Protect the Town Infra-structure From Commercial
Logging Damage
Commercial logging can take a toll on the environment and the
road system if it occurs without planning to protect them.
We recommend
implementing a regulation that requires loggers working
within the town obtain a permit. The permit should be based upon
the logging company submitting an acceptable plan that addresses
1. Scope of the project
2. Enrollment with the state under §480-a Real Property
tax or the Fisher Forest Act, if appropriate.
3. Esthetics
4. Environment and wildlife concerns
5. Maintenance and repair of public roads
6. Buffer zones
7. Clean-up and reclamation
8. Location of skid roads and loading areas
9. Signage
10.Posting of a cash bond to cover damage to town roads
