Summary

Peaine Township meeting minutes reported in August 1991 that the old dump road was still being used and would be closed. The minutes also say the new road to the brush pile needed gravel and a gate at its entrance.

This is a dated waste-management and road-maintenance report, not a closure instrument, surveyed alignment, or proof that the work was completed.

Open questions

  • Which segment was the “old dump road,” and where was the replacement route?
  • Was the closure formalized by the township or a landowner?
  • What is the current status of the dump-road and brush-pile access?
