Interesting to note that it looks like they might be working on adding shotcrete to the area at the end of the upper spillway, where it ramps down into the plunge pool.

They’re also taking core samples around the emergency spillway, for geological assessment.

I’m also noting that inflows have been a bit lower, between about 23,000 and 28,000 resulting in a slowing down of the increase in water levels in the Oroville Reservoir.

Interesting that core samples are being taken on the “upstream” side of the emergency spillway.

If they are just now putting more shotcrete under the main spillway,
they must not plan on releasing any more water for several more days.
