His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

And her aunt, who overhead Keating’s response, told her she was going to hell. “That was pretty traumatizing,” she recalls. “I always felt kinda like the black sheep.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11661532/photos-an-inside-look-at-san-franciscos-pole-dancing-scene\">PHOTOS: An Inside Look at San Francisco’s Pole Dancing Scene\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11661532/photos-an-inside-look-at-san-franciscos-pole-dancing-scene\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30412_pole-10-qut-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>And things weren’t much better at school either. Keating was an artistic kid with a big imagination. “It would turn the other kids off from me,” she says, “so there was some isolation and a bit of bullying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many young teenagers, Keating also struggled with her self-image. “I was just an awkward chubby girl who was deemed weird from an early age.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After getting into an argument with her family, Keating decided she was done with Indiana. She moved to San Francisco and started going to college. She saw San Francisco as a place where everyone was free to be themselves. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during her freshman year, Keating’s insecurities about herself — both physically and mentally — began to creep up on her.

So she started going to the gym every day — sometimes twice a day — and within a year lost 70 pounds. But something was missing. “I lost all the weight but still mentally I did not feel great about myself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11660632\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11660632\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">MaKayla Keating showing a before-and-after photo of herself after she lost 70 pounds. \u003ccite>(Samantha Shanahan/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>About seven months ago, one of her classmates started raving about a pole dancing class she’d taken. Like a lot of people, Keating thought pole dancing was mostly just for strippers. But she was curious, so she checked it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it was a revelation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re up in the air,” Keating says, “it’s kinda like flying.” On the pole, she discovered she was stronger than she ever knew. Keating says she remembers when doing a pullup seemed impossible. “Now I can just pull myself up no problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating ditched her gym membership and now devotes most of her free time to pole dancing at a studio in San Francisco. One of the most challenging tricks she has learned is called the “Hey Girl.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To start, MaKayla climbs the pole. She then sandwiches the pole into her bicep and squeezes as hard as she can. “I usually get a big bruise after this one,” she says. Then using her arm and abdominal muscles, Keating swings her hips around the pole and spreads her legs open into a straddle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hurts so bad,” she says, “but it looks really cool so it’s worth it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating is using her skin as a kind of friction brake on the pole. It’s why pole dancers always wear a minimal amount of clothing. It’s not just about sexuality. It’s about technique and safety. A pole dancer’s body is in a constant battle with gravity. You want to climb up. Gravity pushes you down. You want to flip yourself upside-down? Gravity wants to keep you right-side-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11660633\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11660633\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">MaKayla Keating (R) and her dance partner practice their routine at San Francisco Pole and Dance. \u003ccite>(Samantha Shanahan/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But when Keating calls her family back in Indiana, she doesn’t talk about pole dancing. “If you were in my shoes, would you tell your mother?” she asks. “If I were just to say, ‘Oh, I’m pole dancing,’ she’s thinking stripper in the club, booty twerking, dollar bills being thrown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pole dancing didn’t become synonymous with sensuality until the 1920s. Dancing with, on or around a pole has been part of many cultures. It actually began hundreds of years earlier, and has roots in 12th century Chinese acrobatics. Poles were covered with rubber instead of metal and performers would do tricks fully clothed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, pole dancing is just one more growing fitness trend — like yoga or pilates — with over 70 studios in California alone. And yes, you can take a “sensual” or “exotic” pole dancing class in a studio. Or you can dance to Broadway show tunes and Disney songs. One San Francisco teacher has even built a routine around a poem about sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSAYPVCupuc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating’s first competition is at a small college in San Bruno.

