Commission hears plan for short boardwalk near Willow Road
Summary
Applicant described a roughly 20-foot boardwalk and bridge approach damaged by beaver activity; commissioners confirmed use of cedar for ground contact members and pressure-treated lumber for flanking and agreed to a site check on August 10.
The Olin Midland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission reviewed a proposal to install about 20 feet of boardwalk and associated bridge flanking at a Willow Road site, a project the applicant said was needed after beaver activity damaged the prior approach. The presenter said most components that touch the ground will be cedar while flanking and non-contact elements will be pressure-treated wood.
Commissioners asked about materials and walking distance; one commissioner recommended insect repellent for the site visit. The commission scheduled a site visit for 6:00 p.m. on August 10 to inspect erosion controls and confirm final materials before any administrative permit action.
