Engineers Assess Spillway Problem at Oroville Dam

State water officials say engineers are still in the process of assessing damage to the spillway at Oroville Dam and figuring out what they can do to fix it “They’re evaluating the situation intensively this morning,” said Ted Thomas, the chief spokesman for Department of Water Resources. “They’re looking at what their options are for repair.” An extensive section of concrete on the spillway, which is used to manage the level of Lake Oroville, has peeled away or collapsed.
