Hydroe dam not deteriorating despite increased spill
B C Hydro reports the W A C Bennett Dam is not deteriorating and is operating normally. Non intrusive explorations using ground penetrating radar and electrical methods continue, while a Swedish expert on internal erosion examined the structure. A June sinkhole filled afterward may reflect slow internal erosion, but officials expect no rapid deterioration and monitor closely.
