Mar 27, 2024, at 5am the water started spilling for the first time in 25 years. Just last December, the lake was down to 22% of capacity.

An inspection of the spillway was ordered in 2017. Hopefully, any probems that were found have been fixed. [CalCoastNews]
I have not been able to find a good overview photo of the dam and its spillway. So I'll go with a satelite image.

I hope the USACE maintins the dam better than they do their website. The "Dam & Reservoir Data" link on their Lopez webpage returns an error. The dam was built in 1955.
