Point of fact the article is a lie. The valve was not being tested in 2009. Department of Fish & Game, and other fish and wildlife management agencies, that have way to much say and control under abused Endangered Species Act over reach, pressured DWR into opening the safety relieve valve in 2009 for cold water pool release from the lake for migrating fish on the Feather River. It was not a routine or functioning test for operations or dam safety or for any normal operating procedures for dam safety. It was a fish agency action 100% pure and simple. Nearly catastrophic what that article does not state is that the control room that was being flooded in seconds after the concrete wall gave way was the only place to shut the valve off. If the one of the injured workers had not managed to hit the emergency close switch for that valve they all would have drowned, the valve would have stayed open, the lake would have drained with no way to stop it. pure nuts and operational risk for fish in a non emergency situation. Time to end the madness of fish before people, buildings, cities, counties, farms, and the state keeps on electing left wing democrats and liberals letting our infrastructure crumble and letting morons run the show.
I think that a media that ignored this coverup before will have local components that find the story too too too juicy to pass up now. What do you think?
Matt Helm, a great Ametican. Also Donald Hamilton. Imagine he would agree with your people before fish plan. I believe the impending disaster is the ultimate end of the New Left and environmentalism.
