Re:Areas near Sacramento evacuated as Oroville spillway coll... by manarth on Monday February 13, 2017 @07:52AM (#13634865)
There were concerns about the emergency spillway 12 years ago, but the request (to pave the emergency spillway with concrete) was rejected [1].

It was supposedly designed to handle 350,000 cubic feet per second, but began to fail at around 6,000 to 12,000 cubic feet per second.
