The Butte County Sheriff’s Office said a failure of the spillway may cause “uncontrolled release” of flood waters from Lake Oroville.

The state Department of Water Resources did not elaborate on the emergency, but said just before 4:45 p.m. that the “auxiliary spillway at the dam was predicted to fail within the hour.” Officials have increased water releases out of the primary spillway to 100,000 cubic feet per second.

The amount of water gushing over Lake Oroville’s emergency spillway had begun to decrease before the emergency Sunday as state officials pushed ahead with urgent measures to make room in the state’s second-largest reservoir to avoid a repetition of the weekend’s extraordinary event.
