#1 The emergency release has never been used, and crews are clearing trees and brush if it's needed.

Given the size of the hole, this doesn't sound all that necessary. Unless it's needed to keep the trees and debris from floating downstream and hitting things. Maybe I'm missing something?

#3 If not for the water, it would be an excellent structure.

#4 Wait! What happened to the never ending drought that I was told about due to Gerbil Worming?

#5 CA hasn't built a dam in 30 plus years. In that time the population has doubled, thanks in part to the presence of 1/3 of all the 11-15 million illegals in the whole country. All this water, the liquid bounty that could prevent the drought conditions returning in a year or so, flows into the Pacific. So they are already anticipating water delivery restrictions to agriculture and cities perhaps as early as this year. The state is spending billions on the Bullet Train fiasco and electic car charging stations, but not a dime on water storage or catchment basins. We are governed by idiots and simpletons like Moonbeam.

#6 Mods, the three links URLs at bottom of article need fixing, please remove "rantburg.com" and quotation marks from link URLs.

Doing it manually on my part, the links works.

Thanks

#7 Seeking cure for ignorance, I removed the quotes Fred's icon automatically places around the URL, which fixed the problem for me. Please check to make sure it now works for you as well.

Many thanks for the feedback!
