The regulated activity involves the filling of a portion of an existing detention basin and deepening of the same basin. The filling will require 1,030 cubic yards of earth from on-site material. Construction activity in the basin will require about 30 days. This application is very similar to #93-14R which was approved for this site on September 13, 1993. That application was for a SRD facility that was obviously not built. We followed the same concept as in the previous application and did not encroach on the two southerly wetlands. All of the wetland filling is concentrated in the detention basin and the two fingers emanating from the basin area. The remaining detention basin is proposed to be deepened to maintain adequate hydraulic capabilities. The volume of the proposed basin is greater than the existing basin. 85489\A2\7000\.l DP0829.W PD Corres. SUMMERVILLE HEALTHCARE GROUP , INC .

ELLINGTON ROAD — SOUTH WINDSOR PREPARED FOR FUSS & O'NEILL, INC. BY JOBN`P. IANNI PROFESSIONAL SOIL SCIENTIST SEPTEMBER 1997 j i P.O. Box 337, Storrs,Connecticut 06268 (860) 742-5868 INTRODUCTION; Summerville at South Windsor is a proposed assisted living center on a -parcel .of land to, the west of the Town Shopping Center on Ellington Road in South Windsor-; CT. The project consists of a three story, building with associated improvements. The wetland boundaries on the site were field .delineated by Tom Pietras Certified Soil Scientist. The wetland boundaries were verified for a previously approved project and were found to be---,substantially correct. SOIL."RESOURCES. 4 The soils -on the subject site are underlain by loamy to clayey glaciolacustrine ".(glacial lake) deposits. The upland soils on the property were identified as belonging to the moderately well drained Elmridge and Bancroft Series. The wetland soils.'were identified as belonging to the poorly, drained Shaker Series. Man-made upland soils -were idehtified. along the western edge of the property along a constructed berm which serves as the .western. limit of "an existing detention basin. The; bottom of the basin was identified as wet man-made soils. j VEGETATION The site contains two main `vegetative. communities. The southern third-.of the "site is forested .with mixed hardwood t species..` The canopy;or tree layer is sparse and is dominated by Red Maple (Aces rubrum), Amer can; Elm (Ulmus americans) and Pin Oak (Ouercus. palustris) . !,The shrub layer is very thick and is dominated }ay_S lkyDogwood (Cornus. amomum) Red-Osier Dogwood (Corpus stolonifera) and Arrowood, (Viburnum recoanitump are also present. The species listed above are found it both the uplands and wetlands within the forested areas`< on'the sate. The vegetative cbmmu,nity is more indipative of"a wetland 'than an upland. The finger of wet ands .in' the southeastercorner ,of the site 10 .dominated by Buttonbush (Cephalantus occidentalis) , -an aquatic shrub species'.' The cefitral:-portion of the site contains a mix of woody vegetation comprised mainly ofshrub species with Silky Dogwood being dominant.. hi's pgrtion of thessite -is occasionally mowed and containe meadow,. species within the mowed areas . Goldenrod {Solidaao svp. ) and Sensitive Fexn; (Onoclea sensibi'lis) are ddffiinaht ,in the snowed areas f . 2 The wetlands in the_northern and central portion of the site consist of wet meadow species. This vegetative community, includes a mix of sedges, grasses and native wildflower species. The existing detention basin contains wet meadow species that are dominated by Cat-tails (Tvnha` latifoiia) and species of the Bulrush fam"ily (Scirpus spp. ) . The cat-tails occupy the northern portion of the detention basin but are quickly spreading to the south. PROPOSED WETLAND .ACTIVITY As part of the overall site improvements two areas of wetland soils" w=ill be filled. The two fingers ofwetlands that extend south from" the detention basin will be filled.. The two wetlands are wet meadows, with the western-most of the fingers having marginal. wetland hydrology. Additionally, the southern- most edge of' the. detention basin will be filled and a portion of tho-4xisting basin ,will be deepened to provide additional storage capacity. At the request of the Fire Marshall, a gravel and grass drive is proposed around the 'entire building to provide access for emergency, vehicles. This access drive will require grading, inclose proximity to the two southern wetland fingers. Ali storm water is to be .directed to the existing detention basin via a closed drainage system that includes a hooded sedimentation structure. prior to the outlet to the basin. The proposed fire access road will have a gravel base but will be loamed and seeded and maintained, as lawn. As part of the .proposed project, an upland area" in the southwestern corner of the site has been designated as a potential wetland mitigation site. This potential mitigation area is currently forested. However, . the wetland impacts on 'the property will require' the loss of wet meadow habitat. 