Well when you build a dam, you design it to be durable as possible, so its gonna take a while to break it down. Plus considering there so much dirt trapped behind it, using explosive on it would likely not tear the whole thing down, even then the base of the dam is likely thicker by a lot compared to the top so you got a lot of stuff to remove. Also another thing is dams even 100s of years ago were still built with the idea they could hold millions tons of force water would put on to it, so this dam should be pretty resistant to the force of explosive.
Why not dredge out the sediment and create a lake for recreation? Put in a stair-step waterfall for the Salmon to leap up through the same way they do on natural river obstructions. Add walking and cycling paths down each side, and with the water filling up, some trees on the embankments to stabilise the soil. Easy way to take whats there and build up parkland for all to enjoy, given it's changed so much over the last 100 years that there's little point trying to 'restore' what's assumed to have been there before.
@@rodshop5897 The larger reservoir of water will better support more wild life, and plant life, trees that put down long roots stabilise the soil and prevent erosion. Erosion that becomes sediment that will build up in other place too, and the deeper water increases surface area under the water, creating more places for more underwater fauna, which in turn increases the places where the salmon csn lay egg casches and improve thier population.
It will fill with sediment again. It became obsolete in 20 years of construction also all that sediment should be our sand. CA has to pay for sand to be trucked in. So if we keep it we will have to make it into a lake every 15 - 20 years then keep spending money on trucking sand to malibu. Also continue to have a fish go extinct. If you are looking for recreation just imagine being able to fish up a 1.5 ft steelhead from malibu in a creek! Like a salmon run up north. The lake is meant to work. If it did work the dam wouldn't be full of dirt. Totally get wanting to have one but it doesn't work.
What good is a lake that is nearly filled with sediment? How much are you willing to pay for the dam to remain? How much water would be added to the water supply IF kept, rehabilitate and lake cleared of sediment? Besides, L.A. sits straddling a Mediterranean and semi-arid desert climate. Not ideal site for a region of 20? million people.
Sediment and poor dam conditions at every dam here due to poor state management. Highest taxes in the nation and the worst public service as well.

So in a 100 years, the trout haven't found another place to spawn? I call bs on that part. The dam might no longer server a purpose and need to be torn down, but trying to tie it to such a thin whitewash is pitiful.
OR they could dig it out and rebuild it as a hydro-electric dam. The trout are NOT coming back use this to move forward and go CLEAN ENERGY!! Not to mention provide water to local areas. The state needs water and electricity.... Hey lets tear down another clean energy dam.
It's amazing only in California. Would they take something that can be used to power hundreds of homes like this dam that was just meant to be a reservoir and has been disused for its original purpose for a long time but still useful by design and even though this could be used to generate power to power hundreds of homes, they're going to just get rid of it instead of making more green energy production what they should do is modernize this dam meaning make a way of managing the silt so that way it is not a problem and convert it to a hydroelectric dam given the fact that this damn has been there for a century now. The environmental impact of the fish spawning is not something that will fix itself just by getting rid of the dam. The fish that's naturally would go further. Upstream from the dam are no longer around so it would just open up a large water flow for a short period of time whereas we could convert it and make it more hydroelectric The carbon footprint to do either project is the same, but by converting the dam to be hydroelectric it could provide a good constant source of power for at least 250 homes. Maybe even as many as 750 homes more like something like $4 to $600 Southern California homes would actually be able to make use of the energy that this damn would produce if it was converted to be a hydroelectric dam.
Charge that $100M to anything left of their estate for ecological damage. Taxpayers shouldn't be on the hook for the damage caused by a private party who profited from it. Doubly so when we're talking about eight years of work an 100 *million* dollars!
