    The image shows a drained or severely depleted reservoir or impoundment, revealing an exposed mudflat with numerous dead tree stumps protruding from the sediment. A brick dam structure or powerhouse building is visible in the background, with debris and driftwood accumulated against it. The scene suggests a recent dam drawdown, dam failure, or deliberate reservoir drainage event.

    Sanford Lake was inundated by floodwaters on May 19, 2020, following the Edenville Dam failure, emptying most of the lake downstream. USACE is providing dam assessment and inundation modeling to the State of Michigan.

    A worker wearing a high-visibility yellow safety vest, red cap, and face mask stands on a mound of displaced earth surveying disaster damage. A leaning utility pole with an American flag attached is visible among debris, downed branches, and scattered wreckage. The scene appears to be a post-disaster assessment, likely following flooding or a severe storm, in a residential area.
    Two workers in high-visibility safety vests are surveying flood or dam failure damage at a water control structure. Extensive debris including logs, lumber, and wreckage is scattered across the area and floating in the water. One worker wears a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers vest, indicating this is an official damage assessment.
    Two workers wearing high-visibility yellow safety vests are conducting an inspection or assessment at what appears to be a flood-damaged or drained waterfront area. The foreground worker, wearing a red cap and sunglasses, is holding a clipboard or tablet and surveying the muddy, debris-strewn landscape. The scene shows extensive mud flats, standing water pools, and what appears to be displaced dock or marina infrastructure.
    The image shows a drained or severely depleted reservoir or impoundment, revealing an exposed mudflat with numerous dead tree stumps protruding from the sediment. A brick dam structure or powerhouse building is visible in the background, with debris and driftwood accumulated against it. The scene suggests a recent dam drawdown, dam failure, or deliberate reservoir drainage event.
    A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers inspector wearing a high-visibility yellow vest and red hard hat stands along a guardrail surveying a drained or breached reservoir/lake bed. The exposed sediment basin shows significant erosion channels and a damaged dam or retaining structure in the background. Orange traffic cones and safety barriers indicate an active emergency or construction zone.
    Four construction or inspection workers are gathered on a bridge deck over a body of water, appearing to conduct a site inspection or meeting. All individuals are wearing high-visibility safety vests and hard hats of varying colors. A small equipment trailer is visible on the bridge deck behind them, and the background shows a shallow waterway with exposed stumps and a tree line.
    The image shows a drained or significantly lowered body of water, revealing a muddy lakebed or reservoir floor with numerous exposed tree stumps and debris scattered across the expanse. Two workers in high-visibility safety vests and hard hats are present, standing near what appears to be a dam structure or sheet pile wall in the foreground. The scene suggests an active water management or dam inspection/remediation project.
    The image shows a drained or significantly lowered reservoir or river area, likely following dam removal or failure, with exposed sediment and debris across a wide sandy/muddy basin. A worker in a high-visibility vest stands near the water's edge observing the scene, with a damaged or partially demolished dam structure visible in the background. The foreground shows displaced wooden dock or deck structures, consistent with a major water level change event.
    A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers inspector in a high-visibility vest and hard hat surveys a severely damaged bridge that has partially collapsed, likely due to flood damage. The bridge deck and guardrails are buckled and displaced, with the middle section dropped toward a river below. Debris and sediment are visible across the surrounding landscape, indicating a recent flood or dam failure event.
    The image shows a drained or severely depleted body of water, likely a lake or reservoir, revealing exposed sandy sediment and eroded terrain. A small residual stream channel winds through the exposed lakebed, with visible erosion features including undercut banks and debris. Infrastructure such as a bridge or dam structure is visible in the background, suggesting this may be the result of a dam failure, controlled drawdown, or flood event.
