DWR Provides Update on Lake Oroville Operations
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) today announced it will lower Lake
Oroville water levels over the coming days to expand construction access to the upper chute
of the main spillway, in order to meet the November 1 public safety construction deadline.
Construction activities on the upper chute of the spillway revealed bedrock conditions that
require additional excavation. To accommodate the additional work and complete the main
spillway construction by the November 1 deadline, crews require a second point of access to
the upper chute through the radial gates.
DWR began increasing releases from the Hyatt Powerplant yesterday afternoon. Releases will
increase to approximately 4,500 cubic feet per second (cfs) to achieve the target lake level of
808 feet early next week.
As the lake level drops, some Lake Oroville boat ramp lanes will be inaccessible. DWR will
provide additional updates regarding construction and recreation impacts next week.

Oroville Spillway Incident webgage and Lake Oroville Recreation Page.
