F-15 bathing after a flight

It is important to get rid of any salt deposits after a sustained low level maritime sortie by thoroughly washing the ac with fresh water. More powerful cleaning agents may be required for the crew seats.
Has there been any official account of the reason for this RW overrun yet?
As in 'official', not childish PPRuNe contributors' attempts at humour, that is!

I presume ownership by the Bureau of Reclamation is why there isn't a lid over that section of the canal, which seems like it would have been a really valuable addition - though maybe the cost of that lid would be more than this one plane (previously used, so discount priced.)
The canal makes a dodge to provide clearance with the end of the runway - a lid could have been included in the construction of the canal - the "Lost River Diversion Channel"
Across the canal is a flat farm; a lid would have been helpful. 90% chance an engineer told them they needed a lid and has been high-fiving acquaintances with "I told them so."
