The main spillway is the chute with the hole. The auxillary/emergency spillway is to the left of it, above the road and the winding trail down the hill. That emergency spillway is right down being overtopped, the roadway is gone and the hillside eroding. That is the one they are saying will(?) fail - it is about 30 feet tall, so it will release 30’ of the water.
The press conference right now sounds like that spillway failure is not imminent.

I saw a recent (yesterday or earlier today probably) video of the area immediately below the emergency spillway; it was covered with large boulders, and they were pumping concrete into the spaces between them, essentially grouting them.
Hopefully, that will stabilize the spillway base.

There is a hole under the spillway.
It will fail, if not in the next hour, in the next 12-24 hours.
