Had a visit last night with our city’s sewer/water engineer at the monthly council meeting. Asked him about VCP, and he said it’s not used in new construction very much, except New York.

Roots. He said they spend lots of time with “roto-rooters” cutting out root infiltration. Of course, down here in the south, vegetation is a bit more luxuriant.

To be fair, back in the 60s when the dam was built, VCP was state of the art.

Question - what is VCP?

Info - they are using ground-penetrating radar to analyze the ground beneath the remaining portion of the spillway, if that hasn’t been noted already.

Also, they’ve been running 2 units at the Hyatt plant all night at around 3520 cfs. I think that they’ll analyze and bring on more as long as the flow in the river below looks good.
