The width W of the active region around an active moving wall in a directed percolation process diverges at the percolation threshold pc as WAε-νln(ε0/ε), with ε=pc-p, ε0 a constant, and ν=1.734 the critical exponent of the characteristic time needed to reach the stationary state ξε-ν. The logarithmic factor arises from screening the statistically independent needle shaped subclusters in the active region. Numerical data confirm this scaling behavior.
