Whoever the Civil Engineer was who designed the Drainage system for this project needs to be Fired immediately.

 

Or as is more likely the downstream system was never maintained & filled up w/sediment & beer cups & cigarette butts.

Or it just rained a Shitload (more than the "1% Chance Storm" most systems are designed for).

Probably a Baby Boomer.

 

One of the major problems is decades of storm water drainage neglect.  Everything drainage wise in San Diego is choked with brush, plants, and trash some of it deposited in the 96 or 98 (I can't remember) El Nino.  Heard a thing on their local NPR about it a few years ago.

Padres are underwater in lots of ways!

But it is opening up new Breeding Habitat for Ducks, Geese, & Loch-Ness-ish migrant visitors.

Everyone benefits by way of increased Diversity.

Nothing can go wrong.

 

Needs the slacker treatment

I was just reading about a new gold rush in CA as the rains have uncovered previously buried gold in them hills.

I live in the Heart of Gold Country. The real gold still will be Green. 

People always find gold in the Yuba, you just have to know how to do it. 

there's a BAIT & TACKLE shop- (on the concourse of the aforementioned ball park.)

I actually know a dude who did some panning in Southern Oregon and collected a few nuggets. He showed me his stash, nothing huge but a nice film can of Gold pebbles.

Oroville damn leakage has probably washed away quite a nice batch of the stuff.

With all the Weed growers siphoning off so much water from streams & rivers, it seems like anyone could dig around in the shallows to unearth more shiny rocks.

People who know are probably not talking wink