And her aunt, who overhead Keating’s response, told her she was going to hell. “That was pretty traumatizing,” she recalls. “I always felt kinda like the black sheep.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11661532/photos-an-inside-look-at-san-franciscos-pole-dancing-scene\">PHOTOS: An Inside Look at San Francisco’s Pole Dancing Scene\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11661532/photos-an-inside-look-at-san-franciscos-pole-dancing-scene\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30412_pole-10-qut-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>And things weren’t much better at school either. Keating was an artistic kid with a big imagination. “It would turn the other kids off from me,” she says, “so there was some isolation and a bit of bullying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many young teenagers, Keating also struggled with her self-image. “I was just an awkward chubby girl who was deemed weird from an early age.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After getting into an argument with her family, Keating decided she was done with Indiana. She moved to San Francisco and started going to college. She saw San Francisco as a place where everyone was free to be themselves. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during her freshman year, Keating’s insecurities about herself — both physically and mentally — began to creep up on her. One day, she went to a doctor who wrote in his chart that she was overweight. It devastated her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Self confidence-wise, I just didn’t want to go out,” Keating says. “I didn’t want to do anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating struggled with what she was going to do. So she started going to the gym every day — sometimes twice a day — and within a year lost 70 pounds. But something was missing. “I lost all the weight but still mentally I did not feel great about myself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11660632\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11660632\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/BEFOREAFTER_RS30338_000-pole_firstedit-2-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">MaKayla Keating showing a before-and-after photo of herself after she lost 70 pounds. \u003ccite>(Samantha Shanahan/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>About seven months ago, one of her classmates started raving about a pole dancing class she’d taken. Like a lot of people, Keating thought pole dancing was mostly just for strippers. But she was curious, so she checked it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it was a revelation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re up in the air,” Keating says, “it’s kinda like flying.” On the pole, she discovered she was stronger than she ever knew. Keating says she remembers when doing a pullup seemed impossible. “Now I can just pull myself up no problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating ditched her gym membership and now devotes most of her free time to pole dancing at a studio in San Francisco. One of the most challenging tricks she has learned is called the “Hey Girl.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To start, MaKayla climbs the pole. She then sandwiches the pole into her bicep and squeezes as hard as she can. “I usually get a big bruise after this one,” she says. Then using her arm and abdominal muscles, Keating swings her hips around the pole and spreads her legs open into a straddle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hurts so bad,” she says, “but it looks really cool so it’s worth it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating is using her skin as a kind of friction brake on the pole. It’s why pole dancers always wear a minimal amount of clothing. It’s not just about sexuality. It’s about technique and safety. A pole dancer’s body is in a constant battle with gravity. You want to climb up. Gravity pushes you down. You want to flip yourself upside-down? Gravity wants to keep you right-side-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11660633\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11660633\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">MaKayla Keating (R) and her dance partner practice their routine at San Francisco Pole and Dance. \u003ccite>(Samantha Shanahan/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But when Keating calls her family back in Indiana, she doesn’t talk about pole dancing. “If you were in my shoes, would you tell your mother?” she asks. “If I were just to say, ‘Oh, I’m pole dancing,’ she’s thinking stripper in the club, booty twerking, dollar bills being thrown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pole dancing didn’t become synonymous with sensuality until the 1920s. Dancing with, on or around a pole has been part of many cultures. It actually began hundreds of years earlier, and has roots in 12th century Chinese acrobatics. Poles were covered with rubber instead of metal and performers would do tricks fully clothed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, pole dancing is just one more growing fitness trend — like yoga or pilates — with over 70 studios in California alone. And yes, you can take a “sensual” or “exotic” pole dancing class in a studio. Or you can dance to Broadway show tunes and Disney songs. One San Francisco teacher has even built a routine around a poem about sexual assault.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/MSAYPVCupuc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/MSAYPVCupuc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Keating’s first competition is at a small college in San Bruno.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco officials are weighing steps — including possible legal action — to try to rein in the sudden proliferation of rental electric stand-up scooters on the city’s streets and sidewalks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scooters began appearing on city streets last month, distributed by a Southern California firm called Bird and two Bay Area dockless bike startups — LimeBike and Spin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials voiced disapproval because the companies put the scooters on the street without permits. Numerous reports of people riding the mini-vehicles on sidewalks — and dumping them haphazardly when they’re done riding — has heightened that official displeasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result: Board of Supervisors’ legislation that would empower the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to develop and enforce regulations for the scooters. The proposal, by Supervisor Aaron Peskin, is scheduled to be heard next week in the board’s Land Use and Transportation Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On another front, City Attorney Dennis Herrera said in a statement Monday his office has received “multiple” complaints about the scooters and is exploring what legal remedies might be used to ensure they don’t interfere with pedestrian safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s sidewalks “are not dumping grounds for commercial scooters,” Herrera said. “Kids, parents with strollers, seniors or people in wheelchairs shouldn’t be tripping over scooters or forced into traffic to get around them.

