Camp Fire Poses No Threat to Oroville Dam
DWR Continues to Monitor the Incident
DWR has recently received inquiries on the status of Oroville Dam. To avoid
any misconceptions the Department has issued the following statement.
1
There is no threat to Oroville Dam. The Department of Water Resources (DWR) is taking
precautionary measures detailed below to ensure the safety of other water infrastructure
including power plants and power lines.
DWR is just one of several state agencies and departments with employees and contractors
personally impacted by these most recent wildfires. Those who have requested it have been
given the ability to take leave to attend to their families. The Department will continue to
maintain sufficient staffing to monitor the incident around the clock.
DWR is in close communication with CAL FIRE, OES and local emergency managers to track
the status of this dynamic situation.
Oroville spillways and Thermalito construction operations have been shut down. DWR is
taking precautionary measures to protect infrastructure including wetting down the potentially
at-risk areas with water trucks, placing backup generators at key facilities in Oroville Field
Division for the possibility of a power outage or loss of the powerlines due to the fires, and
creating staffing plans to continue managing State Water Project operations remotely if
Oroville Field Division staff and facilities are evacuated.
Our sympathies are with those impacted by the Camp Fire, particularly those who have lost
their homes and loved ones. DWR values the strength and compassion of Butte County
communities and salutes the heroic efforts of federal, state and local first responders.
