That is so sad, Lacour. I'm sorry.

The dam has been around since 1968 and the additional spillways have never been used.. you don't plan for 1,000-year events. You react to them.

Let's just say I am involved in the structural aspect of engineering projects. I am well aware of the time frames used.

My point in saying that is that you don't create an auxiliary spillway that "will never be used". That's the definition of negligence. There's a lot of engineers that have appeared on the wrong side of a jury for exactly that sort of decision.

But that's on the design end of things, not the maintenance side.

So far, rain hasn't posed much threat at all.

Current
849.43 water level (901 tops Espillway)
2,800,712 acre feet of water
59,685 outflow through spillway
45,518 inflow from rain
