Cali Dept of Water Resources (DWR) folks hiding something at Oroville Dam Spillway?
-
New spillway tested at very low flow rate (25k cfs)
-
Spillway webcams out of service
-
Lake level reporting "Inaccurate" data
Top 50' of lake is supposed to be reserved for flood control (current lake level approx 38' below emergency spillway level & still rising)
… and no water being let out of the new spillway
DWR has a long history of "lack of candor" and "systemic failure due to poor management decisions" … they haven't earned the right to be trusted
IMO… Probably nothing (major), but I would not be the least bit surprised if they are trying to make some type of repairs on the spillway and that's why the water is not flowing down the chute
