Board approves 9.65-acre stream overlay and wetland restoration for Johnson property
Summary
Greenvest presented a 9.65-acre stream overlay/wetland restoration for the Johnson family—board approved unanimously; staff noted ~6 acres in the FEMA floodplain and ~8 acres in the natural resource district, plus planned fencing and a stream crossing.
The Harford County Agricultural Preservation Advisory Board on May 21 unanimously approved a request from the Johnson family for a stream-overlay easement to facilitate a wetland restoration covering 9.65 acres. Greenvest representatives Paul Zanecki and Dr. David Merkey described the project as a wetland restoration that would be forested after planting and protected with a 10-year, approximately 8-foot deer fence; cattle would later be fenced out with high-tensile fence and a stream crossing would be installed.
Merkey told the board the property contains approximately 6 acres inside the FEMA floodplain and about 8 acres within the county natural resource district (NRD). Larry Johnson said the family selected Greenvest based on seeing prior work. The minutes record the motion to approve was moved by Bill Amoss and seconded by Dave Dougherty and passed unanimously.
