Just to indicate the level of genius maintenance used at that dam here is a picture for you.
See the emergency auxiliary spill way had been allowed to grow over. It was decided that the trees had to be cleared to prevent them from being washed down the river. That was followed up by rift raft being dumped in and cement pump trucks pumping cement at the base of the auxiliary spillway. I took that as either indication that they decided the spillway was either not built right to begin with or they felt they made a booboo that was going to cause it to erode. Remember all of this happened before the first drop topped over. I would hate to know I had to do all that to a spill way before it could be put in use on my property.
