Welcome!
Welcome to our website for the Shadow Run Dam Corporation. We're a not for profit organization founded specifically to maintain the integrity of the Shadow Run Dam which forms the northern boundary of Lake Grady in Riverview, Florida. Located in the center of the Shadow Run Subdivision, the dam provides a place of refuge for all kinds of wildlife with the added benefit of preserving the value of homes that are located within the Shadow Run community. We hope you find the information on this site useful. Please contact us if you are interested in helping to maintain our dam.

The SRDC needs help! There are always maintenance projects that require man (or girl) power to get done. Are you or your organization looking for a community service project? We need help with the following: - Retrieving floating barriers that washed downstream during Hurricane Gilbert.
- Reinstalling wood post barriers at the west end of the dam entrance.
- Clearing the wier (that's the notch in the spillway to regulate lake height).
Go to the Contact Us page and fill out the form to any one of our directors, and we will get in touch with you to schedule a work party. |

Many residents may not realize the importance of the dam until the day that you put your home on the market. Just ask any realtor, and they will tell you that the lake is considered a major factor in keeping our property values among the highest in south Hillsborough County. This is true even for homes in our neighborhood that do not have a lake view. So, it is in all our interests that the dam stays intact and continues to maintain our property values. The Shadow Run Dam Corporation (SRDC) was formed in March of 2000 for the sole purpose of maintaining the integrity of the dam that is at the northern boundary of Lake Grady. The SRDC is a non profit corporation that is in not connected to the Shadow Run Homeowner’s Association (SRHA). The only real connection is that by virtue of owning property in the Shadow Run Subdivision, the property owner is a stockholder of the SRDC, to whom the SRDC is solely accountable. The SRDC is managed by a Board of Directors who are all volunteers (and your neighbors) that offer their time and effort to ensure that the dam is maintained and continues to perform its primary function. |

On Saturday, June 7, the Board of Directors met on site to walk through the new dam inspection procedure. The most notable problems were the electrical failure for the remote sluice gate operation, a clogged wier, and erosion on the down slope side of the dam. All problems are being addressed. |

The SRDC board members met on the dam the morning of Dec 15 to clear brush and debris. The heavy flotation barriers were hauled up out of the spillway in preparation for repairing the barrier system. A visual inspection was made of the dam spillway and the flood gate operation was checked. |
