I wonder if the bolt was installed slightly off angle. They might have been hurrying to get the last few in, and they were operating the drilling rig on a fairly steep slope towards the bottom of the spillway.

Something to watch for certain.

I guess you more-or-less answered my post before I sent it. :)

"They might have been hurrying to get the last few in.."

This one was emplaced in the middle of the drilling repair process.

The extra mortar on the spillway may have been from excessive pressurized mortar "back ejection" from a second attempt at an angled re-drill. If there are any "drill experts" out there, chime in... this may be part of why the image was pulled from the gallery (i.e. revealed a bit more to the situation).
