The puddle
#17
Not exactly. The problem is the soils underneath have a high liquefaction properties and in the event of a earthquake the dam is at risk. The will add to the upstream berm a bit but most of the work will be to increase the downstream berm including digging through the layer with the high liquefaction to strengthen the dam from risk of catastrophic failure in a modest quake http://www.usbr.gov/uc/envdocs/ea/echo/EchoFEA.pdf
page 16 has the best diagram of what will be added to the existing dam.
