BoardTown Of Killingworth Inland Wetlands And Watercourses Commission Special Meeting On Site Walk-Thru Minutes
The commission conducted a site walk-through to review an application for maintenance dredging of a fishing pool in the Hammonasset River. Key discussions involved comparing dredging methods, specifically dragline versus hydraulic dredging, and addressing siltation issues caused by upstream construction and watershed management. The board also reviewed plans for a temporary disposal and stockpiling site, including subsequent re-grading and re-vegetation, and requested additional information regarding the watershed size and distance to the river's headwaters.
