Once again,....SMALL beer within the context of the geo-morphology of that "ridge".

Calling that crap, "Bedrock" is a travesty,...

Kinda doubt that any of what we are seeing under the aux is bedrock - yet. I know that the other end of the dam is very much against solid bedrock. Seen it from the inside. Supposedly, they took core samples on the spillway side, but I have no idea how extensive or complete to information that provided. I don't think I;d want to lay all my hopes on erosion stopping at 30' - but that seems to be the accepted wisdom there.

Interesting propaganda video here....
