Cross - what I have read is that core samples showed that bedrock begins 30' below the emergency spillway. It is expected that erosion would undercut the concrete apron to that point in short order, but then stop or be significantly slowed.
I should have worded it differently. Just saying that the auxiliary is connected to the dam, which some said it isn't. Sure it's not part of the concrete dam, but an earthen dam is still a dam.
And as such, from the day it is constructed it is looking for a chance to fail (although not with the fervor of a levee).
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
