In this video we can see the work that has begun on the Sanford Dam. There has been a lot of work on the spillways and low level outlet. The powerhouse has been poured right full of concrete now as well. The Sanford park is looking great! The Sanford Dam is located on what used to be Sanford Lake. Sanford Lake is located in Mid Michigan. This footage was filmed on May 17, 2024. This was after the collapse of the Edenville Dam on May 19, 2020. Wixom Lake was rapidly rising due to heavy rainfall and the Edenville dam could not hold back the water. The side of the dam failed sending water rushing towards Sanford Village. The aftermath and damage left behind is devastating. Make sure you subscribe to catch the follow up videos I will be filming.

I would like to thank you for continuing to document the ongoing stories of the aftermath of the floods. So many times one never knows the outcome of events in the long term, after the attention getting headlines have faded away. I've been keeping up (as best I can) with your videos since the dams failed.
Fantastic to see you back on the scene, Jordan. Thank you.
Incredibly GOOD construction company. It's firms like this that made and MAKE America Great.
Thanks for the awesome update!!! So good to see the great progress they are making. The baseball park is awesome!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!! 🤠👍
Park looking awesome great video
You can always check out the Dam structures on the Muskegon river, Rodgers, Hardy and Croton.
ive followed you since day one ,have watched your profesionalism grow thru the years ,awesome youve been able to be included in this process, i believe your coverage has helped bring awareness to this and helped bring agencies together so this project could be funded ,keep up the great work
Thanks for your great work Jordan
It’s a shame they had to fill in the turbines with concrete. They’re a cool piece of history.
Fed Gov Law
I read that the lawsuit's gonna be shutting down all construction soon....?
I miss the crystal clear water below the dam. Since the dams failed, the Tibb has been nothing but a steady stream is silty water.
You can thank the State of Mi for that it may take 25 years to clear
Jordan, You do such a great job pointing things out and explaining. We have been watching your videos from day one. Keep up the great work.
Nice job Jordon
Thanks!
This is a major project! Thanks for sharing.
The scale of that project gets me every time, wow. Thank you for the updates. 😄
It looks like the park is a bit lacking in restroom facilities. No wonder the cottonwoods grow so fast 🤣
Take care, man. I hope you and yours have been well and are enjoying the spring/summer.
Thank you for sharing your journey 👍
I live here in sanford, and got a question. So are these dams ho longer going to generate power?
That is right
Thanks for the informative update !
With the push for renewable power, why wasn't this power plant brought back on line?
Best guess is that the economics just couldn’t be made to work. Generating power would require FERC certification, which probably carries with it a whole bunch of extra hoops to jump through, which would raise the cost of the project. And that plant would be pretty small. It might never make enough money to recoup the added cost.
FED GOV RULES. the Dams cant be rebuilt to Fed Gov Standards with out doubling the cost
@@michaelimbesi2314 and FERC has higher Standards then the State of Michigan
What was the purpose of filling the turbines with concrete? More costly than demo?
thanks for all the hard work you put in Jordan to keep us all updated! when is the water supposed to be back?
Great information!! At 15:18 they should have matched the sidewalk joints with the curb joints. The way it is done will likely create cracks in the sidewalk at the curb joints.
just a question. what is taking so long. its been 4 years, it only took 5 years to build the hover Dam 3 years to build the Mackinaw bridge. Just asking
That's a question for the Four Lakes Task Force. In 2021 they projected the dam would be restored by 2025. In 2022 they projected it would be restored in 2025. In October 2023 this changed to being substantially completed between January 2026 and December 2026. In May 2024 this was updated to February 2026 to August 2026 (assuming that there is no suspension of work, associated with their ability to get additional funding).
@@jdmcdorce876 i dont see a funding Problem since the tate of Michigan broke Fed Gov law the State of Michigan should be paying for every thing
@@dknowles60 The construction shown in the video is being funded by the State of Michigan. Where the current conundrum partially lies is that the FLTF told the State in 2021 that reconstructing the four dams would take $240 million. At that time, the State allocated $200 million under the condition that the FLTF (effectively Midland and Gladwin Counties) come up with the $40 million balance. In October 2023 the FLTF announced the cost had gone up to $350 million (+/- $40 million) and in January 2024 the cost was stated as $398 million and $217 million would need to be raised through a Special Assessment District to complete the project. There has been no plausible explanation given for the cost increase, making it difficult to go back to the well in Lansing for additional funding.
