$15M fine levied on former Edenville Dam owner after Midland flood

$15M fine levied on former Edenville Dam owner after Midland flood Updated Apr 15, 2021; Facebook Share WASHINGTON, DC Federal regulators have imposed a $15 million fine against the former owner of a mid-Michigan dam that unleashed a 500-year flood last year, saying the company failed to perform important safety work after the disaster. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) announced Thursday, April 15, that it would assess the penalty against Boyce Hydro, a bankrupt company co-owned by Lee Mueller of Nevada that formerly operated the Edenville Dam. The Gladwin County dam failed last May, causing a downstream failure of the Sanford Dam and subsequent flooding in the village of Sanford, city of Midland and beyond.

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.
