The Marshfield embankment breach at the artificial lake caused flooding east of the power plant and halted traffic along Richfield road. Water reached five feet deep near the Hut er and Kalsched mill as a coffer dam was built to restore lake levels for ice cutting and skating. Residents began repairs Monday after the section crumbled, washing away a strip of embankment south of the concrete spillway.
