I wonder how secure our dams are in Canada

Wouldn't want to be in Revelstoke if the Revelstoke Dam ever burst.

Canada's Mica Dam in British Columbia is even taller, at 240 metres.

DWR chief 'not familiar' with conversations surrounding potential spillway problems

Quote:
The Department of Water Resources acting director told reporters Monday that he was "not familiar with 2005 documentation or conversation" surrounding potential spillway problems at Lake Oroville.

That is the documents from story above he is referring to.

I just cant think why this sounds familiar.

Site C- bring it on.
