It is a privately built dam that was bought from the original owners 50 years ago by Blue Earth county. The lack of reinvestment is typical of private hydro electric. Local government has had ages to prioritize reinvestment, but local voters probably just wanted cheaper gas and lower taxes. I grew up in a town in British Columbia that also owns a private hydro electric plant. The town and tax payers have prioritized its maintenance and upkeep even longer than Rapidan, since 1892. Don't blame the federal government, blame the local owners.

In 1993 they claimed it was a 100 year flood. Then 1995 happened and 1993 became a 500 year flood and 1995 became the 100 year flood. Entire towns have been relocated to higher ground, houses were wiped out, houses that were flooded were abandoned and left because the insurance companies and the Feds told people that they could not return and build in those locations, levees breeched and the river took back part of its original channel (it had been diverted at some point in the past).

The water level past the dam is not visible in this shot, if it even would be plausibly seen from where the camera is, then it is entirely obstructed by the reporter.
