Oroville Dam: Spillway’s Bottom Being Demolished for Replacement

The emergency is over, the construction now begins. Demolitions are going to increase, the bottom of the broken spillway will be taken out, two concrete-creating factories are being built and new concrete will be laid beginning in mid-June. The Department of Water Resources gave an update Wednesday in a media conference call on the construction phase at the spillway that began May 13 when the emergency officially ended.
