Rebuilding Infrastructure

After the failure of the Edenville and Sanford dams in Michigan in May of 2020, Jordan Mowbray took a page out of Juan Browne's book and started documenting the rebuilding efforts.

Secord Dam was determined to be at risk of the same kind of failure, and so a lot of rebuilding was required. The work on the Secord dam was halted in 2024, after completion of the emergency spillway, because of a lawsuit filed against Four Lakes Task Force, the organization created to own the 4 dams after the disaster. (2 dams failed, 2 were either damaged or deemed to be in need of repair. There may be more dams in the mix.) That lawsuit was completed, and the work on rebuilding the main spillway was restarted.
