The sheer scale of the damage to the spillway is gigantic. How are they possibly going to fill in the eroded canyon between the broken end of the spillway and the river? It looks like a multiyear project to fix the spillway — can it possibly be done in 6 or 7 months? What state will it be in for the new rainy season starting Oct or Nov 2017?

They don't have that long. The 20 foot snowpack in the Sierra-Nevada range will start melting very soon. That water has to go somewhere!

Good point. I’m so used to the past five years of drought and thinking that you would have all summer and fall with a completely dry spillway. It’s interesting that there have been no updates on plans and schedules on how to fix the spillway and how to prepare for all the coming snowmelt.
