I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

They range from isolated comments at one hearing, to repeated unwanted come-ons, to lewd remarks and even groping on the House floor.

Barbara Boxer, after describing an incident at a hearing in the 1980s where a male colleague made a sexually suggestive comment. The colleague, using the traditional congressional parlance, said he wanted to \"associate\" himself with her remarks -- adding afterward that he also wanted to \"associate with the gentle lady.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer said the comment was met with general laughter and an approving second from the committee chairman.

It's hostile and embarrasses, and therefore could take away a person's power,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer and the other female lawmakers spoke on the record to tell their stories in the wake of revelations about Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's serial attacks on women, as well as disclosures from current and former Capitol Hill staffers about harassment by lawmakers and aides. Those accounts, published in The Washington Post and elsewhere, revealed that Congress has few training or reporting requirements in place to deal with sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Largely untold before now is that some female lawmakers themselves say they have been harassed by male colleagues. While rare, the accounts raise troubling questions about the boys' club environment in Congress where male lawmakers can feel empowered to target not only staffers but even their own peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawmakers declined to identify the perpetrators by name, but at least two of the men continue to serve in the House. None of the female lawmakers interviewed reported what happened, and some noted it was not clear where they would lodge such a complaint. At least three of the four told friends or aides about the incidents, which in some cases were witnessed by other lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I was a very new member of Congress in my early 30s, there was a more senior member who outright propositioned me, who was married, and despite trying to laugh it off and brush it aside it, would repeat. And I would avoid that member,\" said Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif. She added that she would warn other new female members about the lawmaker in question, but she declined to identify him, while saying he remains in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just don't think it would be helpful\" to call the lawmaker out by name, Sanchez said. \"The problem is, as a member there's no HR department you can go to, there's nobody you can turn to. Ultimately they're employed by their constituents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez also said that a different male colleague repeatedly ogled her, and at one point touched her inappropriately on the House floor, while trying to make it appear accidental. She declined to identify the lawmaker but said he was no longer in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bono said she ultimately confronted her colleague on the House floor after he'd made repeated harassing comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bono, who arrived in the House at age 36 to replace her husband Sonny Bono after he died in a skiing accident, said it seemed like the lawmaker didn't know how to talk to a woman as an equal. \"Instead of being 'how's the weather, how's your career, how's your bill,' it was 'I thought about you while I was in the shower.' So it was a matter of saying to him 'That's not cool, that's just not cool.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bono declined to identify the lawmaker, saying the behavior stopped after she finally challenged him. He still serves in Congress, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is a man's world, it's still a man's world,\" Bono said. \"Not being a flirt and not being a bitch. That was my rule, to try to walk that fine line.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Rep. Hilda Solis, now a Los Angeles County supervisor, recalls repeated unwanted harassing overtures from one lawmaker, though she declined to name him or go into detail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think I'm the only one. What I tried to do was ignore it, turn away, walk away. Obviously it's offensive. Are you supposed to be flattered? No, we're adults. Not appropriate,\" said Solis, who left Congress in 2009 to join the Obama administration as labor secretary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's humiliating, even though they may have thought they were being cute. No, it's not. It's not appropriate. I'm your colleague, but he doesn't see me that way, and that's a problem,\" Solis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The experiences occurred against the backdrop of broader gender inequities in Congress, where women remain a distinct minority, making up only about 20 percent of members in the House and Senate. That's up from fewer than 10 percent in the quarter-century since politics' Year of the Woman in 1992. That election season, large numbers of women sought office following hearings by the then-all-male Senate Judiciary Committee over Anita Hill's testimony about alleged sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas, who was subsequently confirmed to the Supreme Court, albeit by a narrow margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The increase in numbers and the prominence of a few individual women, such as House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, has not resulted in parity in all measures, nor eliminated the potential for male members to demean or even harass their female counterparts. Nonetheless, a few former female lawmakers contacted by The AP expressed surprise and even disbelief at the notion that lawmakers themselves could be victims of harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Jackie Speier of California has recently gone public with an account of being sexually assaulted by a male chief of staff while she was a congressional staffer. She has criticized the vague rules in place on the issue and is preparing legislation to mandate sexual harassment training for congressional offices, among other changes. In a video posted to Twitter last week, she called Congress \"a breeding ground for a hostile work environment\" and encouraged others to come forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet when it comes to lawmakers themselves, Speier said: \"I think the women in Congress are big girls. The equalizer that exists in Congress that doesn't exist in other settings is that we all get paid the same amount and we all have a vote, the same vote. So if you have members that are demeaning you it's because you're letting them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Rep. Ellen Tauscher of California flatly argued that harassment can't take place between members of Congress. \"Female members and male members are equals, they don't sexually harass each other,\" Tauscher said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the law specifies that harassment can occur between equals, said Jennifer Drobac, a professor at the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, who teaches a course in sexual harassment law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Formally, two members of Congress may have the same status. That doesn't change the fact that sexual harassment can occur between peers,\" Drobac said, noting that numerous other factors can come into play, including the difference in age and length of service between the members, and the mere fact that men have more power in society than women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed the harassment or hostile incidents experienced by current and former lawmakers occurred when they were young newcomers to Congress, with less seniority than the men who targeted them. Yet the fact that some dispute whether harassment could even occur between members of Congress underscores the complexity of the issue and the fraught questions surrounding it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bono said she found power in confronting her harasser, and that after she did so it never happened again. She emphasized that she understood her experience was different than those of young staffers who may face harassment from someone they rely on for a job, and that she was fortunate because as an equal elected by her constituents, she would not fear retaliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bono strongly disputed any suggestion that she or any other female lawmaker could not be harassed by their peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My career didn't suffer, I didn't suffer,\" Bono said. \"But it did happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Follow Erica Werner on Twitter @ericawerner and Juliet Linderman @julietlinderman\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

