View attachment 11133

Well they have been studying valley flood control since 1898 . Five successive studies since the 1990 flood have all been shelved due to political expediency. I say leave the lake there .

Abbotsford had geotechnical done on the dykes 20 years ago that warned rebuilding was a necessity. Both the Province and the Feds offered no help in the $400M needed.

When it snowed early and heavily on Mt Baker and the rest of the cascades in a chillier than average autumn from the first Pineapple Express it should have clicked in that November might warm-up to near normal and melt the early snow.
