Commission discusses beaver-management devices after culvert flooding; state cleans blocked culvert
Summary
Members reviewed beaver-management tools such as the 'Beaver Deceiver' and 'The Clemson Beaver Pond Leveler' and noted that a wildlife camera captured activity at a culvert on Route 126; the State subsequently cleaned the culvert after recent flooding.
Commission member Brant Burz shared information about beaver-management devices that have worked elsewhere, specifically naming the "Beaver Deceiver" and "The Clemson Beaver Pond Leveler." Secretary Susan Kelsey reported the commission had installed a wildlife camera for several days at the culvert crossing Route 126 between Amy Road and Johnson Road after flooding; the State later cleaned the culvert.
Members discussed these options as part of their ongoing old-business review of local watercourse and culvert issues. The minutes record no formal motion to install devices; the discussion was recorded for follow-up and possible future action.
