Wow almost every statement here is wrong.

#1: the dam is managed in the winter about 1 million acre feet below the top, for flood control purposes. The spillway has been operating all winter long.

#2: The operator cannot decide to use the emergency spillway. Water just goes over it when it approaches the top of the dam.

#3: no water has gone over the dam. That would destroy it.
