Selectmen note U199 inspection, Middle Mile trench permit and resident complaints about debris
Summary
Sugar Hill selectmen reviewed an engineering inspection of the U199 line and said the U178 project remains with the Site Evaluation Committee; they received a trench permit for the Grafton County Middle Mile project and noted resident complaints about debris from Fidium work and runoff concerns at the Dyke Road subdivision.
At the May 5 meeting the Selectmen discussed several local infrastructure items. Chris Ellms said he and Mr. Glover inspected the end of the U199 line and described it as a significant engineering project; the board also noted that the U178 project is currently before the Site Evaluation Committee and is not expected to advance soon.
Jennifer Gaudette told the board that the company handling the Grafton County Middle Mile project submitted a trench permit and bond for work on Pearl Lake Road. The minutes record that residents have been disappointed by trash and debris left behind during preparation for the Fidium lines; the minutes do not identify who raised the complaint or record a company response.
The town received a report from Town Engineer Red McCarthy on the Dyke Road subdivision and a request for driveway permits. Richard and Claudia Hunt provided photographs showing current water runoff; the property owner, Split Rock Partners, LLC, asked to continue its Planning Board hearing until June. The minutes do not include engineering detail beyond McCarthy’s report or a Planning Board decision.
The board also received an update on Flood Plain Insurance Program participation for Sugar Hill. No statutory citations or funding amounts were listed in the minutes. The minutes record follow-up directions: Jennifer Gaudette will contact Tim Egan and Carol Miller about the Middle Mile project and Chris Ellms will contact the lobbyist regarding the HealthTrust Risk Pool bill.
