And not in a good sense - from the San Francisco Chronicle:
'Green spots' on Oroville Dam raise concern that a leak could lead to a breach
"Green spots" on the back side of California's Oroville Dam have some engineers and scientists concerned.
A 15-member team at UC Berkeley conducted an analysis on the condition of the nation's tallest dam that caused a state crisis when its spillway failed earlier this year. The group issued a report through the university's Center for Catastrophic Risk Management identifying several design flaws and maintenance issues that contributed to the failure and that could cause future problems.
One of the worrisome conclusions reveals that a wet area on the dam where the grass is lush — and appear as green spots — might be the result of a slow leak that could lead the dam to breach.
More at the site - of course, the State Bureaucrats are saying that there is no problem. These were the same unelected and unaccountable morons who let the spillway deteriorate to such a degree.
