Hi Repeal the 17th,
Greetings. Happy New year. I haven't spoken much on the new IFT report. Let's say that the independent forensic team (originators) on this report were very diplomatic. However, there is deeper information that, if revealed, can create a big stink bomb.
IF this info were to be made public, it could affect the integrity of the IFT report (either someone missed important docs or ?). It pertains to Fig A-30 (Appendix A) and pages in Appendix G.
For those who may be interested...
In the link posted by KC Burke at reply #4464,
Figure A-30 is found on page 141 of 584,
and Appendix G begins on page 407 of 584.
ER333,
I know you are zeroing in on something very specific and I am sure it is telling. What I get is general understanding.
This spillway had the above drain slab thinning showing evident cracking related to it before it even finished the original construction. The repairs during the life prior to the 2017 failures were ineffectually conceived and managed by California DWR.
We now have had the catastrophic events of last year putting the public at terrible risk, we have seen California DWR spend a half a Billion dollars and we have significant cracks even before the spillway is completed. While the above drain thinning is not repeated, all of the problems are repeated. Cracks, joints that won’t work as conceived and a very short life expectancy with sudden failure at an unimaginable time window sometime in the future.
People hired for their political bent and managed by same will produce similar results elsewhere in the state and nation.
