Why not dredge out the sediment and create a lake for recreation? Put in a stair-step waterfall for the Salmon to leap up through the same way they do on natural river obstructions. Add walking and cycling paths down each side, and with the water filling up, some trees on the embankments to stabilise the soil. Easy way to take whats there and build up parkland for all to enjoy, given it's changed so much over the last 100 years that there's little point trying to 'restore' what's assumed to have been there before.

@@inyobillThere is a purpose to refushing it, it creates a lake behind it that can be used for recreation by the community. Another comment mentioned Veterens living on the street while this gets funded to be destroyed,.. why not use the money to create a work program for those Vets, give them the tools to build a park and clear the sediment, along with support services, medical, food and accomodation. The work will help them keep their minds occupied on better things, give them a sense of pride and acomplishment in creating something of use to the wider community, or even creating a place that only they have access to for peace and tranquility. Putting in a stair-step waterfall for the Salmon to climb fixes a lot of the environmental issues, and having a mechnaism to keep the water at the bottom of the dam being cycled up to that waterfall will stop the sediment from dropping out of the flow.

Well when you build a dam, you design it to be durable as possible, so its gonna take a while to break it down. Plus considering there so much dirt trapped behind it, using explosive on it would likely not tear the whole thing down, even then the base of the dam is likely thicker by a lot compared to the top so you got a lot of stuff to remove. Also another thing is dams even 100s of years ago were still built with the idea they could hold millions tons of force water would put on to it, so this dam should be pretty resistant to the force of explosive.

It's amazing only in California. Would they take something that can be used to power hundreds of homes like this dam that was just meant to be a reservoir and has been disused for its original purpose for a long time but still useful by design and even though this could be used to generate power to power hundreds of homes, they're going to just get rid of it instead of making more green energy production what they should do is modernize this dam meaning make a way of managing the silt so that way it is not a problem and convert it to a hydroelectric dam given the fact that this damn has been there for a century now. The environmental impact of the fish spawning is not something that will fix itself just by getting rid of the dam. The fish that's naturally would go further. Upstream from the dam are no longer around so it would just open up a large water flow for a short period of time whereas we could convert it and make it more hydroelectric The carbon footprint to do either project is the same, but by converting the dam to be hydroelectric it could provide a good constant source of power for at least 250 homes. Maybe even as many as 750 homes more like something like $4 to $600 Southern California homes would actually be able to make use of the energy that this damn would produce if it was converted to be a hydroelectric dam.

Yeah, and don't take responsibility for its maintenance so it can be foisted off on the tax payers to fix.

There will be a ton of gold at the base of all that silt wash.
TONS!
You wish. No gold anywhere up that creek. Only farmland silt.
@@johnnyblade6088 I don't know the area I'm just speculating but be some for sure at the bedrock for miles.
They’re gonna need to find about 55,000 ounces of gold in order to pay for the demolition of that dam 😅 Took 2yrs to build and gonna take 8yrs and 100million to demo, but they’ve been talking about it for 32 years? I hope middle class taxpayers in the Central Valley don’t have to pay for that 💩!
Plenty of fish!
I don't think the fish are to worried about swimming up a creek they've never been too.
Veterans on the streets, $100m for some fish...
Potential work program for the Vets?,.. give them time and tools and turn the creek in to a park, while providing accomodation, food and medical, somewhere peaceful where they can get assistance and support, while doing something to remove any sense of burden they may be feeling.

Open it up, that river will move the sand for free and natural.
If you open it up very slowly over say 10 years or more, the river can cope with the sediment. Open it too quickly, the sediment destroys everything downstream.
You didn't notice in the story that is at least part of the plan? 01:57.

That actually sounds really cheap.

