As long as the fox is in charge of the hen house I do not expect any real effort to fix/repair any issues with this dam or others. Remember it was " safe " a few years back for a few more years, spend the $$ on something else first, we will patch it up.

Well, all of the construction companies got rich and there's no accountability for anyone else, so...Eff you taxpayers!
Kind of like the bullet-train-to-nowhere. Politicians just say "oh well' and keep adding money to their accounts. If they actually went to prison for wasting our money and lying, then something might change. But, no. Nothing happens.

I couldn't find much about Cahill beyond his own web site and something a couple years old. Legend in his own mind? Don't know what his actual experience and training amount to.

Well,,,,it is after all a government run, union project with almost zero control since it done in a panic !
Geriatric Clown just started throwing money at it and garbage nescum will most likely do the same thing as long as the unions keep feeding the politician's pocket ! Until some control is taken back by the REAL CITIZENS OF CALIFORNIA,,,,,nothing will change ! |

I know very little about it, but have seen several different places reference Scott Cahill as a sensationalist dummy.
I don't trust DWR at ALL, and the budget overrun was expected, but I'm wary of believing some random yahoo also. |

The original had no rebar installed in it. Big problem. From what I have heard, the replacement spillway has rebar. Not so sure on the emergency spillway. I think they were just trying to fill it back in and then cover with concrete to minimize erosion

That's incorrect.
See the Juan Browne video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf47yW4Wh-Q , at about 4:44 and 4:54 - rebar clearly visible.

I stand corrected but I also agree with Dutch3 that it was minimal rebar and although the sides had better rebar, the majority of the slab has some rebar and anchor studs but it is very minimal, not even enough to support it as the excavator broke it up.

There is easily 100x more steel in the new deck than there was in the old one.
