2. Mr. Giarrusso updated the Commission on work being done under the Emergency 
Certification for Rte 213 at 495 (Frye Road area). Some of the work has been done. They 
cleaned out the culvert underneath 495. Then they complained that there is some beaver 
activity there and he walked the culvert and there was so much silt, he had to crouch down. 
There was about 4’ of silt in the culvert and no beaver activity.

recent rain, there is a need to breech the beaver dams along Harris Street.
