Oroville Dam Spillway Explosion
posted by Brad Ford -
During the winter, heavy runoff caused the Oroville Dam spillway to break apart. The dam was at risk of collapse if the water continued over the spillway. Now a $275 million project is underway to repair the spillway. Explosives are being used to break apart the spillway.
