California State Parks has closed off all recreation trails and areas and some roads in response to the damaged Oroville Dam spillway and the opening of the emergency spillway. The water behind the dam reached 100% today for the first time in 48 years. CAL FIRE Incident Management Team #3 is assisting and supporting the Department of Water Resources on managing the incident. DWR and CAL FIRE crews in past days have been clearing trees and brush from the path water is taking in the auxiliary spillway, which is an unlined hillside. The auxiliary spillway flows are expected to wash soil and debris into the Feather River. As of this afternoon, both the damaged spillway and the emergency spillway are open and carrying 6000 and 12,000 cfs.
