I wonder how secure our dams are in Canada

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

What to know about California's failing Oroville Dam

Nearby towns have been evacuated affecting almost 200,000 people

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

Environmental groups predicted Oroville emergency spillway erosion in 2005 court document

Crisis at Oroville dam was 'new, never-happened-before event,' top official says

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.
