The link below to the The State of Michigan's DNREs position on Dam Removal:
Cliff Notes: The State Department of Natural Resources explains their conclusion that unnecessary dams be removed to improve the quality of the river, dimish risk of flood, and reduce liabiltiy to the dam owners (City).
thanks!
In December 2010, a group requested that Niles consider removal of the Pucker Street dam in an upcoming vote. The dam has out-lived its usefulness and is in-operable. However, water quality and the dam's structure continue to degrade. Paid energy consultants report that dam restoration isn't economically feasible. Today, funds for the dam's removal are available. We dedicate this page to those wishing to learn facts and seek your participation in some small way.
