“It is important to recognize that during a rare event with the emergency spillway flowing at its design capacity, spillway operations would not affect reservoir control or endanger the dam,” wrote John Onderdonk, a senior civil engineer with FERC, in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s San Francisco Office, in a July 27, 2006, memo to his managers.
“The emergency spillway meets FERC’s engineering guidelines for an emergency spillway,” he added. “The guidelines specify that during a rare flood event, it is acceptable for the emergency spillway to sustain significant damage.”
“We said ‘are you really sure that running all this water over the emergency spillway won’t cause the spillway to fail?'” said Ron Stork, policy director with Friends of the River, a Sacramento environmental group that filed the motions in 2005. “They tried to be as evasive as possible. It would have cost money to build a proper concrete spillway.”
A filing on May 26, 2006, by Thomas Berliner, an attorney for the State Water Contractors, and Douglas Adamson, an attorney for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, discounted the risk. It urged FERC to reject the request to require that the emergency spillway be armored, a job that would have cost tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars.
“The emergency spillway was designed to safely convey the Probable Maximum Flood, and DWR has reviewed and confirmed the efficacy of the PMF hydrologic analysis for Oroville Reservoir,” the attorneys noted.
Ultimately, they were successful. FERC did not require the state to upgrade the emergency spillway.
Monker wrote:Hey, nimrod, want to know why the Oroville dam is leaking? Because state officials back in 2005 said it didn't need an upgrade. A bunch of organizations said the dam needed a concrete exostructure built over the existing one and did everything short of float down a river on mattresses like Bugs Bunny to show them. Not necessary. At the time, Ahnuld was the Guv'nor. Ahnuld is a Republican. Gray Davis was removed as a result of the recall election. You can't blame Democrats or anyone else this time. And it has nothing to do with "spending billions on illegals."

Isn't the Army Corp of Engineers responsible for the maintenence of the dam...which is a federal agency, not state? They would request the funding for a project and it would be up to state and/or federal governments to fund the project.

Just heard that the California High Speed Rail project started as a $30 Billion project, it is now projected to cost $80 Billion and is years away from completion. Waste, waste, waste.
According to the news tonight, the Damn is State owned and operated, not Federal.

Yeah...
And the USACE are the ones who perform maintenence on the dams. They are in charge of maintaining the national waterways, which includes the dams. "waterways" can cross multiple states and are therefore a federal issue.
This dam must use hydro power to generate electricity. FERC obviously regulates that and proposed the upkeep on the dam. But,the state AND FEDERAL government denied to fund that proposal.
So, neither Arnold nor W would fund the proposed changes That is what happened, obviously.
Asusual, like a liberal, you left out 8 years of "O".

Mr. Blake, because he has nuts in his mouth or on his forhead does not mean he has them himself. But your use of "other team" is something I'm sure he'll understand.
