Seems to be the core issue with DWR and Moonbeam's government in general.
I would add, DWR appears more concerned with PR than with the safety of those living below the dam.
Are other large California dams likely to have to use their spillways during this year’s spring melt?
If so, do we know anything about the status of their spillways, and their ability to handle an unusually large spring melt when they are already nearly full?
Shasta stores more water than Oroville.
Trinity apparently has significantly less peak release capacity than needed in a major event, and is already nearly full.
Somehow I suspect neither of these dams has been properly maintained.
