The lawsuit was filed on Friday against the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
A Michigan-based law firm, Pitt McGhee Palmer Bonanni & Rivers, is representing Sanford residents Dan and Cathy Allen.
Lawyers accuse the FERC of failing to monitor Boyce Hydro and the dam’s operations. They say the dam has been listed as a “High Hazard” by the FERC since 1993 and dam owners ignored mandates for maintenance and upgrades.
Co-plaintiff Dan Allen said in a statement, “It’s hard to believe that this dam has been considered dangerous for 26 years, and other owners during that time were allowed to sell their interests without making any improvements. They just left the community to suffer since we couldn’t just sell our ‘interests’ and leave. We want to rebuild our lakes and our lives.”
