You’re welcome! Per that link, if I understood correctly, the Army Corps had/has to approve each draw down. If true, now I’m wondering about the Army Corps’ involvement in this mess.

Also wondering about the observed drop in water level. Great news, but how do they know the dam hasn’t sprung a leak elsewhere? Probably an idiot question, but I just thought I’d ask anyone who’d care to reply.

"Table IV-2. Project Design Flows of the Lower Feather River

Oroville to Honcut 210,000

Honcut to Yuba River 210,000

Yuba River to Bear River 300,000

Bear River to Sutter 320,000

Bypass Yuba River 120k * 180,000 cfs when Feather River flows are low. "

******************

Looks like 100k cfs should not be a big problem. Mud, silt and debris on the other hand...

I’m sure release decisions have been made as byzantine as possible so that later it is impossible to fix the blame.
