As stated, I am well experianced in levee matters in Yuba Countys RD 784 district and what I see now is not Good. From my experiance I know Officials in the County are not the best information givers regarding the truth, if they even know it, of the levees protecting thousands of citizens behind the Yuba River South bank levee. Just recently I inquired of FEMA why they accredited the Yuba River South Bank levee where it broke in 1986, of course , no answer because to admit TRLIA left the Levee unfixed in 2006 when Dan Logue stated “We have fixed the Linda levee and it only cost us 23,000,000″, When in reality, the levee was without a foundation and had no stability from the Missing Foundation, would put certain officials in a bad light! This is for sure the same situation that is in effect now, no foundation and in fact as Flood control officials told those of us in the DWR meeting in Sacramento, there is a great Void (cavern) where the Foundation used to be and I say thank you to them!
Citizines! TRLIA had the money in 2005 -07 to upgrade that levee properly by setting the Levee forward out of the destroyed foundation area, and build a solid foundation on the Cobble stones the width of the Levee and redirect the levee from the Shad Pad straight across to the Simpson lane road which would have lasted at least as long as the old levee did, upwards of a Hundred years. Why they did not do that is beyond me. Instead, TRLIA officials pretended all was well and even though I have made it known from FEMA to the Corps of Engineers and south to the State Department of Water Resources, but citizines, they still to this day pretend all is well. These people are not elected officials but appointed officials with an agenda that has greed written all over it.
What people are saying..
