Message:   .......At one time downstream from the pic of the green bridge there was a coffer dam (dirt dam with a 20 ft round pipe at the bottom) when work was still being done on the Auburn dam site.....the coffer dam tube got plugged in 87 or 89 and the river backed up until this green bridge was 60 ft under water!!!!... the debris trail on the banks was measured for proof,,, the coffer dam had a huge D12 type Cat bulldozer high track sitting on it when the water started going over the top of the dam,, when it washed out and was finally over the Cat was found 3 miles downstream and it looked like a rolled up ball of tin foil the water and rocks did so much damage to it.....and afterward the question came up as to why the operator didnt move it off before it happened and it was reported that nobody had the guts to do it because they didnt want to go out on the dam.......I went down there before the green bridge went underwater and I saw 60 to 80 foot pine trees with roots that had washed down off the hillsides upstream floating down the river and slamming into the bridge and then getting sucked under before pileing up on the face of the coffer....All the floating debri and silt went into Folsom Lake and it took 2 years for them to clean all that up......It was 6 months before we could use that bridge agian after that............BNC
