Wisconsin Dams Under Watch as Big Falls Stabilizes and Shawano-area Structure Faces Risk
TL;DR Summary
Heavy rains triggered flash flood warnings as the Big Falls Dam on the Little Wolf River began to recede after sandbagging and evacuations; officials said the dam has not breached and stabilization efforts are working, leading to lifted evacuation orders. Separately, the Balsam Row Road Dam near Shawano is at risk of failure with water cresting over the top and limited mitigation options, so residents downstream are advised to stay alert and be prepared to evacuate if conditions worsen.
