In this update we take a look at the progress on the Smallwood Dam. A lot of work has been completed on the power house and the emergency spillway. The Smallwood Dam is located on what used to be Smallwood Lake. Smallwood Lake is located in Mid Michigan. This footage was filmed on September 15, 2023. This was after the collapse of the Edenville Dam on May 19, 2020. There was much flooding that occurred around the dam at the same time that the Edenville Dam collapsed on May 19, 2020. Wixom Lake was rapidly rising due to heavy rainfall and the Edenville dam could not hold back the water. The earthen embankment 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.

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

Amazing. I'm in Southern California. During since 2020bwe went through and out of a Severe drought, but that is nothing compared to what these towns and these people and these workers and this channel has shared with the rest of our country.These people have real strength and intestinal fortitude. Continuing to pray for you.All God bless you

After having my retirement home a total loss I'm glad to be living in the mountains of Northern Georgia.

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Great update!!! Things are looking good!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!! 🤠👍

[@dknowles60]

keep up the good work

[@riccochet704]

They've made some serious progress. Can only imaging work will continue at a faster pace now that snow is not much of a concern. Thanks for the update!

[@charlierumsfeld6626]

Thank you

[@tucobenedicto109]

Love the video, Love the clam bucket. As was said in hard hat harry's video, "the clam bucket is definately catching clams.

[@jutau]

Great update Jordan.

[@jobos98]

Thanks

[@kurtbaker4078]

Thanks. JORDAN

[@timothystevenhoward]

wow looks really active up there. I imagine this one will get done first being upstream? Edenville is going to take a long long time

[@gth042]

The size of that eqipment still impresses me. ... Any canoe trips this summer? Maybe go all the way down and portage over the dams?

[@JeffCobeil]

Thanks for everthing you do Jordan, Any new dates on when the water will be back to the wixom lake?

[@jobos98]

Great update video

[@paintnamer6403]

The HDPE pipes can flow 7. 2 I can't math real good so don't bet on it,

[@jesusisGod1434]

Thank you for the update! Question: Will there be an alarm that goes off when and if the water gets so high it goes over the emergency spillway? And another question: have to sent the information to the local news agencies that you have live cameras at these dams? So that can report on the water height? Or be informed? And again, thank you, you offer a valuable resource! ❤

[@hooligangeneral300]

Anyone posting about Wixom lake?

[@iansmartel5473]

Will they be producing electric from the Power House in future? What is happening at Sanford Dam?

[@Brunoinski]

No

[@dknowles60]

will the dam ever produce electricity Again

[@gth042]

Nope, it's getting filled in. Too small of a scale to be economically viable, I suspect.

[@rjgoniea]

@@gth042 too small and putting in power generation would add a lot to the cost of the project.

[@Brunoinski]

No

[@Brunoinski]

Thanks for the update.

[@bonniek3985]

I guess the purpose of these dams now is recreational in nature. There apparently no flood control, hydropower, irrigation, or other types of benefits. Thanking you in advance for a response.

[@jjk907]

My thoughts are the same. So the emergency gate will avert an event at the dam but just send the flood waters down stream!! I thought this project would have been taken over by the Army Corp of Engineers. A great opportunity to take the millions of $$$ being spent on emergency gates and really solve all problems with retention and gates up stream to manage the water flow. Retention and flood gates have been successful many times elsewhere. Lots of barren and available land along the waterways.
