from looking at it they tried to run all that water over the top of the dam (soil) as the primary spillway. thats way to much water to do that. They also didn't core the dam and the material they used was questionable at best. lots of organtics and rocks in what i have inspected so far. putting all that togeather that makes me question their ability to constuct a legitimate dam. my guess is was someone who rented or borrowed some equipment and thought it sounded fun to build a dam, without the knowlege to do so.

Thanks,
