I emailed the Center for Catastrophic Risk Management at UC Berkeley about this and got the following response (quoted verbatim from the email I received):
Content from external source

Hi Aron Z,

Rune Storesund (ccd this email) forwarded your email to me.

you are correct about the source of the photographs you cited. i obtained these from the metabunk forum web site.

due to limitations on the time i could devote to producing my preliminary report (all done pro-bono), i was not able to cite the many sources i used to obtain the photographic documentation included in the report.

i found the metabunk forum web site to be very useful in helping me develop a basic understanding of how and why the spillway failures developed. i would appreciate it if you could communicate my apology and reason for not citing the metabunk source for the photographs you cited.

I wonder if Professor Bea is taking note of the seepage on the Dam itself pointed out here also

I haven’t see it mentioned any where else but here