@@jdmcdorce876 the State of Michigan still needs to pay up. the state of Michigan broke fed gov law and made the mess
@@jdmcdorce876 The state of Michigan made the Mess. the State needs to pay up 100%
Why was it that the power house was no longer going to be used. I guess, was the power house active before the flood?
yes
So no hydropower? Just flood control gates?
yes
it seems a shame they are not going put the generating capability back in you think that would be one of greenest forms of energy we have
the Dams Cant Pass fed gov Law for Hydroelectric production, the dams never produce much electricity, i been told that 1 wind turbine made more then Edenville did CMS energy is trying to sell its dams and lakes to a buyer or the state of michigan, the Biggest dam in Michigan that makes hydro Electric Power is Handy 40 megawatts them days dont make enough money to pay for their up keep
so are they going to restore the previous water level in Sanford lake? so all the residents homes around it now dont lose most of thier worth?
If they are not going to be generating electricity anymore what is the point of rebuilding this dam?
Water retention
The "official" version is the point of rebuilding the four dams (Sanford, Edenville, Smallwood, and Secord) is to reestablish the four associated lakes as recreational lakes.
Wasn’t the damn owned by private investors?
Jordan 🙏🏻💪🏻✝️ are they installing electric turbine ⚡⚡⚡
I can’t help but feel that if it’s not generating electricity, it’s not fully functional. But of course we live in the time of Renewable Energy--unless it’s the most useful form, hydroelectric power. So we fill the old historical and recently functional powerhouses with concrete while we waste irreplaceable resources to build innumerable monstrosities that will be gone in 20 years or less.
Sanford Could not meet the FERC for electric Production
@@dknowles60 What do you mean? Could not meet the FERC’s requirements for something? Your statement is incomplete.
It would be super awesome to just tear it all down and let nature be nature. We will be under going yearly spring flooding every time we get 2 inches of rain more flooding.
where is the money coming from what is going to cost?
Will the lake be restored to it's original level????
yes
If it’s not gonna produce electricity, then it shouldn’t be damned back up.
Any updates on the steam shovel that was rescued? Jayman...
I've heard it's restored...
Who is actually paying for this multi-hundred Million renovation?
The horseshoe pits do they have the spikes n horseshoes or do you have ta bringing your own spikes and horseshoes?
Who is paying for the rebuild of the two dams?
There are "4" dams being rebuilt ,
I see the lake is only going to be about 8 ft deep
I hope my tax dollars aren't paying to replace a private dam.
so this will not generate any power any more ?
It stopped generating in 2018
Stopped before the breach
@@kirkgorte128 kinda feels like a waist with all this work being put into it
@@kirkgorte128 Edenville stopped generating power in 2018, Sanford was still generating power up until the breach in Sanford Dam in May 2020.
@@kirkgorte128 by order of the Fed Gov
No fish latter's? An what about environmental impact studies?
Seems a waste to discard a source of free electricity, relatively free, modern turbines would be a fine addition. Outside of the misbehavior of Boyce.
them dams were Losing Money Producing Electricity. the Only Misbehavior was from the state of Michigan Breaking Fed Gov law
.
Seems pretty weak as why are we not generating electricity with this? Instead we build wind towers that fail easily and encourage an expense of upkeep. Money talks I guess.
apparently hydro electric dams need upkeep too, but its plain to see that privatizing something like this was a mistake because corporate greed prevented the necessary upkeep
@@motownXJdad9565 wrong then Dams never made enough Money to pay for their up keep, them lake Owners were geting a free lake from Boyce
Why is this not being demolished? No power generation and located in a area with a low population. So is this for flood control only? Or is this a State funded recreation project?
What an absolute waste to not take advantage of the "free" energy from hydro and remove all the hydro elecric capability.
Big question who is paying for all this? Unless they levied a $90,000 per year tax bill on those living on Sanford and Wixom Lake, I'd say we the tax payers of Michigan are paying for this? No?
The NEGATIVE viewpoint😂😂…..Michigan is spending 10’s of millions on a dam that washed out….in an area where the population is low….WHAT IF we spent the money on school programs, or social programs to re-energize the economy of the state.
Let the river go back to being a river…….
I know right. Why do we have to spend a couple hundred million so 100 people can have a puddle that might increase their property values a bit. Seems like highway robbery.
And also it blocks fish migration upriver which decreases fish populations in the river and in lake Huron. Fishing brings in 2.3 billion a year to Michigan. I know its just one river being blocked, but every river counts and has a big impact on the fishing in the surrounding areas.
or better Yet fixing the Roads
@@dknowles60 they are working on a few roads right now. It's an election year.
Thanks!