She said she later asked that it be removed from the record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was an example of the way I think we were thought of, a lot of us. ... It's hostile and embarrasses, and therefore could take away a person's power,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer and the other female lawmakers spoke on the record to tell their stories in the wake of revelations about Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's serial attacks on women, as well as disclosures from current and former Capitol Hill staffers about harassment by lawmakers and aides. Those accounts, published in The Washington Post and elsewhere, revealed that Congress has few training or reporting requirements in place to deal with sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Largely untold before now is that some female lawmakers themselves say they have been harassed by male colleagues. While rare, the accounts raise troubling questions about the boys' club environment in Congress where male lawmakers can feel empowered to target not only staffers but even their own peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawmakers declined to identify the perpetrators by name, but at least two of the men continue to serve in the House. None of the female lawmakers interviewed reported what happened, and some noted it was not clear where they would lodge such a complaint. At least three of the four told friends or aides about the incidents, which in some cases were witnessed by other lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I was a very new member of Congress in my early 30s, there was a more senior member who outright propositioned me, who was married, and despite trying to laugh it off and brush it aside it, would repeat. And I would avoid that member,\" said Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif. She added that she would warn other new female members about the lawmaker in question, but she declined to identify him, while saying he remains in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just don't think it would be helpful\" to call the lawmaker out by name, Sanchez said. \"The problem is, as a member there's no HR department you can go to, there's nobody you can turn to. Ultimately they're employed by their constituents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez also said that a different male colleague repeatedly ogled her, and at one point touched her inappropriately on the House floor, while trying to make it appear accidental. She declined to identify the lawmaker but said he was no longer in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bono said she ultimately confronted her colleague on the House floor after he'd made repeated harassing comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bono, who arrived in the House at age 36 to replace her husband Sonny Bono after he died in a skiing accident, said it seemed like the lawmaker didn't know how to talk to a woman as an equal. \"Instead of being 'how's the weather, how's your career, how's your bill,' it was 'I thought about you while I was in the shower.' So it was a matter of saying to him 'That's not cool, that's just not cool.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bono declined to identify the lawmaker, saying the behavior stopped after she finally challenged him. He still serves in Congress, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is a man's world, it's still a man's world,\" Bono said. \"Not being a flirt and not being a bitch. That was my rule, to try to walk that fine line.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Rep. Hilda Solis, now a Los Angeles County supervisor, recalls repeated unwanted harassing overtures from one lawmaker, though she declined to name him or go into detail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think I'm the only one. What I tried to do was ignore it, turn away, walk away. Obviously it's offensive. Are you supposed to be flattered? No, we're adults. Not appropriate,\" said Solis, who left Congress in 2009 to join the Obama administration as labor secretary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's humiliating, even though they may have thought they were being cute. No, it's not. It's not appropriate. I'm your colleague, but he doesn't see me that way, and that's a problem,\" Solis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The experiences occurred against the backdrop of broader gender inequities in Congress, where women remain a distinct minority, making up only about 20 percent of members in the House and Senate. That's up from fewer than 10 percent in the quarter-century since politics' Year of the Woman in 1992. That election season, large numbers of women sought office following hearings by the then-all-male Senate Judiciary Committee over Anita Hill's testimony about alleged sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas, who was subsequently confirmed to the Supreme Court, albeit by a narrow margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The increase in numbers and the prominence of a few individual women, such as House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, has not resulted in parity in all measures, nor eliminated the potential for male members to demean or even harass their female counterparts. Nonetheless, a few former female lawmakers contacted by The AP expressed surprise and even disbelief at the notion that lawmakers themselves could be victims of harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Jackie Speier of California has recently gone public with an account of being sexually assaulted by a male chief of staff while she was a congressional staffer. She has criticized the vague rules in place on the issue and is preparing legislation to mandate sexual harassment training for congressional offices, among other changes. In a video posted to Twitter last week, she called Congress \"a breeding ground for a hostile work environment\" and encouraged others to come forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet when it comes to lawmakers themselves, Speier said: \"I think the women in Congress are big girls. The equalizer that exists in Congress that doesn't exist in other settings is that we all get paid the same amount and we all have a vote, the same vote. So if you have members that are demeaning you it's because you're letting them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Rep. Ellen Tauscher of California flatly argued that harassment can't take place between members of Congress. \"Female members and male members are equals, they don't sexually harass each other,\" Tauscher said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the law specifies that harassment can occur between equals, said Jennifer Drobac, a professor at the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, who teaches a course in sexual harassment law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Formally, two members of Congress may have the same status. That doesn't change the fact that sexual harassment can occur between peers,\" Drobac said, noting that numerous other factors can come into play, including the difference in age and length of service between the members, and the mere fact that men have more power in society than women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed the harassment or hostile incidents experienced by current and former lawmakers occurred when they were young newcomers to Congress, with less seniority than the men who targeted them. Yet the fact that some dispute whether harassment could even occur between members of Congress underscores the complexity of the issue and the fraught questions surrounding it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bono said she found power in confronting her harasser, and that after she did so it never happened again. She emphasized that she understood her experience was different than those of young staffers who may face harassment from someone they rely on for a job, and that she was fortunate because as an equal elected by her constituents, she would not fear retaliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bono strongly disputed any suggestion that she or any other female lawmaker could not be harassed by their peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My career didn't suffer, I didn't suffer,\" Bono said. \"But it did happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Rising temperatures are undermining the source of one-third of Southern California’s drinking water: the Colorado River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/EI-D-17-0007.1\">A new study by the U.S. Geological Survey\u003c/a> finds the river’s flow has shrunk by about 7 percent over the past 30 years. As air temperature rises due to increasing emissions of greenhouse gases, more water is sucked into the atmosphere from the snowpack and the river itself instead of flowing downstream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount that has evaporated is equal to approximately 24 percent of the total amount of California's annual Colorado River allocation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These are pretty significant amounts that are being lost as temperatures have gone up,\" said lead author Gregory McCabe, a climate scientist with USGS in Denver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is sobering news for Southern California, where Colorado River supplies were a lifeline during the recent five-year drought.

