An independent review of the Oroville Dam Spillway emergency is scheduled to start Wednesday.

The review will be done by a team from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

According to the preliminary schedule, the site inspections and meetings will run through Thursday, then the team will meet to come up with a list of possible causes for the spillway failure. Those causes will be taken into account for the interim spillways' designs next month.

A massive hole in the spillway opened up on February 7. This was followed by an immediate evacuation order for low levels of Oroville and areas downstream on February 12, as officials expected the emergency spillway would fail.

Last week the California Department of Water Resources revealed preliminary plans to repair the damaged spillway. Repairs to the main and emergency spillways will be completed in phases.

Even when phase one is complete, the new spillway will be designed to allow almost twice its historical outflow, or approximately 270,000 cubic feet of water per second.
