Incident Description |
Embankment has extensive trees. High winds caused a tree to fall at the downstream edge of the dam crest. This created a void in the embankment and a crack in the soil around the tree roots, however further examination conluded the cracking was due to earth being pulled away by the roots, not due to dam slope sliding. |
