The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, March 1, 1995 3 DER still trying to evict « lake beavers ‘By GRACE R. DOVE . Post Staff Harveys Lake councilman Martin Noon reported at the regu- “lar February 21 meeting that the Department of Environmental Resources (DER) is continuing to ~ study the problem of the beavers . which set up housekeeping at the _ Outlet last summer. “They're still working to get the "joint permit to dredge the debris that's blocking part of the creek,” “'he said. DER is also trying to get per- mission from the owner of a smaller dam on Harveys Creek, about a mile downstream from “the Outlet, to lower it by about 12 inches. Lowering the dam and the ‘level of the creek would make the creek less inviting to the little critters, he said. The council voted to accept the “Elgeway subdivision, stipulating that the owners submit an off- street parking plan and move a set of metal stairs to the lake so - that they conform to setbacks. In other business, the council voted to: e Accept a bid of $400 for the purchase of the old police cruiser without its radio. <'. eParticipate in the Back Moun- tain road materials cooperative.
