Someone suggested the possibility of just starting over on a new spillway next to this one which would be used until the new one is finished. At some point, maybe the cost and possible further risk of properly fixing the damage/design/construction errors on this spillway may justify spending resources on a new one altogether.
Starting over on a new one makes sense to me.
Even if repairing the existing spillway is feasible, which I doubt, there’s a good chance they’d end up behind schedule.
Anybody want to take that chance?
I believe in the next few weeks, DWR is planning on announcing details in the Main Spillway reconstruction mitigation (in phases). This should tip their hand in what they may be thinking for the future.
btw- They will need Nature/God to cooperate. But they already have this covered: :-)
