Oroville dam spillway work. Posted today.

Thanks for posting! I have been watching this closely. We have a lot of dams in Washington and this is everybody's nightmare.
 
Commentary is by Juan Browne, a local friend from a second gen family.
I wonder what the repair costs will be to keep the dam together? Estimates are already at $150M, which often doubles.
 
Very interesting. Guess the damage was worse than what I was seeing on the news. Thanks for sharing and hopefully the repairs will fix things. jd
 
Interesting he's a family friend. He seems to have some pretty good sources. Yeah, the damage is worse than I thought every new view I see. I wonder if when the repairs are all done it won't be (likely) more expensive than had they built a proper spillway for the emergency spillway way back in the beginning. Almost makes me wish I was a heavy equipment operator.