Numerous reports of people riding the mini-vehicles on sidewalks — and dumping them haphazardly when they’re done riding — has heightened that official displeasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result: Board of Supervisors’ legislation that would empower the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to develop and enforce regulations for the scooters. The proposal, by Supervisor Aaron Peskin, is scheduled to be heard next week in the board’s Land Use and Transportation Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On another front, City Attorney Dennis Herrera said in a statement Monday his office has received “multiple” complaints about the scooters and is exploring what legal remedies might be used to ensure they don’t interfere with pedestrian safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:15 a.m. Friday:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco utility officials and authorities in Tuolumne County say they’re closely monitoring conditions at a city-owned dam in the Sierra foothills after a deluge Thursday touched off a surge of floodwater and debris into the reservoir behind the structure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moccasin Dam, near the junction of Highways 49 and 120 about 40 miles northeast of Modesto, became a focus of concern early Thursday afternoon after the National Weather Service in Sacramento issued a flash-flood warning based on concern that failure of the 60-foot high structure was “imminent.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That warning was issued as a torrent of muddy water roared down an emergency spillway on one side of the dam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dam, along with its reservoir and an adjacent powerhouse, are all part of the San Francisco’s Hetchy Hetchy water and power system, which serves 2.5 million people in the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/krisnoceda/status/976982568603021312\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, which owns and operates the Moccasin facilities, said later Thursday afternoon that as rains and flows into the reservoir eased, it considered a dam failure unlikely. The agency said its crews were working to empty the reservoir, which in normal operating conditions receives water that has run through the powerhouse and discharges it into a tunnel heading for the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NWS Sacramento said in a followup advisory that the potential for a breach continued and its flash-flood warning for the area remained in place. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NWSSacramento/status/976987440723513344\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moccasin Reservoir has a maximum capacity of 554 acre-feet of water — about 180 million gallons. A dam collapse would send a surge of water through the fish hatchery and down down Moccasin Creek into the giant Don Pedro Reservoir just downstream. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://infrastructure.sfwater.org/fds/fds.aspx?lib=SFPUC&doc=982544&ver=1&data=378279440\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2014 biannual SFPUC report\u003c/a> on the Hetch Hetchy system said the dam, built in 1930, was due for a “formal condition assessment” to be completed in July 2017. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://bawsca.org/uploads/userfiles/files/2016%20State%20of%20Regional%20Water%20System%20Report_Final_Sept%202016.PDF\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">agency’s next biannual report\u003c/a>, issued in 2016, said “regular inspection of Moccasin Dam has not revealed a need for capital work.” The document adds that a formal condition assessment was due to be undertaken — with the date stated as either July 2020 or sometime in fiscal 2024. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a summary of physical assessment of the Hetch Hetchy system’s dams, tunnels and other infrastructure, the 2016 report said previous assessment reports for Moccasin Dam were not available. The date of its last assessment was likewise listed as unavailable. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The facility falls under the jurisdiction of the state Department of Water Resources Division of Safety of Dams. DSOD’s reports on Moccasin Dam were not readily available, though the SFPUC’s 2016 report says the Hetch Hetchy Water and Power’s system’s evaluation of the dam showed it was safe for continued use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SFPUC said in a press release that as water surged into Moccasin Reservoir early Thursday afternoon, safety personnel saw water leaking from the dam. Warnings were issued and evacuations ordered as a precaution, the agency said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Video shot during the surge of water into the reservoir showed releases down the dam’s concrete spillway as well as a torrent pouring over and through an emergency spillway on one side of the dam. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Fish and Wildlife reported that all nine employees who work at the state-run hatchery immediately below the dam and live nearby had been evacuated, along with their families. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a media conference, Tuolumne County Sheriff James Mele credited Hetch Hetchy personnel with acting quickly to alert local authorities and do what they could do release water from the suddenly swollen Moccasin Reservoir. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For a few moments it was very stressful because we felt they were going to lose that dam,” Mele said. “Even though it’s a very small reservoir, the fact of the matter is it would have eroded a lot of the roadway” and disrupted travel for both local residents and those trying to reach Yosemite National Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Highways 120 and 49 were both closed as water cascaded down the dam’s main concrete spillway and an emergency spillway. Highway 120 was later reopened; Highway 49 remained closed because water rampaging out of the dam’s emergency spillway undercut parts of the road. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CaltransDist10/status/976986628647366656 \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don Pedro Reservoir, which can store a maximum of 2 million acre-feet of water, is owned by the Turlock Irrigation District. According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.fresnobee.com/news/state/california/article206403404.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Modesto Bee\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The Turlock Irrigation District said if Moccasin Dam does fail, it would have a very small impact on Don Pedro’s storage capacity and the flows from Don Pedro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TID spokesman Calvin Curtin said that is because Moccasin is such a small facility and it would raise the level of Don Pedro by less than one half of one foot. But the TID is looking at the potential impacts of debris, including logs, mud and rocks, that could enter Don Pedro if Moccasin failed and what steps it could take to mitigate that.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",
