I’d almost consider building a new spillway to the left of the main spillway, completely from top to bottom, while keeping the present main spillway in service. It’s a large proposition, but this one might not be salvageable as is. Even if the gates are in good shape, they will need to build so much of it that it might as well be a top-to-bottom job. I think the cost will be a couple of hundred million dollars though.
If you were going to add an additional set of gates that will add almost a year. I think they have to have this puppy back to the bowl about five months from June 30.
No big project in Kalifornia gets done for $200 million. This will be an $800 million deal before they are done with it. Might even crack a billion.
