The famous Lake Berryessa "Glory Hole" (and no, noTroll, it is not to be confused with your type, with the same name) is a new concept in spillway construction. When the lake reaches a predetermined level, the water simply spills into concrete hole which extends under the dam and empties into the after-bay. It appears that the Engineers of the Oroville dam were too busy attending one of the harebrained Jerry "Captain Moonbeam" Brown seminars on how to screw the taxpayer without fear of reprisal. It has been very busy spilling excess water this year, for the first time in many years, and is a welcome sight to the water starved Californians. Too bad our State Engineering wizards are still stuck in the mostly earthen dam construction method of the stone age. On the other hand, they do have an almost unlimited amount of tax payers to finance their screw ups. |

But most importantly, your trailer park serves as the "Glory Hole" for the swage lagoon that surrounds it. When **** creek runs high, the excess runs into your lagoon and when that fills, well, trailer start to float. |

Troll, I didn't really think that you had anything intelligent to contribute other than your trite and blatantly dull and repetitive regurgitations of "trailer park" word salad. I do commend you, though, for recognizing what a "Glory Hole" was. I'm sure it has a different connotation in the land of "Deliverance Reenactments". |

*** You ignorant hillbilly ... the Berryessa Dam was built around the same time as the Oroville Dan, you clueless moron: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monticello_Dam So much for the Engineering Concept not having been invented yet, you cave dwelling rutabaga. |

You are such a total turd. ".....built around the same time...." means nothing with respect to the timing of final design and project approval. Your engineering skills being limited to the insertion of two D cells into a flashlight, don't suggest that you even know that Oroville could utilize that concept. Not even Trump would tweet out **** like that. |

Furthermore the embankment dam follow the land's move This is the spillway in concrete which broke, not the dam. |

Typically the engineers thought, "I'll be long gone off this project before this shoddy overflow spillway ever gets used." Double-A |