Two of the costliest tax breaks — for mortgage interest and gifts to charity — were declared off-limits at the outset, although the draft plan limits the mortgage deduction on future home purchases to loans of $500,000, down from the current $1 million. Efforts to curtail other popular breaks — for retirement savings and state and local taxes — have faced pushback from the White House and Republicans in high-tax states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The draft bill released by the House Ways and Means Committee would reduce the number of individual tax rates from seven to four: 12 percent, 25 percent, 35 percent and 39.6 percent. The bill nearly doubles the standard deduction, which will make tax filing easier for some people. However, it eliminates personal exemptions, which could adversely affect larger families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As expected, the corporate tax rate would drop from 35 percent to 20 percent. And the bill would establish a lower tax rate of 25 percent for so-called \"pass through\" businesses such as partnerships that currently pay taxes at their owners' individual rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump suggested the reduced corporate tax rate would help to spur economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At 20 percent, we're very, very competitive with the rest of the world,\" Trump said during a White House meeting to celebrate the bill's release. \"You're going to see growth and you're going to see jobs and you're going to see really wages going up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"jhakk7Q4TuUoJFASA4QA4sksu3AzpKYa\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill also aims to encourage business investment by allowing companies to deduct those costs immediately, rather than spreading the deduction over a period of years.

In an effort to mollify House Republicans from those states, drafters included a provision to allow taxpayers to deduct up to $10,000 in local property taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer of New York warned that the GOP push to limit tax breaks would leave some families paying more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Republicans are trying to argue that the middle class gets a tax break,\" Schumer said. \"But what they won't tell you is that many, many, many middle-class families will see their taxes go up under this plan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lower limit on mortgage interest that's tax deductible is sure to invite opposition from the housing industry, a powerful player in Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Eliminating or nullifying the tax incentives for homeownership puts home values and middle-class homeowners at risk,\" said William E. Brown, president of the National Association of Realtors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Ways and Means Committee plans to take up the draft tax bill next week, with an eye toward a House vote before Thanksgiving.

