California Dams Lagging Behind Inspection Schedules
A lot of California’s aging dams are falling behind on inspections and may be operating without an emergency action plan. The marina at Lake Success has rarely been higher than it is this winter, but what’s good for business may be a white knuckle moment for people living downstream. The lake is about as high as its been in a decade and the National Inventory of Dams shows Success Dam hasn’t been inspected since September 2013.
