Public Information Meeting: Managing State-Owned Manmade Dams with Beaver Impacts
Two public information meetings were held by the Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) in April 2025 to discuss how upcoming dam safety rules may affect the management of state-owned, manmade dams that have been impacted by beavers.
The Department of Environmental Conservation is responsible for implementing Act 161 of 2018, including the development of technical standard dam safety rules for a wide range of dams outside of federal ownership. Included under the rule are approximately 100 dams owned by ANR.
