From the looks of they could have stood on the causeway and plucked debris out of the water with hooks and other implements
And used small riverboats/bass boats to get up close to particularly large pieces of debris and hook up tow cables.
Presumably there must have been a reason they couldn’t. But I doubt it was because such a task in of itself would have been considered unsafe. Perhaps some extenuating circumstances not directly related to the task would have rendered it unsafe I guess?
I mean hell. Even deploying upstream and catching debris as it came down could have potentially worked. And reduced any potential safety risk of setting up near/on the Dam.
Kinda confused as to why they didn’t attempt to extract the driftwood and debris. Before this became an issue
Too unsafe?

I would venture that the last suggestion might have worked, but it's too late now.
