"Cull Canyon Reservoir / Dam"


Compliments of the Castro Valley Sanitary District.
<https://www.facebook.com/CVSan>

Looks like the reservoir has been a problem for at least 11 years. The
video explains why fixing the deep mud problem is difficult. More
recent photos show a functional lake. This page explains the
sedimentation problem:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cull_Canyon_Regional_Recreation_Area#Reservoir_sedimentation_issue>
I really like this proposed (political) solution:
"Alameda County engineers have proposed to notch the reservoir's weir.
This would let water flow downstream, leaving the accumulated sediment
behind. Ackerman said that cost would be less than $1 million, and
that the seismic threat would be eliminated because the (California)
Division of Safety of Dams would no longer consider it a dam if it
didn't hold back water."

Hey Tom. On your next ride, could you check if the dam has a notch?

In any case, there's no indication that the deep mud will impact Tom's
bicycle rides or the use of the various trails:

Perhaps if you stop spinning your wheels there might be less silt.

Do you notice that everything I said that was described by you and flunky
to be untrue was described? When the lake got to be too shallow it
couldn't retain sufficient O2 to keep the fish alive. Why do you suppose
they call it a dam and John didn't?

I would think that this should be a lesson for you but I doubt it will be.

The last comment you made about bicycles you showed a couple of Strava two hundred mile loops and then denied you did so after I said that you didn't have enough training to do one day 200 milers.

I have actually done two hundred miles in a day and know just how difficult that is.

There are many people in RBT who make comments about everything.
Quality varies, but in general most of those are worth reading because
they comments and claims are usually from an informed point of view
(such as from personal experience) or an intellectual point of view
(such as from calculations, research report and authoritative
references).

Tom: That contrasts with your comments, which are generally not worth
reading because they are almost always wrong.

Liebermann, tell us what you made your rather sparse living doing? All of that knowledge made you a millionaire didn't it? Why customer were lining up at your door for those authoritative references. That must be why you're living your final days on welfare.

I designed and programmed medical instruments. Those comapanies were satisfied and gave me references for the next job. I had to sit in operating theaters watching to make sure that they performed satisfactorily. I worked as a scientist and had to think 20 questions ahead. I was finding errors from PhD physicists. I did a job that 2 PhD's EE's said required 2 IBM supercomputers with an Intell 8008. What have you done?

What have you done except try to deny that I made any money at all? I just called my broker and asked for 4 grand because I'm a little behind on my credit card. I will see it Tuesday. Can you do that?

You claim that what I post is "mostly wrong". How in the hell would you EVER know when you're a welfare queen?

Just remember that you made the wrong decision at every turn in your life to get to the point you are. The man who would be queen.

He needs $4K because he's "a little behind"? Depending on the interest
rate, a credit card payment with a $4K balance is about $150. If he
needs to plo $4K on a credit card, something is seriously wrong, unless
he out $4K on it and just wants to pay off the purchase. Even then,
sucking $4K out of an investment or retirement account to pay a credit
card? Let's think about the tax penalty versus the interest payment.

IOW - there are a doane ways to extrapolate that tommy's lying,
beginning with this:

Do you notice that everything I said that was described by you and flunky

Nope. Not everything. More like less than half of what you wrote. My
problems with what you originally claimed was:
1. That the deep mud interfered with your bicycle ride.
2. That you did your best to prevent me from locating the area you
were concerned about. When I thought I found it, I asked you if it
was the right location, and you want off and started ranting about
something unrelated.
3. The you never mentione any of the history that was in the video
and on the Wikipedia page. Both would have explained why whomever or
whatever you blamed were not able to fix things immediately.
4. You posted a photo of the deep mud sign on your Facebook web page,
but never mentioned it in RBT.
<https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1063064831504932&set=pb.100034042758783.-2207520000&type=3>
Try searching RBT for that link. You won't find it.
5. The barely readable sign looks very different from the new sign in
the video.
6. You put most of your effort to prevent anyone from verifying your
claims.
7. I ignored my request that you provide a better photo of the
location.

Right now, I don't want to debate this. Maybe later. The power went
off 3:15PM to 4:30PM and my phone has been ringing with questions.

It isn't a notch and at one time I showed a picture of it. It is a ground
level spillway that they used to drain the water off of the lake when the
mud raised to a level in which the lake became too shallow for fish to
survive in.

I begsn talking about the lake behind the dam in 2011 or so which means 12
or so years ago. This argument has been ongoing since that time with you
showing pictures from 2020 and me telling you about 2011 and you denying
it. When you are informed about something you should believe it first
unless there is contra-indications and there weren't. Or perhaps you don't
remember my life membership in the Aeolian Yacht Club.

Stop making a fool out of yourself for nothing. You have been wrong in
every argument with me and for what? What did you achieve except the
approval of Flunky who spends all day screwing his employers?

You had unveiled contempt for your teachers but somehow you respect
Krygowski? You three want to argue that Slocomb did indeed have an A&P? I
never said otherwise. I said that it didn't MATTER because the Air Force
does things differently. They didn't even bother to train him in the AF
way - they gave him a nothing job - crew chief on an obsolete bomber.

I was only at five airbases. But NONE of them had a machine shop. Perhaps
some old WW II base might have had one "just in case". But not since the
Army Air Corp became the Air Force. Remember that Slocomb was a CREW CHIEF
and knew full well that an A2C could sign off work sheets. So he has been
lying from the time he signed on here. Or perhaps you don't remember his
stories about him and his wife riding into Bangkok and then more recently
saying she didn't ride.

