New Milford Police are investigating a trespassing case involving tree removal on FirstLight property.  The licensee for the Housatonic River Hydroelectric Project submitted a report to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission about the unauthorized excavation on the South Lanesville Dike.  A FightLight employee driving by saw someone operating a small loader backhoe on the crest of the earthen dike and told the person to cease and desist.  The trespassing incident and damage was reported to New Milford Police.  Several small trees were removed and the holes backfilled with gravel.  There were no injuries and Project operations were not impacted. FirstLight stabilized the excavated areas, restoring the site to its original condition and posted “No Trespassing” signs.
