Well, I'll be dammed! I figured it'd be "Fiends of the River," (no, wait... Friends of the River, Inc.) instead of this little known bunch trying to get support from the big corporate developers of whitewater rafting in CA!!!

The pictures look like it's an earthen dam with a cement cap over it for erosion.

Don't they know they have to exterminate those wild earth boaring creatures before they build a dam.
