Most earthen dams are made from fill dirt and rocks to a large extent. This water is washing the dirt and smaller rocks downstream.

There is a hole under the emergency spillway.

All bets are off. The spillway wall is 1700 ft long and 30 feet high.

The lake would drain about 1 million acre feet in an hour.
