Crane with gripper attachment used to extract Logs and Wood debris collecting at the Spillway Inlet. Waterflow directed this floating debris and has been threatening to be pulled-in and flow through the Radial Gate Inlet structure when reservoir levels drop to the concrete curved Gate Inlet Chutes. This could cause damage to the Radial Gate metal skin plates in addition to the risk of debris jamming in the Radial Gate side seams. The force of a passed through log, then "jumping" from the outlet tail "fins" could also risk an unwanted impact on the spillway concrete chute. Good idea to eliminate these risks. Not sure "item"….I suspect the normal floating log boom is either damaged or may be unable to handle the volume and size of the logs in recent runoffs.
