SITUATION
Current This afternoon,the Department of Water Resources increased outflow from the Oroville Dam flood
Situation: control spillway,from 55,OOOcfs to 60,000cfs.
This proactive measure is typical of normal flood control operations and is in anticipation of
forecasted weather conditions.The increase is temporary and is expected to better balance water
flow in and out of the reservoir.
These measures are consistent with DWR's established plan objectives to continually manage lake
levels,water flow,and support construction activities.
Despite current inclement weather,work continues on the area below the spillway,the monoliths,
access roads,and various eroded areas created by emergency spillway runoff. Rock,aggregate,and
cement slurry continue to be placed into areas affected by erosion.This work will continue 24 hours a
day.
DWR continues to aggressively monitor the status of the dam,spillways,the Hyatt Power Plant,
related structures,and progress of repair activities.
For information on lake conditions;including lake levels, inflows, and outflows you can visit the
following website. http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cdecapp/resapp/resDetailOrie.action?resid=ORO
Evacuation An evacuation center will remain open at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds.All other evacuation centers
Centers: supported by Butte County will be closed. Residents from other centers who are still seeking shelter,
