“A derogation implies significant damage without possible solutions,” comments the Castors Network. “Which is clearly not the case here.”
The mayor has in the meantime, as proposed by the defenders of the beavers, had the dam destroyed.
“This solved the problem 100%: the water now flows under the bridge. And this does not bother the beaver too much. By destroying the dam, the works services also had the intelligence to dig a ditch along the road, the association rejoices. With such a ditch, the problem would never have occurred. Also, any water diverted by a possible new dam in the bottom of the valley would flow towards this ditch to return to the river before the bridge. It undoubtedly presents the structural solution sought by the mayor” concludes the Castors network.
