Please note that documents dated before May 19, 2020 (when Edenville and Sanford dams failed), may contain information that no longer reflects the path forward or stance of FLTF.

Prior to the failure of Edenville and Sanford dams, the Lake Associations and Counties were in the process of acquiring the dams from Boyce Hydro, with a closing expected, and then to improve the dams to survive historic floods. The acquisition has not and will not take place under the terms that were negotiated with Boyce Hydro in the winter of 2019.
