State Dam Management Funds: Dam Removal Counted For Nearly 80% Of Dam Funding
(CBS DETROIT) - State dam removal projects were monetarily prioritized over dam repairs, according to The Detroit News.
Roughly 80 percent of the nearly $17 million in dam management grants went to removal services.
This comes after the Department of Natural Resources denied a $1.6 million grant for Edenville Dam repairs last year. The dam failed on May 19.
