I've read where they have been having problems with the spillway since 2006. Here is a pic from 2013. No money was appropriated to fix it right.

That’s where the big hole is now.

High speed rails to nowhere are much more important than this!

Seriously, had the normal spillway been intact, this problem may not have happened because they'd have controlled the river level with it properly without the failure and subsequent erosion that occurred halfway down the hill.

Looks like right about where it failed.

I would have thought Obama’s Stimulus would have taken care of the repairs.

Looks like a shovel ready job to me.

I sure hope the Teacher’s Unions used the Stimulus money wisely.

Good find, Karl

photo, meet Jerry Brown's desk. Gov Brown, please explain in detail what happened to all those general and water district taxes and government grants to the state - that are supposed to pay for the maintenance of our dams?
