“There are a whole bunch of different options” to repair or replace the main spillway, he said. “Some of them are really interesting.” “

Wow, “finalized within the next two weeks”! I’m impressed.
“ ...“If you have eroded everything that can be eroded, then maybe that’s your new spillway,” he said.”
But I figure they’ll replace the spillway with a bullet water train running straight to the ocean...
Right now, it IS the spillway, or at least 35% of it. :)
I kind of like this guy. I have no idea if he's super-competent, but he has a way with words.
No, no you can’t use my bullet train joke. As I said earlier, if the side canyon gets my new name (Moonbeam Canyon) then I want to backfill that canyon with Bullet Trains -— I expect at least one proper attribution and then you can steal it indefinitely.
