Where news media fight amongst themselves for the best ratings and dollars, blogs exist as "pages" pulled together by a common cause in hopes of finding some traces of truth in amongst the word of the highly paid political script writers (spin doctors) of the government, in this case, the very much provincial BC Liberals.North Van's Grumpshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17571810726275726952noreply@blogger.comBlogger440125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251250297030815041.post-67805088623048783492024-01-17T10:55:00.000-08:002024-01-17T22:27:01.988-08:00Cleveland Dam's Western abutment is set in rock whereas the Eastern 'abutment' is a valley<p></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik2i6OdRsIOshbzEU38D8rpDStmJ0vYaYJT7vz3vW31o2D4jX73Eryy0mEVbP91LPIyFWjmXmNsWSzZvqrC0oHJfEWw08Y0upLqtFXZu_eSApLNW-yP898TqShngUvVzQF6FW5EN8_bwp2KUmpn4l7bhyphenhyphenj0NYhEIO5fKHSyFv_kETP8ri2j1S7F_sU0cA/s1025/Cleveland%20Dam%20Banketing%20water%20seepage.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="574" data-original-width="1025" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik2i6OdRsIOshbzEU38D8rpDStmJ0vYaYJT7vz3vW31o2D4jX73Eryy0mEVbP91LPIyFWjmXmNsWSzZvqrC0oHJfEWw08Y0upLqtFXZu_eSApLNW-yP898TqShngUvVzQF6FW5EN8_bwp2KUmpn4l7bhyphenhyphenj0NYhEIO5fKHSyFv_kETP8ri2j1S7F_sU0cA/s320/Cleveland%20Dam%20Banketing%20water%20seepage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>The construction of a US$25M seepage control blanket at the Cleveland dam in Canada is due to start in March 2001. The potential for seepage and instability of the east abutment of the dam was first recognized in 1954 when the concrete dam was built. The western abutment is <b>set in rock</b>, but on the eastern side the buried rock valley is infilled with silt, sand, gravel and glacial till. It is hoped that the seepage control project will make the dam safer.</p><p><a href="https://www.waterpowermagazine.com/features/featurethe-case-of-cleveland-dam/" target="_blank">https://www.waterpowermagazine.com/features/featurethe-case-of-cleveland-dam/ </a></p><p> </p><p>"Cleveland dam is a 91m high concrete gravity structure set in a deep
bedrock canyon. Full reservoir supply level is at el. 146m and the dam
crest is at el. 149m. In 1992, the dam was upgraded to pass the Probable
Maximum Flood (PMF) and to withstand the Maximum Design Earthquake
(MCE) event.</p><p>The dam impounds a reservoir extending 4.5km to the
north where the Upper Capilano river flows into the reservoir. Typically
0.5km wide, the reservoir surface area is 2.3km2 at full reservoir
level. Flow is controlled at the dam by a radial gate spillway, two
mid-level intakes and outlets, and two low-level outlets."</p><p> <br /></p><p>"The dam is constructed in a bedrock canyon on the west side of the

with a complex stratification of silt, sand, gravel and glacial till.

quartz diorite with numerous inclusions of older sedimentary and
volcanic rocks." </p><p><br /></p><p>**********************************<br /></p><p>Additional Reading</p><p> <a href="https://www.waterpowermagazine.com/news/newsmetro-vancouver-utilising-hydro-potential-at-non-powered-dams/">Metro Vancouver utilising hydro potential at non-powered dams </a></p><p> <br />

Metro Vancouver in Canada is proposing to generate
electricity from its dams during rain drenched months of the year. The
supply of high quality drinking water will remain the first priority of a
new water use plan for the Capilano and Seymour Watersheds, which
includes the Cleveland dam. Built in 1954 to create Capilano Lake for
water storage, the dam currently does not capture energy from spilled
water. <br /></p><p><a href="https://www.waterpowermagazine.com/features/featureseismic-upgrade-of-seymour-falls-dam/" target="_blank">Seismic upgrade of Seymour Falls dam</a> <br /></p><p> <br />
23 May, 2006<br />
The Seymour Falls dam is a key element in Canada’s
Greater Vancouver Water District’s (GVWD) network of three watersheds.
The 45-year-old composite earthfill embankment and concrete slab and
buttress dam was found to not meet current seismic design standards, so
upgrades to meet the requirements of the Maximum Credible Earthquake
(MCE) are necessary. Part one of our two part report describes the
structure and looks at how the safety problem was identified and
analysed through site investigation and liquefaction assessment </p><p> </p><p>08 December, 2005</p><p><a href="https://www.waterpowermagazine.com/features/featurethe-case-of-cleveland-dam/ " target="_blank">The Case of Cleveland Dams</a>

