AND SO THE LAWSUITS BEGIN

by Bob Walsh

The first law suit (as far as I know) over actual damages has just been filed against the DWR over damages caused by the catastrophic failure of the main spillway at the Oroville dam. The plaintiff is a major grower in the area downstream from the dam and alleges damages to their property caused by the poor design, shoddy installation and piss-poor maintenance of the dam.

If the independent reports on the spillway failure are to be believed, they may very possibly have a case.
