If this is so then the property owners are really screwed. I live on a way smaller version of that scenario. The people living around the pond I live on own the pond and environs. WE are, and have been responsible for the dams. We've spent 1.5 million over the last 10 years to repair and upgrade our dams.
Before Hurrican Floyd hit us with 16 inches of rain we had upgraded that dam. During the storm we had a minor end breach, an encroachment. Even though the State helped draw up our repair plan and approved it, WE were wholly responsible for the minor failure. The State just shrugged, issued the fines and moved on with litigation.
Whomever approved filling the lake will hold the owners responsible for the failure. I betcha a donut.
