“Oregon Gulch” - because they didn’t want it to be named “Croyle Canyon”. :)
Maybe the ought to run those large (6 foot diameter?) pipes all the way up to the dike and install some big valves at the top so that, instead of eroding more of the hillside, they can actually spill a few thousand CFS through the pipes to the river below.
Stated half-humerously. :)
Actually, Mark W. Cowin was director of DWR from 2010 through 2016 when there appears to have been systemic disregard for what appears to have been alarming problems needing to be addressed. Looks like Croyle inherited this mess a few months ago at least as head of DWR.
Maybe “Cowin Canyon” would have been good.
