Michigan Dams Still Need Fixing a Year After Failure

Michigan Dams Still Need Fixing a Year After Failure A year later, residents are looking at $215 million price to restore the emptied lakes with the earliest dams of four area dams completed by 2024 and the latest by 2026. Residents will be assessed to pay for the repairs. May 19, 2021 •  (TNS) - While the reasons for the Edenville Dam s failure a year ago Wednesday are clear a poorly maintained dam unable to keep back historic rainfall holding those responsible accountable and fixing the policy failures that allowed the structure to skirt safety standards for years have been less straight forward. After Edenville Dam gave way on May 19, 2020 , and overwhelmed the downstream Sanford Dam pushing about 10,000 Midland -area residents to evacuate government documents revealed years of non-compliance with state and federal standards, a fumbled hand-off of oversight between the feds and state, and an underfunded dam safety effort ill-equipped to hold the dam owner to task.

Feds fine Boyce Hydro Power for Midland-area dam safety violations

Feds fine Boyce Hydro Power for Midland-area dam safety violations The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has fined Boyce Hydro Power LLC $15 millon for numerous dam safety violations at three of the company’s hydroelectric projects in Midland and Gladwin counties, the agency announced Thursday. Boyce Hydro owned multiple dams in the Midland area that collapsed in May of 2020 and caused massive property damage, emptied lakes and caused the evacuation of 10,000 homes. The damage occurred during historic rains that breached the Edenville Dam on May 19 by punching through the earthen embankment of the dam to send a surge of water down the Tittabawassee River. The surge overwhelmed the Sanford Dam and flooded the Midland area.

$15M fine for Edenville Dam owner proposed by federal regulators

$15M fine for Edenville Dam owner proposed by federal regulators Updated Jan 27, 2021; Facebook Share BAY CITY, MI Federal regulators want to levy a $15 million civil fine against the operator of a failed hydroelectric dam that unleashed flooding in mid-Michigan last spring, but creditors and a bankruptcy case trustee are pushing back, arguing such a large penalty would upend proceedings and jeopardize a settlement fund for flood victims. Mark H. Shapiro, a Southfield attorney who is trustee in the Boyce Hydro bankruptcy case, warned the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) earlier this month that imposing such a penalty against the beleaguered dam operator would “wreak havoc” on its plan to exit bankruptcy and pay off creditors and victims of the May 2020 flood.
