(N.Morgan) In this last couple of weeks all eyes have been riveted on
Oroville Dam, but now attention is shifting south to Morgan Hill and Anderson Reservoir.
Anderson Reservoir is rapidly filling up and over its recommended capacity. The reservoir is only supposed to be at 68 percent capacity, but it is at 100.04% capacity.
Water is being released at 400 cubic feet per second, and into the spillway.
Already officials from Santa Clara Valley Water District have been dumping water as fast as they can from the reservoir, but it simply isn’t enough to offset the water streaming in from all the rain we’ve seen this winter.
That outlet has been fully open since January 9th releasing water into Coyote Creek at the rate of 400 cubic feet per second.
The concern is over the dam’s seismic safety.
The danger would lie in the possibility of a magnitude 7.25 quake on the nearby Calaveras fault.
The water district tells KTVU that is a remote possibility, but one of which they are aware.
That is why they’re working so hard to dump water as quickly as possible.
The California Department of Water Resources suspended overflow from the Oroville Dam after gushing water ripped open a sinkhole in the middle of the spillway.
Engineers assessed the options and opened up a secondary, emergency spillway on Saturday morning was at maximum capacity.

> 5 Largest Dams in California >

> The rugged topography of California, with its sloping mountain ranges and rapids-filled rivers, is
> corralled by hundreds of man-made dams. < - -
> The structures provide hydroelectricity to the state’s major cities, offer flood control and form reservoirs for municipal water supply. Most of the largest dams fall under the regulatory jurisdiction of the California Department of Water Resources, which maintains a database of dam data. While dam size can be measured by a variety of statistics, such as materials volume, drainage area or other figures, its height -- the distance in feet between the dam crest elevation and the lowest elevation of the outside limit of the dam -- is the primary index in determining California’s five largest dams.

> Oroville Dam > -

Not just California’s tallest dam, the Oroville Dam in Butte County is also the largest dam in the United States at 742 feet, according to the state’s Division of Safety of Dams. Completed in 1968, the massive earth fill structure spans the Feather River and serves three main purposes: hydropower generation, flood control and irrigation in surrounding communities. The Oroville Dam also manages an incredible amount of water; its full capacity measures 3,537,577 acre-feet, and it boasts a drainage area of 3,607 square miles.

> New Bullards Bar Dam > -

Significantly shorter than the Oroville Dam, the New Bullards Bar Dam in Yuba County was completed in 1970 and stands an impressive 635 feet tall. Built across the North Yuba River, the variable radius arch concrete structure provides a reservoir capacity of 969,900 acre-feet and a drainage area of 481 square miles. Like the Oroville Dam, New Bullards Bar generates power, drinking water, flood control and irrigation for the surrounding communities.

> New Melones Dam > -

This earth and rockfill structure, managed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, measures 625 feet tall and spans the Stanislaus River on the boundary between Calaveras and Tuolumne counties. The dam, completed in 1978, replaced the older Melones dam, a 183-foot tall structure that is now submerged under the New Melones Lake reservoir, which has a capacity of 2.4 million acre-feet. Primarily, the New Melones Dam provides flood control for communities in the central Sierra Nevada foothills; an adjacent power plant downstream from the dam generates electricity for the equivalent of 72,000 households.

> Shasta Dam > -
The 602-foot Shasta Dam, on the Sacramento River in Shasta County, boasts several similarities to America’s largest dam outside California -- the Hoover Dam. Like its Nevada cousin, the Shasta Dam is a curved gravity concrete structure; upon its completion in 1945, it ranked as a civil engineering triumph due to its continuous pour concrete construction. Shasta Lake, the resulting man-made reservoir with a capacity of 4,552,000 acre-feet, is a popular recreation area. Shasta Dam is managed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and generates hydroelectric power for northern California.

> New Don Pedro Dam > -

At 580 feet, the New Don Pedro Dam was completed in 1971, replacing a 1923 structure. The first dam had a minimal 289,000 acre-feet capacity, while the newer dam’s capacity totals 2,030,000 acre-feet and provides water for crop irrigation on 5,800 farms, power generation, flood control and public recreation. The earth embankment dam spans the Tuolumne River in Tuolumne County.
