SWALE AREA 1. Inspect the swale annually by walking the entire length, noting erosion and seepage areas, depressions, and rodent holes. Repair erosion damage and revegetate as called for in the original specifications for permanent seeding. Fill in rodent holes and revegetate. If rodent damage is more than minimal, devise and initiate an eradication plan. Cut all woody vegetation within the swale at ground level and treat to insure that it does not become reestablished. 2. Examine rock riprap and bedding (if visible) and make repairs necessary to meet original requirements. Rock shall be durable and resistant to weathering; shales and siltstone shall not be used. Remove any siltation and regrade to proper pitch to insure proper drainage of the swale. 3. All areas void of vegetation shall be reseeded with the permanent seed mixture as called for in the original specifications. 4. Mow all vegetated areas at least annually. DETENTION AREAS 1. Cut all woody vegetation within 15' of the outlet and inlet channels. Remove dead trees, snags, and debris which may block the functioning of the outlet during a flood event. 2. Inspect any trees and shrubs planted under the construction contract and prune, replace or supplement woody vegetation as necessary. 3. Inspect and clean the culvert under Nutmeg Road North to insure free drainage so that the road does not act as a "dam" during flood events. INLET & OUTLET STRUCTURES 1. Take immediate action to repair spalled or cracked concrete by replacement with a high strength, non-shrink, non-metallic, cement-based grout. 2. Check for erosion or settlement around concrete structures. Fill any settled areas with a properly graded gravel or crushed stone filter material. 3. Riprap and bedding in the channel should be inspected for displaced, dislodged, or deteriorated materials. Properly graded and durable materials shall be used to repair damaged areas. Inspect the channel for growth of woody or other vegetation which restricts flow. Remove if present. Inspect the earth portions of the outlet channel for erosion on the, side slopes and bed.

The IWA/CC does not have plans reflecting the most current changes dated 3/17/89 . Three copies of revised plans should be submitted to IWA/CC prior to construction. 2� Although a consultant with experience in the creation of wetlands has addressed the Commission, the written plan is very general and needs to be clarified to provide details for construction activities. Philip Barske, PhD has provided the "concept of creating a shallow marsh" . In the concept outline there are many site variations which may require modifications to site work. This must be reflected on the plans or we may end up with the plans as shown, whether they work or not, for the site. Who is to decide which is best for the site as it progresses? 3 . There is now some well data indicated on the plans . This, and any other groundwater data available, should be utilized and basin contours further refined on the plans . ./ 4 .

Sheet 5 of 11 indicates a snow fence to be placed "when clearing is complete" . I believe the intent of the snow fence is to also act as a limit of clearing. Limits of construction in general need to be physically established on the site. 7 . Area of disturbance is to be limited. There is no phasing or other means of limiting amount of disturbance indicated on the plans . _---_ 8 . Stump deposition was a topic of concern. There is nothing on the plans to indicate the disposal of stumps . 9 . IWA/CC approval condition #12 indicates a concern for effects on the groundwater table up and downstream. This has not been addressed as of yet. 10 . The detention area (which will act as a siltation basin) , proposed swale, and wetlands creation should be given priority on the plans . These areas should be stabilized prior to remaining construction activities taking place. (AA, SOIL SCIENCE SERVICES 104 Elm Street, Cheshire, Connecticut 06410 SOIL REPORT TO: Fuss & O'Neill, Inc .

