water levels at lake oroville continue to drop this evening - preventing more water from spilling over the dam's potentially hazardous emergency spillway. although this is good news - butte county sheriff kory honea says, the evacuation orders remain in effect until futher notice. "this is still a dynamic situation, a situation we're trying to assess the damage. we need to make...we need to have time to make sure that before we allow people back to those areas, it is safe to do so. so i want to make it clear. evacuation is still in effect." and those evacuation orders may not be lifted until the damage barrier at the dam is repaired. sheriff honea gave no timetable for the work. the problem at lake oroville started when a massive hole opened up in the main spillway. the hole...30 feet

deep...200 feet wide. that issue prompted water managers to stop using the main spillway... that meant water in the that meant water in the lake...swollen from all this winters storms...started coming over the emergency spillway. the emergency spillway is just dirt and rocks... and with all the pressure from the water level so high... the concern...especially yesterday...was that the dirt and rock could collapse...

and that would mean a 30 foot wall of water would come charging down this dirt hill... some into the feather river...but tons and tons would keep coming downstream...flooding towns as far south as marysville...30 miles south of the lake. we are also now learning ... that environmentalists raised concerns áyears ago about the stability of the emergency spillway at the oroville dam... but state officials insisted... the structure was safe. this is what the emergency spillway looks like today... water is no longer spilling over - but you can see the damage it left behind from this weekends spillover. back in 2005 - three advocacy groups filed a motion - with the federal energy regulatory commission - saying, the dam's spillway would cause significant erosion because it was not lined with concrete. the groups warned.... the soil, rocks and debris could be

swept into the feather river, potentially damaging bridges and power plants. the group argued, it could also cause a failure of the dam itself, threatening lives and property. acting head of california's department of water resources, said today, he was not familiar with the 2005 warnings and could not comment. here's a list of a few evacuation centers. the red cross has set up in chico ...at the silver dollar fairgrounds . on fair street. the glenn county fairgrounds on east yolo street and in paradise.. the elks lodge has opened its rv park to evacuees...at now cost. space is limited in the rv park. in woodland- the yolo county fairgrounds is also open for those who need to stay there. for a full list of evacuation centers in the area- go to kron4.com. more than a 12-hundred evacuees are at the evacuation center ... at the silver dollar fairgrounds in chico. that's about 20 miles north of oroville. kron four's spencer blake is live there
