Inspection photos. Open it up and rip it up. They can rebuild this summer.

Great pics! Thanks!

I have worked on several Hydro Power projects. The operators hate to spill water for this reason. It tears up the spillway.

Would using the damaged spillway risk eroding the entire structure?

I'm not an expert on this subject but take a look at picture #8. The damage appears to be close to the end of the spillway. If the water level continues to rise, they will have to control the spill. Shutdown and inspect. They will repeat this process until the situation is stabilized or failure is anticipated.
