This is the failure area
Apparently an old emergency spillway not used.
Eroded area where embankment was over-topped on south side.
Another eroded area on south side embankment.
View of collapse area from south looking north.
Same view.
Embankment material moved several hundred feet from embankment
Area abraded clean by flood.
Channel created in initial flood wave now dry.
View further down hill.
Current channel; stream from Forbay canal/reservoir
New channel cut from the stream.
Debris from embankment; you can see the distance it moved.
Stream as it was the day I visited. Fast moving water. Highly turbid.
This was moved about 150 meters. 3.5 x 3.5 x 5 feet
View of collapse area.
Channel though Forbay Lake sediments
