Secord and Smallwood dams remain structurally
sound and are passing upstream flows. FLTF notified Gladwin County
Emergency Management, according to protocol outlined in the Emergency Action
Plan, when the flows exceeded the notification threshold. This threshold was
set to indicate that potential flooding may occur at Radov Drive, downstream of
Smallwood Dam, should waters continue to rise. Radov Drive is a low-lying area
that historically floods during large storm events.
All four dams, Secord, Smallwood, Edenville and
Sanford, are below normal (legal) lake levels and continue to pass upstream
flows. There is no anticipated risk to the structure of the dams. Conditions at the Four
Lakes dams are measured and observed via instruments, cameras and site visits, which are
communicated to county emergency management.
FTLF encourages property owners to use the counties’
emergency management services to receive information related to storms:
