Town seeks guardrail herbicide spraying; commission requests joint meeting with road crew and wetlands
Summary
Troy requested contractor spraying of town guardrails next year to control bittersweet; the commission asked for a joint meeting with the road crew and the Inland Wetlands Commission to review guardrail locations, mapping data, and the herbicide proposed. The commission will review mapped locations in advance.
Troy requested that Henry arrange for a contractor to spray town guardrails with herbicide next year to control bittersweet, similar to state spraying done along signs and guardrails. The commission did not object to the idea in principle but asked to hold a joint meeting with Henry, the Town road crew and the Inland Wetlands Commission to review guardrail locations, examine the EpiCollect mapping data, and evaluate the chemical proposed for use.
Commission members said they will review mapped guardrail locations in advance of the joint meeting and will assess environmental and jurisdictional issues before authorizing contractor work. The commission flagged the need to confirm which herbicide will be used and the scope of any application before moving forward.
