"The new construction puts a stop to further use of the main spillway for the season. Construction began Thursday June 6, 2019 when excavators and heavy equipment began removing a large portion of the bottom of the spillway."


Wait....Wut?

I thought they were going to run the spillway this week??????

These Phukkers have their heads so far up their asses they can't tell when the sun is up....
 Quoting: Hnry Bwmn


I couldn't find the origin of that statement, aside from the "stoner logic" article. It could be part of a photo, didn't look too too hard, but it isn't a statement issued by the DWR that I could find yet.

No matter what though, they aren't going to run the spillway with those K-rail blocks sitting on it and any workers or gear down on that ledge road.

A view of the Lake Oroville main spillway in Butte County, California. The spillway gates are designed with seals to minimize leakage around the edges of the gate. This modest leakage is beneficial with respect to reducing friction when the gates are operated.

No outages here, last night or this morning. About 10 mi. south of Palermo. The wind is picking up, though.

Well that's kinda true in a stupid way.

Water pressure holds the gates closed. It's how they are built. Obviously a leak is a reduction in over all pressure against the gates.

So it's true but not the way they make it seem.

That's my opinion about it.



Besides, there should be no need to rely on leaking water to operate the gate. That statement is just completely unprofessional.

I think they are desperate.

Hard not to rant. Near certain it is the upstream end of a large port. Why won't they grout it? If you break a leg, you get a cast. The fix is known. If your dam has a port, you grout it. That's how you fix a port. In dams it is as commonly known as a cast on a broken bone.

Now explain why we have never ever before seen the leakage? the spillway is always DRY before unless the gates were open. IT WAS DRY BEFORE THE APRIL 2 TEST in fact.

West Coast faces heat wave this week as wildfires rage

(CNN)A heat wave that could break records is forecast for some parts of the West Coast, where dry conditions are raising fears of more wildfires in areas still reeling from last year's deadly blazes.

An excessive heat watch will be in effect Monday into Tuesday for portions of California and Arizona, said CNN meteorologist Allison Chinchar. Temperatures in the border areas of the two states and in the valley region from Redding to Bakersfield will reach triple digits.

I don't like having to hunt for it. LOL.

Anyway, wind downstream of the Oroville dam didn't really materialize today. The Sand fire in my county is like 2,200 acres. You would think it'd be much more, but so be it.

Very hot and dry conditions all over the valley now, we'll see what happens tomorrow.
