Just ignore the haters UH.

I was telling my buddy about the Oroville dam and how it's about to come down soon, as I have several times over the past two years. He got kind of mad at me and said the dam is never coming down, blah blah..

I guess there are two kinds of people, one who believes the official narrative, and the other who is a free thinker (like us).

Any thoughts as to why:

1. The orange cones are blocking off the whole downhill-side lane on the bridge now.

2. There are always puddles of substantial size on the bridge up against the walkway that now no longer even dry up completely in the hot day-time sun.

3. they drilled two massive holes to the left of the bridge only to cover them up with what looks like sheets of plywood.

Also, has anyone heard there is a large horizontally-shooting leak high above the spillway and just under the top of the bridge near that end where they drilled those so-far-unused holes?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77016816


Probably just as I have suggested twice......

The red painted 12'+ crack is worsening....


AND that end of the bridge sits on a ledge 10' across.
I think it was said it is about 10 inches wide

BUT...5" of that has "spalled" or cracked up and broken away.

That area, the east end of the bridge over the gates is labeled "Pier 10"

I believe it is getting worse.....MUCH worse.

This is why they ALL OF A SUDDEN....

Decided to build the "NEW" bridge across the end of the spillway.

Again "Sure would like to see that red painted 12' crack AND the ledge condition today"....

BEFORE it breaks apart and takes out the ENTIRE gate structure!

How many hundreds of tons of concrete and heavy equipment has traveled across that damaged area in the last 2 years?

Isn't the road/headwork's bridge vital to construction vehicle's access?

That weir is at least 50 years old. Is the crack new? Maybe the water underneath is causing pressure pushing up? It shouldn't matter if the lake water level is lower than the crack, it won't cause a breach if the weir cracked in half if the water is lower than the weir. Which it isn't. More likely to have a breach from "pipes" eroding than from a cracked weir.

Speaking of water levels tell my why exactly they didn't get the water down below 813, the bottom of the gates, to have as many months as possible to work on the gates...if they are even fixable. Oh that's right, they want the dam to fail, while in the meantime they siphon off as much money to themselves as possible.

That weir is long like a pencil. Unlike the gate 8 crack this crack looks like it goes all the way across.

I would not be surprised if the weir bursts open right there, today.

But I'm no professional concerning dams. Just concerned for my fellow countrymen.

there is a photo in cyberspace of that 5" spalled area that at 6" causes failure. Might be nice to repost it if somebody can find it. And yes, this is why they suddenly need a new bridge below.

That weir is not secured to the ground. The piezo sensor is a weak point. Stress is wanting to snap that weir and the piezo sensor is the weakest point.
