	Plan raises Shasta Dam - 06/08/00

		According to Shasta County Assistant Public Works Director Pat Minturn, raising Shasta Dam by 6 feet would result in the loss of about 780 acres of land, noting that 130 acres of property are lost for every foot the dam is raised.

	RoguePundit: Raising Shasta Dam
		Shasta Dam was designed to be 800 feet tall, so adding concrete to its top presents no significant engineering obstacles.
		A taller dam means additional downstream protection against floods, more downstream supply for farms and cities and, because Shasta Lake would be deeper, more cold water to send downriver when the salmon are looking for a place to spawn.
		Since the vast majority of Shasta Lake is surrounded by a national forest and a recreation area (map here), there's not a lot of private landownership to consider when raising the dam.
