SUMMARY Starting on February 7, 2017, a scour hole formed in the concrete-lined Gated Spillway chute at Oroville Dam. Continued intermittent releases between February and May 2017 led to further damage of the Gated Spillway chute and the creation of a large erosion scour channel to the left of the lower chute. During this time, the unlined Emergency Spillway was used for the first time to release reservoir flows. Significant erosion and scour of the weathered rock at the unlined 120
