Race on to fix Oroville Dam's damaged emergency spillway
Workers are expected on Monday to begin repairing erosion at the emergency spillway at Lake Oroville that threatened to flood downstream towns and forced more than 100,000 people from their homes Sunday.
Officials said they would use bags of rocks to try to plug the hole at the emergency spillway.
It appeared prep work was beginning Monday morning.
They emphasized the situation remains dangerous at the reservoir and urged residents in communities along the Feather River to evacuate to higher ground.