Just drop your fishing gear, leave and seek out the safety of high ground.</p><p>In reality, there are NO further instructions for the public posted anywhere.</p><p>Two lives lost..... and all that Metro Vancouver has done to protect their employees, and the public, is lip service ("<span><span>express approval of or support for (something) without taking any significant action.")</span></span> <br /></p><p>Sort of reminds me (1950s-1960s) of the fire drills at school where the Fire Department showed up at Lord Tennyson and later Kitsilano, but we all knew that it was just a drill, and it only happened once a year.</p><p></p><p>There has Never been a Drill at Capilano River Regional Park, not even for the staff. </p><p>Fire Department / North Shore Rescue training, YES, but that has always been well planned out before hand.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.dnv.org/sites/default/files/edocs/CAP-presentation-20210615.pdf" target="_blank">Text Message alerts<br /></a></p><p>the alerts are available to the general public for the real thing, but in the trying-it-out phase twice a year did it actually work? </p><p> </p><p>UPDATE</p><p> </p><h1 class="ms-core-pageTitle" id="pageTitle"><span id="DeltaPlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea">Cleveland Dam Safety Enhancements Program Notifications

<p>In 1999 the Government of Canada created the National Program for the Grave Sites of Canadian Prime Ministers <span style="color: red;"><b>to ensure the conservation and promotion, in dignity and respect, of the grave sites of our deceased
prime ministers</b></span>. The program also provides Canadians with information on the lives and accomplishments of former prime ministers whose public careers have had a profound impact on the history of our country.</p>
<p>The program includes the preparation, in association with the family and the cemetery, of comprehensive conservation plans for the grave, the installation of a Canadian flag and an information panel<b> on the life and accomplishments of the prime minister resting in the grave</b>, as well as the organization of a commemoration ceremony in his honour. In addition, printed and online documents highlight the contributions of each prime minister.</p><p> <a href="https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/culture/clmhc-hsmbc/sep-gra">https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/culture/clmhc-hsmbc/sep-gra</a> <br /></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/culture/clmhc-hsmbc/sep-gra"></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"> *****************</p><p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><a href="https://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/eppp-archive/100/200/301/parkscanada/building_the_legacy-e/heritage_identity.htm" target="_blank"></a></span></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><a href="https://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/eppp-archive/100/200/301/parkscanada/building_the_legacy-e/heritage_identity.htm" target="_blank"></a><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/eppp-archive/100/200/301/parkscanada/building_the_legacy-e/heritage_identity.htm" target="_blank">Under the National Program for the Grave Sites of Canadian Prime Ministers</a>, the grave sites of ten Canadian Prime Ministers have now been formally honoured and recognized, and plans are under way for the remainder.

dependency on foreign oil<br />
<br />
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120112074856/http://therealstory.ca/">https://web.archive.org/web/20120112074856/http://therealstory.ca/</a><br />
<br />
"China’s on an oil buying binge. And Canada is where China likes to
shop.<br />
<br />
Since 2002 China, through four state owned oil companies, has spent
over $65 billion dollars to purchase oil and gas fields and
production facilities around the world.<br />
<br />
Almost 15% of China’s expenditures went towards securing oil from
Canada’s tar sands, according to a joint 2011 report of the
International Energy Agency and the OECD. China now owns
significant stakes in <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Northern+Lights+Oil+Sands%2C+MEG+Energy%2C+Athabasca+Oil+Sands%2C+Penn+West+Energy+and+Syncrude" target="_blank">Northern Lights Oil Sands, MEG Energy, Athabasca Oil Sands, Penn West Energy and Syncrude.</a><br />
<br />
China’s buying spree isn’t an accident. It’s a government policy
that’s developed haphazardly since the late 1980’s. China is
determined to ensure that it continue to grow an economy that is
increasingly dependent on energy from oil and gas.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">In 2009, China imported 53% of its oil.</span></b>
By <b><span style="color: red;">2035 that’s expected to grow to 82% </span></b>or
12.8 million barrels each and every day. China’s foreign policy is,
in part, determined by the need to resource that growth.

<span style="color: firebrick;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">A
knitting book with a difference! Rhymes and photos combine to bring a
thorough introduction to knit stitch and purl stitch, followed by
simple, enticing patterns for animals. The patterns are easy and
exciting to make and the completed projects are fun to play with.
Further instructions and more complicated patterns follow in the latter
half of the book.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: firebrick;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
Thoroughly revised, combining both the original <i>A First Book of Knitting for Children</i> together with the authors’ follow up title <i>Knitting for children</i>,
this book is great for both children and adults, an invaluable resource
for anyone learning how to knit. The clear instructions, the
interesting patterns and artistic photographs make this book a must for
all who have an interest in knitting.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: firebrick;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