Job No. : 87-716-CT-SWI-14 Dear Mr. Stone: At your request I inspected the site for the purpose of identifying wetland soils. The inspections were made on various dates between 11/02/87 and 12/11/87. Several site inspections were neccessary. At my request, other soil scientists reviewed the site with me for consultation. The soils and site conditions are rather complex. Poorly drained soils were identified with the aid of a spade and auger and consequently marked off from the non-wetland soils with consecutively numbered orange survey tapes. The site occurs on a broad outwash plain containing deep sand deposits over glacial lacustrine silts and clays. Hummocky topography with broad flat areas were typical of original conditions. The soils originally formed under forest vegetation with a seasonal high ground water which remained at or just below the surface of the low lying areas. The poorly drained soils found in these lower lying areas are characterized by a deep, very dark gray A horizon over a distinctly mottled sandy loam B horizon. The underlying C horizon has distinct mottles and is light grayish brown to light olive brown sand. The elevated areas contain moderately well drained soil with a dark brown A horizon overlying a bright brown sandy loam B horizon. The lower part of the B horizon is commonly mottled medium brown sandy loam. The separation of poorly drained from moderately well drained soils is readily apparent in the hummocky landscape of the forested area of the site. The broad depressional areas contain thick growths of sweet pepperbush and large red maple trees. The maples show root buttresses which indicated they have grown in long periods of soil saturation and seasonal water ponding. The soils present on the hummocks are non-wetland containing much less undergrowth with a dominance of large upland oak trees. The soils present in the field have been disturbed from past agricultural practices. The original hummocky topography has been changed to a flat to a gently sloping landscape. Both poorly and moderately well drained soils occur in the field. A very hard ironpan layer at 15 inches is present in some soil areas of the field. The ironpan has a dark reddish brown coloration with a thickness varying INLAND WETLANDS IDENTIFICATION ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS SOIL CLASSIFICATION AND MAPPING from 2 to 6 inches. The horizon above the ironpan is a very dark topsoil while below is present a light olive brown to light olive gray mottled sand. The ironpan is associated with both poorly and moderately well drained soils on the site. Disturbances from agriculture have resulted in the formation of soil mapping complexes witnin the field. Within areas identified as poorly drained soils, there are small inclusions of moderately well drained soils which, due to the soil complexity cannot be mapped out as a separate unit. Likewise, within the moderately well drained soils there are areas of poorly drained soils which cannot be mapped separate. It was evident throughout the period of my site inspections that the hydrology of the site has changed significantly. Relatively dry to slightly moist conditions were present in the poorly drained soils. The seasonal high ground water table was not present in any of the poorly drained soils. Past drainage work on the site included the construction of ditches and likely tile drains. Drainage work throughout the locality has also likely added to the significant change with the present hydrology. The main ditch which runs from west to east along the edge of the field has a depth of four feet. No water or soil saturation was present in the ditch during the inspection. The permeable nature of these soils make them relatively easy to drain when an outlet is available. It appears that water levels have dropped by two or more feet in these soils. In addition, during the wettest times of the year these soils may become saturated, but likely for much shorter periods than was formerly characteristic. The delineation of the soils having poorly drained features on the site was made in an attempt to identify the existing wetlands. Due to past disturbances to the site, the soils have become drier than under the conditions through which they have formed. The presence of mottled soils throughout the site and the well established wetland vegetation within the forested area indicate that wetland conditions were once associated with extensive areas on the property. The wetland soils delineation which I have made provides the approximate location of the original wetland areas plus some disturbed poorly drained soil areas within the field. At the present time drainage conditions have made the site drier and this should be noted by any regulatory agency making a review of the property. If in the future the present drainage conditions are altered and allowed to revert back to their previous drainage condition, then the delineation of the poorly drained soils would be of greater importance. The poorly drained soils would be characterized by a seasonal high ground water table at or near the surface, be capable of supporting wetland vegetation and be able to provide a variety of wetland functions.

As has been previously reported, I found poorly drained wetland soils to cover large areas on site in a complex pattern. There is a notable difference between the areas marked as wetland within the open field versus the forested land. Within the forest, the soils are undisturbed and contain distinct soil profiles formed over a long period of time. Poorly drained soils occur in the low flat forested land while better drained soils are located on the raised hummocks. Wetland forest vegetation is closely associated with the poorly drained soils. The upslope better drained soils contain a predominance of upland drier type forest vegetation. In my opinion, the poorly drained soils in the forest would be judged as wetlands under the criteria used by the Army Corps of Engineers. In the open field, the effects of land leveling and plowing over a long period of agricultural use are reflected in the soils. The soils in the field are frequently a transitional mix of wetland and non-wetland characteristics. The vegetation in the field consists mainly of grasses and herbaceous species which commonly grow on both wetland and non-wetland soils. In my opinion the poorly drained soils located in the field do not qualify as wetlands under the criteria utilized by the Army Corps of Engineers. During my inspections which occurred in November and December, 1987 I notably failed to detect a ground water table within the poorly drained soils on the site. There was no ground water table within 36 inches of the soil surface. In combination with on-site ditches and possibly tile drainage in the field, drainage projects throughout the general locality have likely lowered the seasonal ground water table elevations. In order to make a better determination of the recent changes in hydrology on the site, it is recommended that periodic site INLAND WETLANDS IDENTIFICATION ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS SOIL CLASSIFICATION AND MAPPING inspections be made throughout the winter and spring months. These inspections would be made to detect surface water ponding or saturated soil conditions within the poorly drained soils. If the results of the inspections show relatively dry soil conditions throughout the site for this period then dramatic drainage changes have likely occurred. If however, a seasonal high ground water table remains at or close to the soil surface in the wetland areas then the poorly drained soils would appear to be accurately reflecting wetland conditions. A better understanding of the actual wetland conditions existing on the site will be essential for the eventual determination of environmental impacts resulting from the proposed site development.

