Guest Presentation
1. Chairman Charlie Ryan opened the meeting at 4:30 p.m. at North Country Council.
Dr. John Field brought thirteen 81⁄2x11 fluvial erosion hazard maps and a large
topographic map of the Ammonoosuc River to the meeting. He described the hazard
zone on each side of the river to be 6 to 8 times the channel width with subtle
variations. Where the river flows close to the valley wall, the width of the hazard
zone increased on the other side of the river. Dr. Field explained fluvial erosion
hazard maps do not have an associated numbering system, which differs from the
FEMA 100-Year Flood Maps that make use of a definitive quantitative number
system. He will get back to us with the final mapping and then dates can be set up
for Dr. Field to meet with town boards and other interested parties.
2. Tara Bamford, Planning Director of NCC, updated the members on the amended
syntax of #11, 12, and 13 on the List of Management Plan Goals. Members
approved the changes made. Tara discussed setting up a proposed lecture series.
Members expressed support for doing the public outreach program. Details to be
forthcoming.
Review and Approval of April Minutes
Leslie recommended revisions to the April minutes as follows: addition of Members of
Public in Attendance: Bill Dowling (Carroll) and add words in Attendance to the Guests
heading so as to read Guests in Attendance; to change sentence 2 and 3 under New
Business #1 to read Volunteers are especially needed on the Wild Ammonoosuc River
May 6. Leslie is helping April 30th on the Upper Ammonoosuc and on May 3rd. Presence
of LAC member(s) to help with the Lower Ammonoosuc River on May 1st would be good
public relations. Under New Business #3, change sentence about Molly Fuller; she was
not present at the Open House; delete the sentence about the loggers paying the timber
tax; and change the second to last sentence from time period to comment to read
Comment period for scoping portion of the project. Linda Dowling made correction to
Old Business item #1 to change words from property owner to Town of Carroll. Connie
suggested replacement sentence about Molly Fuller to read Molly Fuller, WMNF District
Ranger for the Pemi District, has to approve the proposal. Discussion followed about
time spent in review and approval of the minutes with members concurring that detailed
minutes are subject to interpretation of what has been said. The secretary was asked to
summarize only key points in future minutes and otherwise not include who said what,
except when motions are made. Steve made the motion to approve the April minutes as
amended, seconded by Mike Waddell. Passed.
