Abstract:
Microfilmed correspondence and plans of the Bureau of Water Supply and Pollution Control concerning state inspection of dams, approval of designs for new construction or repair of existing dams, water levels, drainage basins, flood controls, water power, and complaints from the public about water levels being too high or too low and the adverse effect on shoreline properties. Plans consist of blueprints and sketches for each dam, showing complete details of each structure.

Arrangement of the Materials

In two sections: Correspondence and Plans. Thereunder, the files are arranged alphabetically by county number code (except Menominee County which is number 72), and then numerically by individual dam. The decimal number generally indicates the sequence in which the dams were surveyed in each county. The correspondence is generally arranged in reverse chronological order.
