Every dam on the reach: the inventory test returns none

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

The word the audit could not find in the build can now be printed, once, as a tested negative: there is no dam of record on this reach.The National Inventory of Dams — the Corps of Engineers' congressionally authorised inventory of more than 91,000 dams, Indiana's share 1,089 in the current renderings — carries no dam in Union Township and none on the Yellow River's St. Joseph County headwaters reach in any rendering reached; the state's own low-head dam roster (Indiana DNR, Division of Water), which lists dams county by county down to single-owner mill dams, carries no St. Joseph County entry on the Yellow River or on either township lake's outlet in the roster as reached. No claimed second dam exists in any telling reached, so no dispel is owed. The dam article for this reach is this negative: no builder, no date, no purpose, because no work. Residue, stated plainly: the NID's interactive database itself was not queried parcel by parcel; the negative stands at inventory-and-roster rendering strength, and the NID query at the township remains the settler that could raise it.