It doesn't matter to me if the lot of you want to tell each other lies.

Looks like the reservoir has been a problem for at least 11 years. The
video explains why fixing the deep mud problem is difficult. More
recent photos show a functional lake. This page explains the

"Alameda County engineers have proposed to notch the reservoir's weir.
This would let water flow downstream, leaving the accumulated sediment
behind. Ackerman said that cost would be less than $1 million, and that
the seismic threat would be eliminated because the (California)
Division of Safety of Dams would no longer consider it a dam if it
didn't hold back water."
Hey Tom. On your next ride, could you check if the dam has a notch?

Nope Tommy, the A.F. fixes airplanes just like the civilian airlines
do. The Whatdoyoucallit valve is bad, you change it. There is a hole
in the wing? you patch it.

As for obsolete bomber? Yup, they were converted to reconnaissance
airplanes and flew reconnaissance mission against both China and
Russia.
One of only two in the Air Force - the, 7499th Support Group at
Wiesbaden Army Airfield, West Germany, also flew RB-50's at one point
for reconnaissance over Communist Europe.

There is nothing really unusual about that. The systems tells you that
if it is available through the Supply System the you get it that way
but if it isn't you look into making it, which can be a bit complex,
which the article sort of describes casually.

I had a problem of that nature while in Vietnam. A part for a AC-47,
otherwise known as a DC-3 was labeled as being made of "Navel Bronze"
and we couldn't determine what "Navel Bronze" was, in modern terms.
The supply system had no record of such a thing and the Depot wasn't
exactly sure and we sent cables back and forth and meanwhile
Operations is screaming "Where is our airplane".

The final decision was to make the part from the strongest bronze
alloy available in the USAF supply system, which luckily we had on
hand.

Naval brass, which we all know, is 59% Copper 40% Zinc and
1% Tin with trace lead for free machining.

Naval bronze as it turns out is a highly corrosion resistant
bronze at 87.5% Copper 4% Zinc and 8.3% Tin, again lead
trace for machining. More details here:

You don't understand how the A.F. works. You may know what something
is but you can't use it on an airplane until the A.F. has identified
and approved it for the use you intend to use it for.

digging up the bits and pieces from the crash site.

The reason I was wrong about the dam was that I was looking at the

However, it was the only thing I could find with that looked like
Tom's "deep mud" description. It turns out that there are two lakes
(as described in the video). One lake is used to control the water
level in the other lake. Therefore, there are two dams of sorts. I

didn't. My real mistake was forgetting to lookup the "deep mud" issue
on Wikipedia, which explained many of the details.

The pinhead still denies that "danger, Keep Out, Deep Mud" means that there is deep mud there from exceptionally heavy winter rains washing mud down Cull Creek. He is unaware that such reservoirs are commonly used for supplying water to fire hydrants. He thinks that they always use drinking water to put fires out.

These are the same engineers who said that they would have Redwood Road repaired in 2 months!

The Dam was BUILT with a runoff that diverted the flow through a concrete bypass if the reservoir got too large. That reservoir was there for a reason. It supplied fire hydrants for a dozen housing projects in the area. When the mud filled the reservoir Cull Creek diverted over to run directly through that bypass and it appears to be a permanently cut channel now.

Since you NEVER rode bikes for anbything other than cheap transportation (not that there's anything wrong with that) why are you speaking about riding as if you are an ex-pro?

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cull_Canyon_Regional_Recreation_Area#Reservoir_sedimentation_issue>
"Alameda County engineers have proposed to notch the reservoir's weir.
This would let water flow downstream, leaving the accumulated sediment
behind. Ackerman said that cost would be less than $1 million, and
that the seismic threat would be eliminated because the (California)
Division of Safety of Dams would no longer consider it a dam if it
didn't hold back water."
Hey Tom. On your next ride, could you check if the dam has a notch?
In any case, there's no indication that the deep mud will impact Tom's

Perhaps if you stop spinning your wheels there might be less silt.
These are the same engineers who said that they would have Redwood Road repaired in 2 months!
They changed their minds, ran out of money, or had something more
important to fix on Jan 18, 2024:
<https://www.acpwa.org/about-us/roadclosure.page>
"This section remains closed indefinitely due to large sinkhole"

Original closure notice Jan 4, 2023:
<https://www.acpwa.org/acpwa-assets/docs/Press-Release/Redwood-Road-Closure-January-4-2023-New.pdf>
"Redwood Road has three areas of failure. The largest failure area is
currently being repaired and is scheduled to be complete by the end of
November. The other two failures, are anticipated for completion by
January 2025, weather dependent."

I'm fairly familiar with the local road closure announcements. I
don't know about Alameda county, but in about 50 years in Santa Cruz
county, I've never seen an announcement that it will be fixed "in 2
weeks". That kind of announcement is highly prone to confusion
because it doesn't specify when the 2 weeks will start. In this case,
Redwood Dr will hopefully be completed "by Jan 2025, weather
dependent). If it's by the end of January 2025, then you have about 2
more weeks to wait.

The Dam was BUILT with a runoff that diverted the flow through a concrete bypass if the reservoir got too large. That reservoir was there for a reason. It supplied fire hydrants for a dozen housing projects in the area. When the mud filled the reservoir Cull Creek diverted over to run directly through that bypass and it appears to be a permanently cut channel now.
Since you NEVER rode bikes for anbything other than cheap transportation (not that there's anything wrong with that) why are you speaking about riding as if you are an ex-pro?
