This is a very nice, well-written article. I've only a few minor comments: GA review-see WP:WIAGA for criteria (and here for what they are not)
 * "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) Is it reasonably well written?
 * a. prose: clear and concise, respects copyright laws, correct spelling and grammar:
 * b. complies with MoS for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * a. provides references to all sources in the section(s) dedicated to footnotes/citations according to the guide to layout:
 * b. provides in-line citations from reliable sources where necessary:
 * c. no original research:
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic:
 * b. it remains focused and does not go into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:
 * The few comments I made above are not enough to hold up the passing of this article. Congratulations! MathewTownsend (talk) 21:35, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
