Oroville Dam Emergency Recovery Presentation Summary: On February 7, 2017, erosion was discovered on the lower chute of the main flood control spillway at Lake Oroville. With an onslaught of winter storms, releases down the damaged main spillway were unable to prevent the reservoir from over-topping the concrete weir. Water cascaded down the emergency spillway, triggering the evacuation of more than 180,000 people downstream of Lake Oroville on February 11. January and February were the wettest in 110 years for the Feather River watershed. With public safety as a top priority, DWR successfully managed design and construction of the spillways to bring them to an operational capacity (safely pass 100,000 cubic feet per second) prior to the next flood season. The first phase of construction included:
Removal and reconstruction of 2,270 feet of the main spillway with a combination of structural concrete and roller-compacted concrete so the spillway can handle flows of 100,000 cubic feet per second.
Repairs to the uppermost 730-foot portion of the main spillway that connects to the radial gates. This portion will be demolished and reconstructed in 2018.
Come listen to Dale Brown, PE - Supervising Engineer with the CA DWR discuss the Oroville Spillway Incident from the DWR's perspective with a focus on the fast paced design / construction.
The 2018 Edmund Friedman Young Engineer Award for Professional Achievement was awarded to Sean Robinson, P.E., ENV SP, M. ASCE from the ASCE Southern Nevada Branch for: “Professional achievement in service to the advancement of the profession, evidence of technical competence, high character and integrity, and contributions to public service outside their career.” www.ascetruckeemeadows.org
