The Edenville Dam failure left miles of shoreline along the Tittabawassee River eroded. Immediately following the dam failure, Four Lakes Task Force compiled initial damage assessments for FEMA and identified, at the planning level, that $20 million of investment is needed to stabilize bank erosion and $4.5 million to remove debris within the four lakes.