@@jamesferguson2353 Look, a squirrel!
wow great reporting! I can't remember the last time I heard such a good piece on a local TV station
Very interesting! Incredible that 100’ of sediment has built up and totally backfilled the structure!
Um, that’s not a dam anymore. It’s a retaining wall.
I'd never heard of the Queen of Malibu, so I'm off to do a bit of research. Thanks for the story.
They been “secretly” planting steelhead in Malibu Creek for the last decade. We used to fish for them below the dam in the 80’s. Back when kids hiked into the mountains with a tent and sleeping bag to fish for the weekend. After hitchhiking down Las Virgenes it still took a 1/2 day to hike down to the creek.
I don't think they plant any. There's probably some which spawn below the dam, and then some "stray" from neighboring creeks.
Why not dredge out the sediment and create a lake for recreation? Put in a stair-step waterfall for the Salmon to leap up through the same way they do on natural river obstructions. Add walking and cycling paths down each side, and with the water filling up, some trees on the embankments to stabilise the soil. Easy way to take whats there and build up parkland for all to enjoy, given it's changed so much over the last 100 years that there's little point trying to 'restore' what's assumed to have been there before.
"Why not dredge out the sediment and create a lake for recreation?" Why not just use the creek for recreation?
@@rodshop5897 The larger reservoir of water will better support more wild life, and plant life, trees that put down long roots stabilise the soil and prevent erosion. Erosion that becomes sediment that will build up in other place too, and the deeper water increases surface area under the water, creating more places for more underwater fauna, which in turn increases the places where the salmon csn lay egg casches and improve thier population.
$100 million!? Just blow it up.
How many hundreds of millions have they wasted on the steelhead. Let it go!
They will probably introduce carp
PBS has a good documentary about the 1928 St Francis dam disaster and after learning more about dams from that time (such as this one), I’m surprised it’s still holding on.
ill be dammed
Dismantle it 💪🏽
Dam EASY. A few suction dredges and clamshell dredges and 3 months of work... Plus about 30 Million worth of work and shes right as reign. Good for another 20 to 30 years.
It’s CA. Make that $175 million.…..and they’ll somehow start a wildfire with it too 😂😂
There is no purpose to a renovated dam. Also, it would immediately begin to refill with sediment.
6uild 6ack 6etter
@@inyobillThere is a purpose to refushing it, it creates a lake behind it that can be used for recreation by the community. Another comment mentioned Veterens living on the street while this gets funded to be destroyed,.. why not use the money to create a work program for those Vets, give them the tools to build a park and clear the sediment, along with support services, medical, food and accomodation. The work will help them keep their minds occupied on better things, give them a sense of pride and acomplishment in creating something of use to the wider community, or even creating a place that only they have access to for peace and tranquility. Putting in a stair-step waterfall for the Salmon to climb fixes a lot of the environmental issues, and having a mechnaism to keep the water at the bottom of the dam being cycled up to that waterfall will stop the sediment from dropping out of the flow.

Dam that’s a lot of money to demo,,,, 😃
You'd think California would have distoryiing things down pat , by now ?
How in the heck should the removal take 8 years???!?!!? What kind of government boondoggle is that? The state just needs to contact any military base in the state and ask for the demolitions team. They will get that dam gone in about a day or so.
20 years from now they'll still be taking about what to do about it
Block off that spillway and the dam will deconstruct itself.
So they’re going to have to drop trout?
What will all that sediment do to the river channel below the dam?😕
Help me understand. The water above the damn provides fauna, and much needed flora, life. The trees provide shade and oxygen. Why allow it all to flow into the ocean where it becomes unusable? Please inform my ignorance to the subject.
The creek will still be there. It's not going anywhere.
Looks like the dam isnt really holding back much water now tho. Seems to be all filled in with sediment.
Only leftist understand progressive backwards thinking the dam was built first and foremost for safety but environmentalists lie about everything to destroy America
They think they will save a single fish.
I wonder if that was the sediment was used to make tiles and pottery.
Damn steelhead can't get past the damn dam, dammit! I told them a million times.
Great story
Only 2 years to build (100 years ago yet...), but 8 years (????!) to dismantle?😮
Explosives can take it down in seconds
Well when you build a dam, you design it to be durable as possible, so its gonna take a while to break it down. Plus considering there so much dirt trapped behind it, using explosive on it would likely not tear the whole thing down, even then the base of the dam is likely thicker by a lot compared to the top so you got a lot of stuff to remove. Also another thing is dams even 100s of years ago were still built with the idea they could hold millions tons of force water would put on to it, so this dam should be pretty resistant to the force of explosive.
Teacher? Ahhh. English teacher. Got it. 😂
Very balanced report

Why they have not build a fish ladder?

