Thayerbrook road culvert project faces Oct. 31 expiration; Selectboard to seek FEMA inspection
Summary
Selectboard members were notified that the Thayerbrook Road arch culvert headwall expires Oct. 31; members discussed requesting a FEMA site visit and potentially seeking an extension before spending town funds to fill a scour hole.
A notification read during the meeting reported that the Thayerbrook Road arch culvert headwall project expires Oct. 31, prompting Selectboard members to consider whether to ask FEMA for an extension or an on-site inspection before spending town funds to fill a scour hole.
One staff member read the email notification and noted the pending expiration. Board members said they were unsure whether FEMA would reimburse work to fill the scour hole versus requiring headwall-specific work; one member asked if FEMA could be asked to inspect the site with town staff before the town spends money. The Chair said, “So alright. We can ask,” indicating the town would pursue an extension or inspection.
The board did not commit funds at the meeting and asked staff to pursue contact with FEMA to clarify reimbursability and whether an extension would be granted before authorizing remediation work.
