Sodus 8 & 9, located in Lyon, Minnesota, are essential structures managed by the local government for water resource management. These structures are designed for roadway retention and are regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, ensuring proper permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With a height of 21 feet and a storage capacity of 125 acre-feet, Sodus 8 & 9 play a crucial role in controlling the flow of Meadow Creek-TR and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding.

Although categorized as low hazard potential, Sodus 8 & 9 have not been rated for their condition assessment. The last inspection in April 2019 revealed a need for more frequent assessments, with an inspection frequency of 8. While the emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are not fully documented, the structures remain operational and essential for water management in the region. With Collin Peterson (D) as the congressional representative, efforts to ensure the safety and efficiency of Sodus 8 & 9 are ongoing to mitigate any potential risks and enhance their long-term effectiveness in water resource management.
