Better View of Terracing of Hillside (West View) - Shotcrete Completion View

Full View of the Shotcrete apron recently finished before the next spillway release. Second image reveals the slope angle of the recent terracing of the west side of the spillway wall hillside.

DWR is still doing a great job of "hiding" any photo angle that shows the optical target on the Left Spillway Sidewall. These photos are in the 22 to 32 MegaByte (yes MegaByte) sizes. Thus, a good zoom on the optical target could reveal any offset of the precision black and white stripes.

This is very revealing as it is strong evidence that DWR is doing everything to hide any scrap of evidence of information they don't want revealed - while at the same time indirectly/directly re-inforcing the atmosphere of non-transparency.

Thanks for the continued updates. I see that they’ve added new photographs to the series.

I’m glad that they’re using shotcrete to strengthen/build out the ramp area between the end of the spillway and the plunge pool. I thought that they would have done something like this the first time the spillway was shut down, but perhaps they were unsure as to how it would hold up (perhaps that small amount they put onto the slope the first time was a test).

Yeah, they are avoiding showing any evidence that would provide evidence of further damage or of steps they’ve taken to mitigate such damage. It’s too bad - it is interesting and has been a learning experience for me and undoubtedly countless others that have read about it here and elsewhere.

New Rock Bolt Fix in Upper Spillway? - Turbulence revealed in spot during startup - new DWR Drone footage capture

Possible New Rock Bolt Anchor installed in a location in the Upper Main Spillway. Turbulence reveals a "protrusion" of an object that is persistent during the flow. Notice the turbulence the other lower section Rock Bolts create from a higher velocity downslope flow. It's the same type of turbulence signature.
