At the press conference Tuesday evening, the Department of Water Resources said its engineers were actively brainstorming a solution to fix the hole.

Officials said they have three or four days before they have to start letting the water spill again. If and when they do, the hole, estimated 180 feet wide by 250 feet long and 30 feet deep, will likely get bigger.

In the meantime, the DWR said it does not know what caused the erosion, but engineers are looking into a quick fix because of expected rain in the next few days.

Officials said they haven't had a release over the spillway like this since 2006, but the spillway's capacity was much higher than the 60,000 cubic feet of water per second that was coming down when the hole formed. Capacity is about 150,000 cfs.
