Sluiced (Lopez Dam Project)

According to information in the above linked document, La/FS are considering Sluicing 5 million cubic yards through the wash next to us and into the Lopez Dam.

I read somewhere they have a plan to empty the dam continuously for 6 months.

If this machine can process 200+ cubic yards per hour then in 1 year(8760 hours), then it can process 1,752,000 cubic yards in a year.

This could be our future for a long time.

A large portion of their budget is repairing damage they cause to the surroundings. We may need a carbon composite shell around our direct berm. The Corp may need to temporarily construct us a new hang 3 lz somewhere near by.


The pdf file attached at the beginning states " There are no
permitted recreational activities in the reservoir, so no impacts on recreation are expected."

Yet the Santiago Estates CUP states the open space between the development is to be used for hang gliding and I think equestrian, and Sibl.

I would also ask for a temporary "Raging Rapids" permit for kayaking while this is going on.

What would happen to club revenue if no hang 2 or hang 3 used storage or paid dues?
