Oroville Dam Spillway Failure 2017

Livingston, Texas – The Trinity River Authority is advising initial repairs to the Lake Livingston Dam Spillway will be completed Monday afternoon prior to the arrival of major flooding from Beryl.

Crews have been working around the clock to repair the dam’s spillway which was damaged from recent flooding. On June 28th the river authority released a declaration of a “potential failure watch.” A Dam Damage Assessment was implemented to address the issues in accordance with Federal guidelines regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

The River Authority stated “the dam will be able to pass high-flow events without impacting the integrity of the dam.”

In 2017 a spillway failure at the Oroville Dam in California resulted in the evacuation of over 180,000 people downstream.
