Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed Then go backwards and read page 181, 180, just for anything that is 2019. It started back in 2017. The water appears to be seeping under the gates where the lip of the spillway hits the gates. There also is a slab up lower probably from water under the spillway. That puzzles me because they supposedly anchored it very well into bedrock. The main takeaway is that they are not saying what is really going on, whatever that is, and if you live below the dam, don't expect the truth. |

Then go backwards and read page 181, 180, just for anything that is 2019. It started back in 2017. The water appears to be seeping under the gates where the lip of the spillway hits the gates.

Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed from #7230 On the west side of the emergency spillway where the water flowed and took out everything in it's path is all now cemented over. I bet anything that the water is coming underneath that emergency spillway and seeping underneath that newly laid RCC. I had workers telling me this way back in 2017, and I saw pictures of it that they took on their phones. If they would have been caught taking pictures, they would have been fired. Some did get fired early in the spillway being replaced for taking pictures. |

Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed FEMA Details Why It Rejected State's Request for Oroville Spillway Funds Mar 20 Updated 7:15 a.m. Wednesday, March 20 Federal emergency relief officials have provided new details on their decision to reject California's request to reimburse the state for work to rebuild and reinforce the badly damaged spillways at Oroville Dam. The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced earlier this month that it would not reimburse the state for $306 million in construction on the spillways, which failed in February 2017 and prompted mandatory evacuation orders for 188,000 people living downstream of the nation's tallest dam. In a brief statement March 8, a FEMA spokesperson said the agency was refusing to reimburse the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for work on the upper portion of the dam's main concrete spillway. The agency said the decision was based on earlier engineering reviews that found "a variety of problems existed at the dam" before the sequence of events that led to the spillway crisis. . .

It would make some sense that for good reasons they might have planned in the 60s to have a built in demolition mechanism in case it became necessary to tear down the dam for some reason. Say an earthquake cracked it during low waters, and they thought it was better to bring it down, than let it fill and burst when high. They did know they were near fault lines.

Scott Cahill said the water going down the hill was not an immediate problem ie, it wasn't cutting back through the bedrock to the dam. It did cause a debris pile that affected the power plant when water backed up, but it wasn't life threatening. On the other hand, if a gate with a broken anchor tendon gets stuck open, the threat of erosion under the gates as the intake channel empties all the way to the bottom of the gates is pretty serious. Cahill said you have to fix the gates first, no debate. But they didn't. We know that there are people who do want to see it all returned to wilderness, despite that fact that it is the greatest agricultural region in the world. Would they spend a billion just to look good, while secretly wanting the dam to fail? It is possible. With some, it is certain. |

Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed Remember Robert Bea from Berkley? The guy who wrote the engineering report? This is 2017, but it hasn't changed. [link to alumni.berkeley.edu (secure)] "There are very serious problems with the headgates [the structures that control water releases from the dam]. There is a lot of corrosion, and there are large cracks in two gate control tendons. Some of the gates don’t even open and close all the way. They’re like refrigerator doors that just stay ajar. Also, we were alarmed by green grass growing on the abutments. That’s because the grass shouldn’t be green in that part of California during the summer and fall. It should be brown, so when you see lush green grass, it indicates there’s seepage through the dam face. What’s particularly worrisome is evidence we found indicating this seepage has been going on for about 50 years. DWR says that it’s just some ‘natural springs,’ and that’s it’s no cause for worry. But a ‘natural spring’ in that area would have to flow uphill, which runs counter to the laws of physics. And understand this: Any seepage through an earth-fill dam is extremely worrisome." |
