Supervisor says DEC cited Wiltse Hill bridge in Otsquago Creek study, but town reports bridge already addressed
Summary
DEC notified the board that a basin study of Otsquago Creek (Van Hornesville to Fort Plain) flagged the Wiltse Hill bridge for immediate attention; Supervisor Bronner said the town had already taken care of that bridge and noted DEC’s study relies on 2014 data.
Supervisor Bronner relayed a notification from the Department of Environmental Conservation regarding a basin study of Otsquago Creek from Van Hornesville to Fort Plain. He said DEC identified the Wiltse Hill bridge as problematic and needing immediate attention, but Bronner reported the town had already addressed that bridge.
Bronner also said the DEC study the agency used was from 2014, suggesting the town’s more recent work on the bridge may not have been reflected in DEC’s materials. The minutes do not record a response from DEC representatives; no specific remediation or follow-up by the town was recorded beyond Bronner’s summary.
