eco nazis deemed the spillway unsafe and in need of repair in 2005. the federal government under Bush said everything was fine. 

Really ? Bush fault ha?

that is something seeing as the dam is not a Fed dam but a state dam Built By California Department of water Recourses.

to bad the State of Cal was to busy spending Billions  on light rail instead of on maint they knew was needed but were not as sexy as a shiny new train for the homeless to use as a toilet .

nice fail though   

Oroville Dam is an earthfill embankment dam on the Feather River east of the city of Oroville, California, in the United States. At 770 feet (234.7 m) high, it is the tallest dam in the U.S.[7] and serves mainly for water supply, hydroelectricity generation and flood control. The dam impounds Lake Oroville, the second largest man-made lake in the state of California, capable of storing more than 3.5 million acre-feet (4.4 km3),[8] and is located in the Sierra Nevada foothills east of the Sacramento Valley.

Built by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), Oroville Dam is one of the key features of the California State Water Project (SWP), one of two major projects passed that set up California's statewide water system. Construction was initiated in 1961, and despite numerous difficulties encountered during its construction, including multiple floods and a major train wreck on the rail line used to transport materials to the dam site, the embankment was topped out in 1967 and the entire project was ready for use in 1968. The dam began to generate electricity after completion of the Edward Hyatt Pump-Generating Plant, then the country's largest underground power station.

Since its completion in 1968, the Oroville Dam has allocated the flow of the Feather River from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta into the State Water Project's California Aqueduct, which provides a major supply of water for irrigation in the San Joaquin Valley as well as municipal and industrial water supplies to coastal Southern California, and has prevented large amounts of flood damage to the area  – more than $1.3 billion between the years of 1987 and 1999.[9] The dam has confined fish migration up the Feather River and the controlled flow of the river as a result of the Oroville Dam has affected riparian habitat. Multiple aims at trying to counter the dam's impacts on anadromous fish have included the construction of a salmon/steelhead incubator on the river which began shortly after the dam was completed.

After heavy rains in February 2017, an anticipated failure of the auxiliary spillway resulted in the mass evacuation of people living or working in the river basin.

Indeed.  One of another one of their "fails".  But I will admit, they are still fun to witness.  Time, and time.....and time again.  Damn!  They are getting great at it too!