Moran, Jr. , Chairman South Windsor Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission 1540 Sullivan Avenue South Windsor, CT 06074 RE: Application Review - David Brown Associates - #88-33P Dear Mr. Moran: The plan presented indicates an intense activity of about 7 acres around the buildings plus 0.8 acres of swale out of the 38. 6 total for this application. The wetlands have been field located and they have shown the variation from the Town Mapping. The regulated activity would include sections 2.1.i, j & k, 5. 1 and 5 . 2 of the regulations plus our map should be modified per section 3 . 2. It appears that about one half of the building area falls within the wetlands. They also indicate that the constructed swale and detention area shall become wetlands. The initial issue would be whether a permit would be granted for the removal of this wetlands from the inventory and creation of a new area would be adequate. There are no specifics that goes with the creation, it would take more than just a note on the plan. There should be an educated opinion of this proposal on the water if such a permit were granted, the Erosion & Sedimentation control plan would be the next issue before the Commission. There are no dimensions on Sheet 4 of 9, a number of assumptions are made such as slopes shall be no greater than 1' vertical to 4' horizontal, there will be a 15' non disturbance buffer along the boundary to preserve the existing hard wood trees. In the Erosion & Sedimentation control notes #3 "Land Disturbance to be kept to a minimum: restabilization will be scheduled as soon as practical" , is an impractical solution. Individual siltation basins can protect this flat site for storm protection, the major erosion problem could be from the wind. There is a potential of over 7 acres exposed to the wind at one time for no reason . The second item in the construction schedule, haybales and/or silt fencing are to be placed in the bottom of the swales that are being dug in Item 5. A modification in the sequence could include only one building permit at a time and only issued after the detention area and Swale have measurable grass cover. This isn't a solution, but they should show a realistic construction approach. Mr. John J. Moran, Jr. RE: David Brown Associates If an Inland Wetlands permit were granted with conditions, they could include: 1. Modifications to the plans to show maximum 4:1 slopes, stockpile location, limits of construction, buffering of J neighbors, siltation basins, extend anti-tracking apron to existing pavement and resolve the conflict between the construction schedule and the E & S control notes. 2. Item 3 in the E & S control notes to be adjusted to 30 days or as directed. 3 . Significant or specimen trees should be located along NF Albert J. Schneider and methods of their preservation should be shown. 4 . Dust protection should be addressed on the v P plan. 5 . The effect on the ground water table should be addressed. Up and downstream. 6 . The plans are marked "Not Released for Construction" which is correct. Prior to construction the plans as modified shall have to be approved. 7 . A bond would be required to cover the compliance requirement. If on 3 . 86 acres, this should be indicated. Very truly yours, .52 A. Bowen Davies Deputy Town Engineer ABD/jsv cc: David A.

Moran, Jr. , Chairman South Windsor Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission 1540 Sullivan Avenue South Windsor, CT 06074 RE: David Brown - Fuss & O'Neill Report of May 23, 1988 Dear Mr. Moran: The supplemental information doesn't change the obligation of the Agency to address the feasible and prudent aspects for development of the wetlands with the issuance of a permit. Their drainage input does require more detailed information, not for the commission action, but overall development of the 95 acre watershed. An expansion of their report could result in 70 acres of impervious coverage discharging down a 3,500 L.F. open channel at a minimum grade to the 24" outlet at Nutmeg Road North. This can be a delicate maneuver where an inch here and there could make it impossible to drain the abutter without an excessive expense. Their proposal for construction from the outlet upstream should be reflected in sufficient and appropriate detail on their plans maintaining drainage from the abutter. Their proposal for a swale along the northerly boundary cannot be covered in a paragraph or so. In keeping with the "Guidelines" , there should be an area of non disturbance around the mature trees in this "buffer area" . The plans should be modified to show the trees in this area and the protection proposed. Perhaps a reduction of the building length could ease the impact. The "creation of a more valuable wetlands environment" does require more detail. A recent site that was over excavated to bring the watertable closer to the surface installed an aeration system to retard the algae growth, resulting in a motorized wetlands . An open water pond isn't what I envision as a wetland enhancement. Mr. John M. Moran, Jr. , Chairman Page 2 Inland Wetlands Agency In summary, the plans are not for construction. Pending a decision on a wetlands permit, the plans should be revised and heard after modification. Very truly yours, A. Bowen Davies Deputy Town Engineer ABD/jsv cc: David Brown Michael J.

Brown Site Plan - IWC Letter June 29, 1988 - PZC Letter August 9, 1988 Dear Ms . Banack, The Owner/Developer David A. Brown has agreed to abide by the comments concerning his Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission approval of June 27, 1988 and his Planning and Zoning Commission approval of July 26, 1988. Attached are six (6) copies of the Wetland Creation Plan and narrative concerning its concept/execution prepared by Philip Barske. I reviewed the above with the Commission at there November 19, 1988 meeting and received a positive response. Phil Barske and his associate will be involved in the total process of developing the new wetlands areas. Fuss and O'Neil has submitted the required six (6) copies of the revised site plans to your office, including milars of drawings # 2 and # 4 , on September 81 1988. David Brown is ready to post two (2) letters of credit to cover the $7, 000 Landscape Bond and the $10, 000 Erosion and Sedimentation Bond. The banks of the swale will be seeded with Crownvetch while the swale bottom and two (2) feet up each side will be seeded with a grass mixture of 20% Kentucky Blue Grass, 20% Tall Fescue, 25% Red Fescue, 1500- Perennial Rye Grass and 5% Red Top. Phil Barske feels the above provides the best low maintenance ground cover for the swale. Dave Browns lawyer is investigating how the maintenance of the swale can be incorporated into chain of title for the property. Maintenance of the swale would include the picking up of trash and debris quarterly and the removal of silt deposits when it impedes the design flow of water. The remaining terms on both the IWC approval and the P & Z approval will be complied with and addressed as they are required in the construction process, hence I feel the plans are ready for the Town's final review/sign off. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call . We appreciate both your and Liz's assistance in obtaining IWA/P&Z approvals. Si erel Andrew B. "Srdith --" pc: David A.

The areas of concern are as follows: Topsoil: The original estimate of topsoil depth was believed to be approximately 611. The actual topsoil depth in some areas is 12" to 24". This variance has caused an increase in the size of the topsoil stockpile. The stockpile will be extended easterly as required. Stumps: The original plan called for stumps to be buried on site. It was decided during meetings with the Town that the stumps would be ground on site. The stockpile for the stump grindings will be on the Northeast corner of the topsoil stockpile. Access: Field conditions have prevented the movement of heavy equipment through the Western end of the swale. This has resulted in a swale excavation that will work both ends towards the middle. A 25' - 30' wide path will be required in the existing field as a temporary area for heavy equipment to move material. This path will run East - West for approximately 3001 . If your have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your attention. Si ce el William A.

Although this is a notification based on a routin site visit, you are ultimately responsible for inspecting and maintaining the site. March 2, 1990 I inspected the site. For the most part the erosion and sedimentation control measures seem to be in accordance with the approved plans. My concern is with the amount of sandy barren surface which has been exposed off and on throughout the winter. The area in question is that which is associated with the proposed building locations. With the onset of spring winds I would recommend that this area should be protected against wind erosion if the buildings are not soon scheduled to be built. I would suggest that perhaps a liquid polymer might be appropriate for the site. This will b filed with your approval/permit for the site. It is your responsibility to maintain the site and repeated violations/problems will be forwarded to appropriate Commissions. If you have any question regarding this, contact me at 644-2511.

Of primary concern is the reseeding of all disturbed areas A.S.A.P! The sandy soils will be difficult to establish lawn any later in the season. Use mulch to help hold moisture on seed bed. Repair all gullies forming on slopes. 2. Repair double row of silt fence at outlet under Nutmeg Road North. Clean up debris from siltation basin. 3. No check dams were placed in swale, but flatness of grade seems adequate (along with riprap at bends) to preclude significant erosion. The exceptions being: at inlet to wetlands creation area where stream becomes braided; and where debris has fallen across and caused erosion on the banks. 4. No snow fence was installed for tree protection. Barked up trees should be monitored. Remove flagging at clearing limits so as not to cause future bark damage. 5. Topsoil area was relocated to lie parallel with existing ditch. Seed and surround with haybales as directed on plan. 6. Existing ditch is eroding through dike at southeast end of wetlands creation area. The simplest solution would be to place a culvert at outfall, or place filter fabric around the stone to keep the fines from washing away. 7. The five acre building site cannot be left exposed. Though bark mulch would avert wind erosion, spreading topsoil and seeding would be a better solution for the long term. 8. In general, the project looked good, but must be stabilized before problems arise. 87-408 0518A90DMS1 DBA DAM BROWN ASSOCIATES Building Management May 22, 1990 Certified Mail Mr. Albert J.

Currently, I have already taken care of Article #2- Drainage Swale by performing: dress barren/snady bank areas with top soil, seeding with Italian Rye/scatch in, fertilizing with a high nitrogen fertilizer, hay mulch to disturbed areas, and having existing grass catch to a marginal amount. Also, the Drainage Swale has been performing as designed and we will continue to routinely inspect and maintain the site which includes cutting the grass. In reference to Article #4- Building Platform, I have already taken care of this as well by spreading 3" to 4" of top soil, seeding with Italian Rye, and fertilizing with a high nitrogen fertilizer. This area has been stabilized with grass and the erosion and sedimentation control measures are in accordance with the approved plan. Due to the current state of the economy and banks unwilling to lend money for raw land, has made it difficult for me to complete Article #1 and Article #2 at this time.

Brown March 3, 1997 998 Farmington Avenue West Hartford, CT 06107 Dear Mr. Brown: Re: Expiration of Permit #88-33P, Brown Subdivision/Governor's Hwy This is a reminder that the permit with the Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission, application #88-33P will expire on June 18, 1997. If you plan to extend your project beyond the above expiration date, you must apply for an extension at least sixty-five (65) days prior to the expiration date. There will be a thirty-five dollar ($35) fee required for an extension of the permit. This includes a ten dollar ($10.00) surcharge assessed by the State, to fund the State Environmental Review Team. An application for an extension shall be made in accordance with the following subsection of the IWA/CC Regulations: a. The duration of any amendment or extension shall be for three years unless otherwise specified in the permit. b. The application may incorporate by reference the documentation and record of the original application. C. The application shall state the reason why the authorized activities were not initiated or completed within the time specified in the permit. d. The application shall describe any changes in facts or circumstances involved with or affecting wetlands or watercourses or the property for which the permit was issued. e. In unusual situations the Agency may accept an untimely application to extend the expiration date of a permit if the authorized activity is ongoing and allow the continuation of work beyond the expiration date if in its judgement, the permit is likely to be extended and the public interest or environment will be best served by not interrupting the activity; the application shall describe the extent of work completed at the time of filing and the schedule for completing the activities authorized in the permit. f. The Agency shall evaluate the application pursuant to these regulations and grant the application as filed, grant it with any terms or limitations, or deny it; and shall state upon the record the reason(s) for its decision. In the event that you are requesting an extension, section 8.1.6 of the Zoning Regulations establishes the process for monitoring the approved conservation plan. Per that regulation, a progress report is required from the applicant's engineer verifying that erosion and sedimentation control measures have been installed and maintained in accordance with the approved conservation plan. This verification report shall also be submitted 65 days prior to the expiration date of the permit to allow time for the Commissioners to evaluate your project controls. If work has been finished or will be finished by the expiration date, please send a letter stating work is completed according to the approved plan. If you have any questions call me or Jeffrey H. Folger, Zoning/Wetlands Enforcement Officer at 644-2511, ext 253. e ruly yours, Phyl M.
