This is gonna happen, SRP gets things done.

"If the dam were raised by 97 feet, that would increase its capacity to 628,000-acre feet from its current 178,186-acre feet."

It would be nice to get all the surprise rocks there covered with water

We will see how much handwringing the politicians, enviro’s and other “stake holders” have that will delay the project… they need to get to making this happen and not mess around. Too much analysis paralysis these days…

The dam in question. I can’t even imagine how they would raise that 100ft. It’ll end up being a 1/4 mile wide.

Almost 3/4 of a mile long. That’s a big one.

This isn't SRP's first dam improvement rodeo.

They pulled off building a new dam behind the original on Roosevelt.

I remember them doing that. They raised it and repaired it. It’s not a 2nd one.

Wide yes, but not especially high in a lot of places. Would be interesting in seeing the amount of concrete necessary compared to other dams.
