8:30 MEET WITH NANCY LIVELY – DRIVEWAY/ROAD ISSUE: Dan Lively met with the board to discuss the roadwork being done on Old Troy Road. He discussed with Gene Cuomo a couple of weeks ago replacing the culvert. Mr. Lively stated that the existing culvert is two small and floods his driveway. They have ditched the road on both sides of his driveway, which will compound the runoff. Ed Mattson replaced the culvert with a 12” culvert from a 15” steel, which was previously 18” concrete. There is run off from the pond behind the Nickersons. The problem is with heavy rains. Mr. Methe took a look at this road this morning. He stated that the pond is very high. Mr. Methe stated that they scraped up gravel that he had put in
the driveway. They delivered this to a Richmond resident. Mr. Lively feels that while they are fixing this road he feels they should fix this culvert problem. This backs up from this culvert into his yard and then down his driveway. Mr. Clukey will speak with Road Agent Gene Cuomo with regard to this matter.
*** DISCUSS BOYCES POND DAM: The beaver dam on the spillway is holding back a lot of water which backs water onto Robert Favreau’s land which is contaminating a well. The Wons own this property and have appointed the tenant to take care of the beaver dam. They like the pond high and leave the dam there. DES looked at it and stated that it is in violation of the NH statute. They have stated that the town can remove the dam and send the Wons the bills. Mr. Parker feels a letter should be sent to DES and state that their employee has determined a violation, the town is not in position to handle state problems. We should send a copy to Tom Eaton and Debra Pignatellie. Mr. Clukey and Mr. Methe agreed. Mr. Methe made a motion to send a letter to DES stating this is in their realm of responsibility and they should take care of this matter. A copy will be sent to environmental services with copy to Tom Eaton and DebraPignatellie. A copy of this letter will be sent to
the property owner.
