a damn situation?

100k of cubic feet of water over the spillway per second.
You have got to be kidding me.That has got to erode over to the dam and then watch out.

Damn!Mandatory? How does that work? Like, marched at gunpoint?
The dam is fine and will be fine...the problem is the cement paved spillway which got a sink hole like thing in it and the water rushing over it is tearing it completely apart and will be useless in a short time.
They have a secondary auxiliary to release water from the lake, but all it is...is an opening that releases the lake water on to a mountain side, that has trees and all kinds of stuff on it, which will be washed away and moved downstream with the water.... and mud from the mountain....the towns downstream could be destroyed by the debris....
is what they said on the news last night.

BOTH FAILED? The opening to the mountain side failed too??Both spillways failed or so the tweets say.

It's twitter...........anyway I posted the link to twitter. I read both failed but there are others stating it is imminent.
Yes, as Federal and State Officials push the Drought map on the World, a Dam is breaking apart in California.
What were the California officials focused on while this dam was neglected to the point that it poses a threat to life and property?
California was busy building Wind Turbines and Solar Plants, California was busy building a bullet train to nowhere! California was busy mandating ultra low sulpher diesel based on fraudulent reports.
Yes, screaming there is Global Warming and no more rain has consequences, especially when we have politicians focused on propaganda and not fact!
BREAKING: Fearing collapse of emergency spillway at Oroville Dam, Oroville evacuated
BREAKING: Fearing collapse of emergency spillway at Oroville Dam, Oroville evacuated
Butte County sheriff: “This in NOT A Drill.”
5 p.m.
The Butte County Sheriff’ Office released the following statement on Facebook:
This is an evacuation order.
Immediate evacuation from the low levels of Oroville and areas downstream is ordered.
A hazardous situation is developing with the Oroville Dam auxiliary spillway. Operation of the auxiliary spillway has lead to severe erosion that could lead to a failure of the structure. Failure of the auxiliary spillway structure will result in an uncontrolled release of flood waters from Lake Oroville. In response to this developing situation, DWR is increasing water releases to 100,000 cubic feet per second.
Immediate evacuation from the low levels of Oroville and areas downstream is ordered.
This in NOT A Drill. This in NOT A Drill. This in NOT A Drill.
Chris Orrock, a spokesman for the Department of Water Resources, told The Bee the failure happened as the bottom of the emergency spillway began to erode.

California's Department of Water Resources was concentrating on Climate Change propaganda and Drought propaganda instead of managing the dams in the state.
Climate Change
Climate change is also expected to result in more variable weather patterns throughout California. More variability can lead to longer and more severe droughts. In addition, the sea level will continue to rise threatening the sustainability of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the heart of the California water supply system and the source of water for 25 million Californians and millions of acres of prime farmland.

Watch KCRA Nowcast Newscasts Live and On DemandHas anyone leaked any footage of this incident? Damn! You'd think someone would be live streaming this event...
They are supposed to.
DWR Climate Action Plan
DWR’s Climate Action Plan is divided into three phases:
Phase I is DWR’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Plan (GGERP), which covers how DWR will help mitigate the future impacts of climate change by reducing the GHG emissions from its activities. Phase I was completed in June 2012 when DWR Director Mark Cowin signed the adoption of the GGERP. DWR is currently implementing the GGERP and is on target to achieve the major GHG reductions described. Click here for additional information about DWR’s GGERP.
Phase II is DWR’s framework and guidance for consistent incorporation and alignment of analysis for climate change impacts in its project and program planning activities. Climate change analysis can be extremely complex, including accounting for large uncertainties about the future climate and other important future conditions. This phase of the DWR Climate Action Plan will ensure that all DWR planning activities meet standards for quality, scientific rigor, and consistency. Phase II work began in 2012 with the empaneling of DWR’s outside Climate Change Technical Advisory Group. Phase II is expected to be completed in 2016.
Phase III is DWR’s Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan (VA/AP). This phase of the Climate Action Plan evaluates, describes, and where possible, quantifies the vulnerabilities of DWR’s assets and business activities to projected changes in temperature, wildfire, Sea Level Rise, and hydrology (including precipitation, snowpack runoff, and flooding). Once identified, these vulnerabilities will be prioritized and appropriate adaptation strategies will be developed to address them. Work on DWR’s VA/AP began in 2014. The Vulnerability Assessment portion of Phase III is expected to be completed in 2016 with the Adaptation Plan following in 2017.

Maybe if they could air drop wind turbines and solar panels into that dam, that would prevent it from completely breaking apart.
CALIFORNIA A sad failure