All that sediment belongs in the ocean to replenish the beaches and slow erosion. This is what free flowing rivers do move sediment from the hills to the beaches
Says who? Maybe that sediment should be moved back upstream where it came from.

so thats where chauncy went
This damn has been damned.
So in a 100 years, the trout haven't found another place to spawn? I call bs on that part. The dam might no longer server a purpose and need to be torn down, but trying to tie it to such a thin whitewash is pitiful.

That’s a bad idea, malibu and the surrounding areas need to keep their water table higher. That will ensure plenty of folks have water to irrigate their properties. Plus, with the yearly wildfires, it’s always best to have extra storage.
Have you noticed all of that sediment build up behind the damn? It's not holding much water at all!!
@@Darkk6969 Ground water storage.
@@JeremeyHowlettwhat does that have to do with an old damn that is completely filled with sediment?
@@greghelton4668 If they remove the dam, the water table in the area will lower. Even though the dam is filled with sediment, it is still holding back and recharging the ground water to the height of the dam.
@@greghelton4668 removing the dam could cause the creek to dry up during summer months. They should be building several small dams on the creek to slow the water even more.
Meh, a few dam hundred pounds of c4 and Ill have that dan thing done in a dam day, dam it.
Really $$$$,.... give me 20 minutes and a shovel.
OR they could dig it out and rebuild it as a hydro-electric dam. The trout are NOT coming back use this to move forward and go CLEAN ENERGY!! Not to mention provide water to local areas. The state needs water and electricity.... Hey lets tear down another clean energy dam.
Can we stop destroying electricity generation in the state?? We're the highest importer of electricity and our electric bill is skyrocketing
Doesn’t look like it has a turbine, but it could be added. There are companies that are doing small hydro adaptations of creeks and rivers.

Less dams = less water for people + more money for bureaucrats. You do you though Cali.
LOL! Explain EXACTLY how not having a dam makes bureaucrats rich. Go ahead, clown, I've got a bowl of popcorn right here. Entertain us.
What good is a lake that is nearly filled with sediment? How much are you willing to pay for the dam to remain? How much water would be added to the water supply IF kept, rehabilitate and lake cleared of sediment? Besides, L.A. sits straddling a Mediterranean and semi-arid desert climate. Not ideal site for a region of 20? million people.
I think you’re going to have to explain that a little more thoroughly for anyone to understand what you’re saying
Dams are literally for water storage and electricity....
cant you see how old and damage the dam is. It will cost more for repair and rebuild.
100 years of sediments built up behind that dam that's why dams are total waste of time and he also contribute to coastal erosion

Leave it alone. Its history First I said B-1 bomber it to kingdom come for 4th of July. Deleted Then I said Nuke it. Deleted So just move the teletubbies to the dam and live happily ever after.
It's amazing only in California. Would they take something that can be used to power hundreds of homes like this dam that was just meant to be a reservoir and has been disused for its original purpose for a long time but still useful by design and even though this could be used to generate power to power hundreds of homes, they're going to just get rid of it instead of making more green energy production what they should do is modernize this dam meaning make a way of managing the silt so that way it is not a problem and convert it to a hydroelectric dam given the fact that this damn has been there for a century now. The environmental impact of the fish spawning is not something that will fix itself just by getting rid of the dam. The fish that's naturally would go further. Upstream from the dam are no longer around so it would just open up a large water flow for a short period of time whereas we could convert it and make it more hydroelectric The carbon footprint to do either project is the same, but by converting the dam to be hydroelectric it could provide a good constant source of power for at least 250 homes. Maybe even as many as 750 homes more like something like $4 to $600 Southern California homes would actually be able to make use of the energy that this damn would produce if it was converted to be a hydroelectric dam.

Sediment and poor dam conditions at every dam here due to poor state management. Highest taxes in the nation and the worst public service as well. All our taxes go to special interest groups that benefit those that don’t pay taxes and those that serve them in administration. Notice they mention this is also in a public lands area the public has no access to. Another tragedy in California. We pay taxes for our city, county, state, and federal parks here but then they charge us to enjoy them or fence them off from access.
Please cite a state that does not cater to special interest groups.
Tax the rich!! Trickle Down Economics didn’t work!
Sediment collects behind every dam regardless of "management." California does not have the highest taxes in the nation, and its taxes are not exclusively dedicated to the interests of non-taxpayers. If you want access to a dam then explain how much taxpayer money YOU are willing to spend to develop that access. Congrats, every one of your ignorant complaints is incorrect or hypocritical.
