Mr. Bitsko asked what the reason was for foliar treatment rather than manual removal of the Japanese Knotweed. Mr. Wyman responded that because of the close proximity to the woodland edge, in a couple of growing seasons the invasive area may revert back to shrub and tree landscape which is not wanted in this proposal. Mr. Bitsko suggests a backpack treatment rather than truck spraying to make the foliar treatment most effective. On a motion by Ms. Ladd and seconded by Mr. Beuttell, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call vote to issue a Negative Determination with Conditions.
