THEY WEREN'T HANDLING THEIR BUSINESS.


Federal regulators in 2018 revoked the hydropower generating license for the collapsed Edenville Dam in Midland and Gladwin counties, citing years of failure by the dam's owners to address safety problems — especially the dam's ability to withstand a major flood.

With its power permit revoked, the Edenville Dam's regulation fell to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy. However, an EGLE inspection of the dam in October 2018 found it in "fair" condition, despite FERC's alarming findings only about a month earlier.



FERC's dam safety guidelines require a dam be designed to withstand "overtopping," when high water loads being held back by a dam spill over its top, or that it have spillways that can alleviate water levels "that would endanger the safety of the project works" and "constitute a hazard to downstream life or property."

"Currently, spillway capacity at the Edenville Project can only pass about 50 percent of the PMF," FERC wrote in its 2018 revocation order.

Money...follow the money...without money nothing was going to get improved so how was removing money supposed to help the situation?

There were 2 Dam inspectors in the state. The reds cut government inspectors and regulation every chance they get. The Reds love privatizing everything. You know the owners only care about squeezing profits for themselves. So they cut corners. Lots of times.

THE STATE'S JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THOSE UTILIZING NATURAL RESOURCES HAVE THE MONEY, OR GET SHUTDOWN. NOT "WE'LL JUST IGNORE IT , UNTIL IT GETS WORSE".

BY ALL MEANS " SHOW US THE MONEY"...







"Since the dam was not producing power, oversight belonged to Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy. "
