The Oroville Dam, the tallest earthen dam in the US, suffered damage to its Flood Control Outlet (FCO) during flood operations in February 2017. This led to erosion and the first-ever use of the Emergency Spillway, prompting the evacuation of nearly 200,000 downstream residents. The Department of Water Resources (DWR) swiftly assembled a recovery team to devise short- and long-term repair solutions ahead of the 2017-2018 winter. These efforts included implementing an automated monitoring program.
