West Grand Lake at Grand Lake Stream, Maine is held back by West Grand Lake , a timber crib — a framework of logs ballasted with rock , standing 13 ft high and running 487 ft along its crest , built across West Branch St. Croix River in Washington County , near Grand Lake Stream . It was completed in 1836 , and is owned by Woodland Pulp, LLC . Its recorded primary purpose is hydroelectric — releases follow generation schedules, so the level can move on a daily cycle that has nothing to do with drought. Its spillway is gated, so the operator can hold the pool above the spillway crest and meter what leaves. NID classes it significant hazard potential: a failure would be expected to damage property and infrastructure rather than cost lives. It is a consequence rating, not a condition rating. Its most recent condition assessment was satisfactory — no deficiencies recognised for expected loading. National Inventory of Dams record ME00223 — U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, public domain.
