They’ll probably set up the batch plant adjacent to the pile of rock and concrete they dug up from the riverbed. From there, they’ll set up a belt conveyor over to Moonbeam Canyon. As the mix is placed, dozers will spread and rollers will compact. The RCC will be a “hardened fill.”

Once the canyon is filled, then a conventional slab spillway will be built atop the concrete fill.

That’s my guess.

LOL - I laugh every time I see "moonbeam canyon".

Let's hope that the conventional slab is about twice as thick as the broken one, and with a lot more rebar and anchoring.
