In the fall of 2019, city officials met with representatives of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to discuss the potential condition of the dam. It was determined at that meeting the dam was in a state of failure due to it’s age and condition of the sheet panels that make up the dam.
Stantec Consulting was approved to develop plans to remove the dam and design bank stabilization to return Portage Creek back to it’s natural state, according to the city agenda packet.
