When I first saw that and heard them say "There is no danger to the integrity of the dam" I instantly thought BS, you don't know what you are talking about. Now they evacuated 200K people, the emergency spillway can't be used like it was designed to be used because it would chew away the hill.
They better hope that the rain slows down or there will be BIG problems.
The emergency spillway design flaw was brought up 10-12 years ago and the Federal Dam inspector said it was O.K.
That's a big oops................
Oroville Dam. Oroville Dam is the centerpiece and largest water storage facility of the State Water Project. Located about 70 miles north of Sacramento at the Feather River confluence, Oroville Dam creates a reservoir that can hold 3.5 million acre-feet of water.
