Prior to the writing of this report, the author had not visited the dam site. The information about Teton on which it is based is contained in the reports by the Independent Panel and Interior Review Group and other publications given as references. The opinions expressed are those of the author, although they may reflect some of the points of view of British civil engineers. Discharge of the reservoir removed about 2,500,000 m 3 of fill adjacent to the right abutment. Subsequent investigation of the failure has caused the removal of about 675,000 m 3 adjacent to the left abutment, leaving a pyramid of fill, 93 m high in the middle of the canyon. It might be argued that had the expenditure required for the investigation been available for construction, it might have been sufficient to pay for the extra foundation treatment now recognised as necessary for a safe dam on that site. The question arises: was the inadequate foundation treatment the consequence of a limited budget?
