This is a very nice, well-written article. I've only a few minor comments:

  • "it is the tallest dam in the U.S." - I added " as of 2012" - is this correct?
  • NealthNewsDigest.com - is this a reliable source for damage prevented?
  • "Groundbreaking on the dam site occurred in May 1957 with the relocation of the Western Pacific Railroad tracks that ran through the Feather River canyon." - the relocation of the railroad tracks was the groundbreaking?
  • I've made a few edits that you're free to correct.[1]
