6.2 quake off the California coast prompts North State dam inspections
An earthquake that measured 6.2 in magnitude off the coast of California could be felt as far inland as Redding early Monday afternoon. … Don Bader, the area manager for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, initially said the effects of the quake were not felt strongly enough in the area north of Redding to trigger an inspection of Shasta Dam. But due to ongoing aftershocks, the bureau added Shasta Dam to its inspection list, he said. Bureau officials also planned to inspect three other dams in the area that are managed by the agency, he said.
