If you have a moment, please peruse this post below. Why? it immediately gets a person up to speed on what the long thread has already discovered: The upper spillway has serious design flaws. The experts are not sure if the upper spillway is completely safe. On top of this, experts do not believe what is being stated by DWR. Flat out disagreements between DWR and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) fed govt recommended dam experts & other experts outside of DWR.
I can reference specific information* on evidence that completely supports what the FERC recommended dam experts state in items 1-9 in the post below. *i.e. posts, photographs, blueprints, explanations, etc in the long thread.
Thanks for parsing and summarizing. A good update for those of us, who just want a quick summary of what’s happening and a review of the issues/problems. The big thread will become an excellent record of the history, issues in the past and issues now re what not to do.
Don’t know how much rain the catchment area of the lake got yesterday. The northbay got hammered with 1.5 to 3 inches yesterday with most coming down in a short time after 1 pm.
More rain coming early next week.
