Dworshak Dam wins 'potentially unsafe' rating

[Grey Ghost of Lenore]

You know, it don't matter if we get wet or flushed down the big muddy...one thing holds true, we won't know what its' like till it happens. Got the innertubes ready and just waiting for the sirens to blow the whistle for the onslought of 'more water' to contend with.

dworshak crack and leak was found in the 70's its nothing new.

If we loose the dams the economy of the quad cities and the paloose will be devistated--
the lake exsist because of the dams. almost every job tied to the port and shipping will be lost. The river just isn't deep enough without the dam's How many people remember when they drew down the river to close to its old self what it did to the roads-and the sticky smelly mud .
I do admit that the snake and clear water were beautiful before the damns with its sandy beaches trees, rattle snakes and fewer people.

now I wonder why no one suggest we clean up the snake an the clear water river--tighten controls on what can be dumped in the river--I bet the fish ,the wild life and the people would be better off and we could keep the damns

I can live without the dam, How bout you?

yeah, only people who have stock in the power companies are the ones who don't want to lose the damn dam at any cost, thats why the rates keep crusing upward, and the spare parts keep getting trucked to other damn dams' down river.
I live in downtown OROFINO, and even here,* if the damn dam breaks, won't be safe. With 54 miles of backed up water, and 400-600 ft deep of water, oh thats alot of force, the water is predicted to reach past Greer.(if and when it happens) WHO KNOWS? But it is an ugly site where the water fluctuates, surprised the flippin corp don't maintain the water level at half pool, and plant some cedar trees to cover the erosion, but then, the corp is responsible for millions of acres of clearcuts, and what is more commonly known as
'global warming' than all the factories in the USA combined. Operation Banana Belt, a project in the Pacific Northwest that was designed to warm the temperature by more than 10 degrees. it did, now the corp don't know how to put the operation in reverse. Potlatch corp is another guilty party contributing to 'global warming' also. Their logging practices are worse than they were in the 70's. and the waste! WHERE ARE THE PORTABLE CHIPPERS?

[CMofGRMN]

Don't tell me the Corps. STILL haven't fixed the Dam's problems!!! Or can they even fix it? This is still scary. Just HOPE they can get everbody out of Orofino, etc. before it does breach. I'm sure there would be a warning of some kind. Keep a NOAA weather radio on you.
