My grandparents had a place in Loon Cove when I was growing up so I'm very familiar with what the conditions used to be both in the cove and going through the culverts to the other side of Rte 11. There was beaver activity beyond the Rte 11 culvert back in the late 70's and in the 80's but it didn't discharge what you are describng so I would tend to think it is something else and not the beaver. Based on the rate of flow through those cuverts I'm fairly certain that the area upstream of Rte 11 is not going to fall under the jurisdiction of the CSPA. I will check with the guys in water quality and find out if there are any agricultural or other water quality rules that may come into play.
