Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed They wasted no time in dropping the reservoir level in direct contrast to DWR public statements by Erin Mellon, et al. Quoting: Crunch62 Now that the water level is below the bottom of the gates, the Hyatt Powerplant outflow has been reduced. Coincidence? I don't think so. The clock is ticking. We are heading onto the deluge season. Haven't been on the thread in a while so I thought I'd check and see whats going on. I used to houseboat for a week every September with a group of friends on Oroville. It was VERY common for the lake to drop 1-2 feet over night. We had to back the boat off every day and re-secure the mooring otherwise we'd get stuck on the shore. I would be concerned if the lake level wasn't dropping this time of year. |

It certainly is common for the lake to drop this time of year. My concern is due to DWR stating, 'We are going to keep it full all summer. There is no concern with having a 900' elevation, as we have done in past years." Then a week later, they began dropping the elevation via the power plant as fast as possible, without using the main spillway. Meanwhile, work is continuing on the spillway gates (the gates DWR stated didn't need any work). Lies and deception. That is what our tax dollars are buying us. What the Hell?... |

I know they look at historical patterns and el nina or ninos and all that jazz. Heard anything? Sounds like early snow in the Sierras already. |

Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed Hello Dam watchers! Well, made it through the rough patch obviously and that is a good thing. So now, the lake level is below the bottom of the spillway gates. Opportunity to work on them now. Does anyone know if the DWR actually is doing any work on the gates while they can? |

Opportunity to work on them now. Does anyone know if the DWR actually is doing any work on the gates while they can? I believe they have been working on the gate structure all along. There have been workers and equipment in that area continuously. I noticed yesterday on the top cam that at least a couple of the gate hoist motors had been reconnected to power. They may have raised at least some of the gates to perform work, but it would be difficult to confirm that without a boat. What the Hell?... |
