TRLIA after three years of telling state boards, newspapers , radio stations, the west Linda levee has been certified by the Corps of Engineers and is completed, now started to Flatten the waterside of said levee this week of october, 11, 2009!  TRLIA and many PLumas lake defenders of TRLIAs work denyed any work was needed even though the state Relamation Board had issued, at TRLIAs request, a encroachment permit 18095GM to do the work I and others knew was needed because The State reclamation Board Chief engineer, the Corps of engineers western Division Chief Engineer and Kleinfelder Engineering  firm hired by Yuba Country to determine the condition of  said levee all agreed the work needed done.

Why was the work not done? I asked the State Reclamation board why and they said because TRLIA had not sent in design drawings for the work!  TRLIA had in fact sent in design Drawings for work on the permit for the East linda portion of the permitted levee work, but someone stopped the work on the waterside from being done. Who had that authority? Only the Chairman of TRLIA Richard Webb and Vice Chairman Daniels Logue had that authority! what was  their motive?  the Developer funds and state Fish & Game tax funds were in hand to do the work, what happened?

It was learned after this that TRLIA had not permitted audits of the funds in 2004,05, 06 and 07 and the Multi millions were not transparent to citizens and to this day, still are not.  The state department of audits told me TRLIA would send  audited records of the Money dispersal but since TRLIA would not permit an audit , how could TRLIA send a copy to the State?

The state under the PATERNO Ruling  when they took over the Levees in 1942 became the liable agency because the ruling says any defects or failures are the states fault because it is as though the state built the levees. The state has permitted TRLIA to take them in harms way by letting TRLIA have free rein to do with the levees as they chose, and the failure to costruct needed upgrades on encroachment permits especially when TRLIA sent official letters signed by the County Administrator in 2006,  saying the levee was completed and asking for certification! Further, In 2007, the new county administrator signede a officvial request to the FEMA office asking for certification of the same undone levee!

In 2007, I and others brought these and other not done works covered by permits  to the attention of the State, Federals, and Local officials to no avail. we also brought the failure to account for State tax Funds granted as well as Developer fees, to no avail.
