Do we know if this has the potential to flood the old ICBM complex at Sutter Buttes?

Sutter Buttes are a couple thousand feet in elevation, well out of danger even if the whole dam collapsed.

I'm not sure about the specific location of said complex, but the Sutter Buttes in general - being buttes - are at a much higher elevation than the surrounding portions of the Central Valley.
