The Spillway, not the Damn has suffered major Damage due to unexpected erosion. The flows have currently been halted. That is all the info I have read so far.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Same type of incompetent and inept engineering that built Hoover dam that's drying up Colorado river (to feed Arizona cities and Las Vegas). In 1930's some advisors told them (USA government) to built water channels from the north (Seattle/Vancouver water area) not the east from Colorado river. The USA government didn't listen and Colorado river will totally dry up in less than 10 years as they estimate.

If you care to remember I was talking about the spillway and the channel it had carved out and the geological makeup of the area, remember? They are satisfied with the outcome (damage) of the path it took. Get it together man. How could I even say anything the way I was shilled off the subject. These are new developments I just heard about this morning. Excuse me if I wasn't clairvoyant enough to be in on the meetings my nephew was in on earlier today.

The Don Pedro Reservoir spillway gates will stay open for a minimum of four days. It takes about 23 hours for water to reach Modesto.

One of the things addressed at todays briefing was the GLP tards here who are lying with their constant speculations and rumors. If you are relying on the idiots here for your info on the topic you are stupid PERIOD.

Some of the poster's here are raving fucking lunatics who have nothing better to do than to incite unnecessary panic and fear about a dam failure that is NOT going to happen.

You can repeat all the crap you want about bubbles, boils, leaks, cracks, radio transmissions, and water flow stats, the walls are not going anywhere and you all look like the complete fools you are and appear to be in desperate need of medication.

Don Pedro was the first gold surveyor
Oroville - town of gold

The river that Don Pedro feeds into, the Tuolumne, is already maxed out as is
 Quoting: rachel3108


Just an FYI for anyone who's interested:

Lake Oroville holds a max of 3.5 million acre feet of water.
Don Pedro Lake holds a max of 2.03 million acre feet of water.

This means that Don Pedro Lake holds about 60% total the amount of water that Lake Oroville holds total.

HOWEVER, Don Pedro Lake is basically full, while Lake Oroville is roughly 50' from the top.

Both dams are obviously a threat at the current time, but could it be that Don Pedro with its current volume actually has MORE water it in that Lake Oroville at the moment, and is actually a BIGGER immediate threat? I haven't done the math to see what total volume of water is in Lake Oroville at the current water level of ~850', but I would say they are pretty close in terms of their current capacities at the moment.

Here's the main takeaways from the press conference.


Storm is no problem, just 5 foot rise anticipated, 110K cfs inflows.
Will want to bring outflows to zero soon, so they can remove the debris pile
Main spillway has been stable
Lots of progress fixing the emergency spillway, still some work to do on priority area.
Will continue to fix the e-spillway until there's no immediate chance it will be used, then focus entirely on debris removal