And the bill would establish a lower tax rate of 25 percent for so-called \"pass through\" businesses such as partnerships that currently pay taxes at their owners' individual rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump suggested the reduced corporate tax rate would help to spur economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At 20 percent, we're very, very competitive with the rest of the world,\" Trump said during a White House meeting to celebrate the bill's release. \"You're going to see growth and you're going to see jobs and you're going to see really wages going up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill also aims to encourage business investment by allowing companies to deduct those costs immediately, rather than spreading the deduction over a period of years. However, this provision is scheduled to sunset after five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Multinational corporations would no longer be taxed on profits earned overseas, although the plan would establish a minimum tax rate of 10 percent on foreign subsidiaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats blasted the GOP plan as a giveaway to corporations and the wealthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The American people deserve real, bipartisan tax reform that puts the middle class first, [creates] good-paying jobs and lowers the deficit,\" said House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California. \"This Republican plan doesn't do any of that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although House lawmakers floated the idea of limiting tax breaks for retirement savings, the draft bill unveiled today would preserve the deduction for 401(k)-style savings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would eliminate the deduction for state and local income taxes, a move that's particularly costly in high-tax states such as New York, New Jersey, and California. In an effort to mollify House Republicans from those states, drafters included a provision to allow taxpayers to deduct up to $10,000 in local property taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer of New York warned that the GOP push to limit tax breaks would leave some families paying more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Republicans are trying to argue that the middle class gets a tax break,\" Schumer said. \"But what they won't tell you is that many, many, many middle-class families will see their taxes go up under this plan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lower limit on mortgage interest that's tax deductible is sure to invite opposition from the housing industry, a powerful player in Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Eliminating or nullifying the tax incentives for homeownership puts home values and middle-class homeowners at risk,\" said William E. Brown, president of the National Association of Realtors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Ways and Means Committee plans to take up the draft tax bill next week, with an eye toward a House vote before Thanksgiving. Trump is eager to sign a tax overhaul by December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The chute was designed in the 1960s to handle a maximum flow of 277,000 cfs, and its highest release ever was about 160,000 cfs, in January 1997. The spillway was discharging about 50,000 cfs when it began to break apart in early February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Petersen, who's heading the $500 million-plus construction project for contractor Kiewit Infrastructure West, said he's \"very confident\" the spillway will stand up to high flows this winter.

Forecast models suggest that as much as 5 inches of rain could fall in the Feather River watershed that feeds into Lake Oroville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crews are also working on a project to shore up the dam's emergency spillway -- an unpaved hillside adjacent to the concrete chute. Crews are building a massive wall consisting of piles driven as much as 65 feet, down to strong rock. That project is expected to be finished by January.

Jim Nielsen and Assemblyman James Gallagher -- who said that independent experts, not the water agency, should carry out the needs assessment.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>All Concrete in Place\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>At the direction of federal regulators, DWR had set Nov. 1 as the deadline for completing the initial round of repairs and rebuilding needed to allow the spillway to withstand heavy flows of water during the coming winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That marked the last major step, for now, of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/23/rebuilding-oroville-spillway-with-the-rainy-season-just-around-the-corner/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a massive construction project\u003c/a> that got underway in May before the spillway design was even close to complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project involved extensive patching of a 730-foot section of the upper spillway; building two brand-new sections of spillway -- a total of about 1,200 feet -- to modern specifications; and filling in the 1,050-foot midsection, which included a crater more than 200 feet deep, with roller-compacted concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demolishing and replacing the patched upper section and revamping the rough midsection will be the focus of work beginning next year, after the end of the current rainy season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11627571\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/KJ_oroville_0945_10_30_17-e1509589834274.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11627571\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/KJ_oroville_0945_10_30_17-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oroville Dam's main spillway on Monday, Oct. 30, two days before the deadline for preparing the structure to handle potential winter releases from Lake Oroville. \u003ccite>(Ken James/California Department of Water Resources)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>DWR says the interim spillway is designed to handle flows up to 100,000 cubic feet per second if releases from Lake Oroville are necessary this winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That flow volume, equivalent to the amount of water cascading over Niagara Falls during daytime \"tourist hours,\" is relatively rare. The chute was designed in the 1960s to handle a maximum flow of 277,000 cfs, and its highest release ever was about 160,000 cfs, in January 1997. The spillway was discharging about 50,000 cfs when it began to break apart in early February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Petersen, who's heading the $500 million-plus construction project for contractor Kiewit Infrastructure West, said he's \"very confident\" the spillway will stand up to high flows this winter. He also noted some spillway details remain to be completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now we just have to finish the concrete,\" Petersen said. \"The dry finish work and the joint sealant work you'll see continue inside the spillway.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Wet Weather on the Way\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The work in the spillway is wrapping up for the season just as a series of relatively robust early-season storms head for California. Forecast models suggest that as much as 5 inches of rain could fall in the Feather River watershed that feeds into Lake Oroville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crews are also working on a project to shore up the dam's emergency spillway -- an unpaved hillside adjacent to the concrete chute. Crews are building a massive wall consisting of piles driven as much as 65 feet, down to strong rock. That project is expected to be finished by January. Later in the year, crews will build a concrete buttress and \"splash pad\" on the upper reaches of the emergency channel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of that work is designed to prevent the kind of erosion that gouged deep channels into the hillside last February.
