a few people in the water business to your work here. Two have told me that they are “very concerned” about the deficiencies you have found.
I hope you have already started your book regarding this disaster and are copywriting the material you can.
Outstanding effort on your part.
