The project is revegetating approximately 70 acres with seed and replanting six acres of woody vegetation surrounding Oroville Dam’s spillways, further enhancing the appearance of the dam’s hillside. Members of the public will see heavy equipment and grading work in areas surrounding both spillways and along the Diversion Pool. Work in 2026 will include grading and seeding areas of the hillside to establish native grasses, with completion of the first phase expected by November.
