They started YEARS ago doing a study of the dam...recognized it needed a lot of work....they then did another study about "do we let it fail or do we repair it"...they decided it was too costly to repair and took a wait and see attitude.....Mother Nature finally took care of business.

There are thousands of unused and unsafe dams in the US. This one won't be a danger to anyone downstream. The options were to let it fail or beg for money to fix it that isn't coming and let it fail anyway.

That Reservoir was full of Silt from almost 90 + years of build up so your only talking maybe 4-6 ft of water and 80+ feet of mud... Now the river is cleaning all the mud out.. Notice the black turbid water flowing. I know cuz i did fish down there in that area for some years. Good walleye fishing area and so it will be again in the future.

they could get in a dozer and start to push in truckloads of huge shot rock - that would significantly slow the erosion until river water flow levels are down - the dams base drain also needs opened but is probably completely silted in

Well except for the fact that the dam did not "wear out and crumble". A record setting storm and flooding eroded banks far up river, the torn out trees floated down stream and clogged the dams spillways, it happened so quickly that they didnt have time to clear the obstructions. The dam did not fail, the rising water simply bypassed the dam.

Why isn't this information included in the news? The dam was built in 1910. It was damaged by flooding. In 1970 it was acquired by Blue Earth County and two years later it was proposed to either be rebuilt or torn down. In 2002 it was found that the buttresses needed extensive repairs. In 2019 the dam was damaged by flooding and stopped producing electricity. In 2021 an engineering study was done to study the repair or removal of the dam. 2022 the county sought feedback from the community to either repair or remove the dam and 18% approved removal while 69% approved repairing the dam. 2023 the "National Inventory of Dams" rated the dam in poor condition and it's hazard potential significant. The county should be held liable for the loss of the Hruska's home, business and land. Why isn't this information included in the news?
