It was not known until 1975, when a magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred near Oroville, that the dam sits on top of an active faultline. This caused serious questions to be asked regarding the Auburn Dam which was just beginning construction at the time and was never built as a result of the possible geologic risk.
Hmmmm just as the group is getting ready to leave... an earthquake hits.... (deep evil laughter!!)
