I think the jist of it is, it is easier to moniter and keep vehicle traffic moving along the dam,
where as either law enforcement or the dam operators may not have the man power to observe foot traffic, and my self personally, I feel that as nice a place as it is to fly, it may be unwise to fly r/c aircraft around a dam or other structure like that. people nerves are on edge and so people might percive some even as simple as an r/c aircraft as a threat.This may for the time being be on of the sacrifices that we all have to make at a time like this.
