Michigan to remove the Sanback Dam in 2026, restoring 14 wetland acres and protecting more than 70 downstream miles August 12, 2026 at 11:28PM

The historic removal of a dam in Michigan, over a century old, is set to rejuvenate the region's natural ecosystems. This collaborative project will facilitate the movement of aquatic life by clearing upstream habitats while addressing the environmental threats posed by polluted sediments. Restoration efforts will focus on enhancing wetlands and safeguarding vital cold water habitats downstream, fostering biodiversity and ecological balance.
