Beaver Dam Removed From Boro Culvert Pipe
Employees of the Emporium Borough removed a beaver dam constructed inside a six-foot diameter culvert pipe on the western outskirts of town recently.
The beaver dam had three residents, which were removed from the dam with permission from the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) and the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR). The dam nearly filled the culvert pipe, and was approximately 30 feet from the pipe exit. An adjoining property owner alerted the borough to the clogged pipe. The beaver dam was approximately 5.5 feet tall, nearly filling the drainage pipe.
