California DWR reports meeting Nov. 1 deadline for Oroville Dam spillway reconstruction

The newly constructed spillway is now built to its original design capacity of 270,000 cubic feet per second.

Is true but the system down stream can not handle that much water.

Which is why they should have been dumping at least 15k CFS 24/7.

That is the puzzling part. Why wait until they are forced to dump a shit ton of water? On a spillway that hasn't been real life tested beyond 20k CFS.