'In order to compensate "for the loss of wet meadow habitat, the forested area would have to be converted to meadow. , Although the , conversion is physically possible,'< forested .habitat is 'lacking in k the area. and wet" meadow habitat is plentiful . in the surrounding area. Therg" ore, '-it s recommended that the potential mitigation area be mantained as forested habitat. To the west of the subject sito` is a large Bond surrounded by a wet meadow: This off. site "m��dow 'extends north' to .Ellington Road. Additionally, to the north of Ellington Road and along the 'Podunk River system, a very large contiggous wet .meadow exists. The existing forested block in the southernl limits of the site ,provides much needed - . edge habitat andforested cover forelocal wildlife. Although its is the intent' of, the applicant to mitigate potential adverse impacts by- the conversion =of forest to meadow, the forested habitat may provide more benefit to the area. It is highly recommended that the potential mitigation area ;be preserved as forested habitat through a deed,,restriction. 3 In conclusion, although wetland impacts are being proposed, those impacts are limited to 'the loss of wet meadow habitat that is very plentiful in the general area. The preservation of the small block of .forested habitat through" a deed restriction can be considered as mitigation,;.,al.though .no wetlands are being created. The forest area in the south of the site currently contains mostly wetland species and provides diversity in habitat types. The' impacts to the wetland within the detention basin are !temporary in 'nature and the overall function of this wetland will not be compromised. Additional notes- have been added to the plan " regarding the excavation and seeding of the basin that will ensure continued growth of wetland vegetation with no loss of functional value. f T 0 ceflLr Ellington Road and Buckland Road at the Five Corners September 2, 1997 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: This is to verify that the undersigned owner of the land does hereby authorize this application submitte by Summerville at South Windsor, CT, LLC, An Assisted Living Zchard ty.

Folger Zoning/`Wetlands Enforcement Officer Town of South Windsor Re: Review of Summerville Assisted Living Facility, Ellington Road,plans dated 8/29/97. I have reviewed the site plans for the proposed Summerville Assisted Living facility with the following comments: 1. "Wet Meadow"seed mix should show specific species compliment and percentage. 2. Do the estimates for wetland disturbance include the wetland areas extending from the detention basin to the south? 3. Profiles of the detention basin,present and proposed, should be shown. 4. The soil stockpile is proposed to be placed in the location of the parking lot. The construction narrative should explain in greater detail the sequencing of the building, parking lot and storm system. 5. The wetland boundaries need to be located in the field. 6. The proposed disturbance to the existing detention basin is planned to occur while stormwater from Town Center is continuing to discharge into the basin. In order to insure acceptable water quality during construction the proposal will require a detailed phasing plan that incorporates grading changes by section with erosion controls erected to create a series of progressive filters leading to the outlet. cc. Town Engineer Town Planner IWA/CC MEMORANDUM To: South Windsor Inland Wetland/Conservation Commission. From: Jeffrey H. Folger-Zoning/Wetland Enforcement Officer Date: September 10, 1997 Re: Review of the proposed Summerville Assisted Living Facility. Plans dated 8/29/97. The project is create a 60,000 sgft Assisted Living Facility in one building on 3.6 acres. Proposed regulated activities include filling approximately 7500 sgft of relatively undisturbed wetland and 14,000sgft of an existing detention basin. This basin was created from an existing wetland. I estimate the proposed disturbance will be approximately 21,000sgft or %2 acre. The permit application does not state this amount. Site: The site is located in the Podunk River watershed. The parcel is comprised of 3.6 acres. Currently the site is a meadow and is being used as stormwater detention and conveyance. The wetlands on the site are comprised of four fingers that run toward the center of the property from the southwest, the south, and the northeast. The wetland areas to the northeast are the ones proposed to be affected. They are primarily wet meadows, which have been kept mowed, leading to the detention basin. The basin is about %2 vegetated with cattails toward the northern end and a wet meadow at the southern end. The basin empties to a small wetland depression before flowing north under Ellington Road and into the Podunk River. The wetlands to the south are a mix of shrub species with high food productivity and cover for wildlife. These areas are not proposed-to be disturbed. . The wet meadow areas proposed to be disturbed have low functionality. The basin itself has high functions for nutrient retention, sediment trapping, wildlife habitat, and stormwater attenuation. The proposed plan calls for reworking the entire detention basin, contrary to initial discussions, as well as changing the outlet structure. The basin will still be receiving stormwater from Town Center during this process. The two fingers that extend southerly from the basin are proposed to be filled with the building located on top. Minor grading and the emergency access road surrounding the building are proposed in the 40' buffer of the southern most wetlands. Impacts: Impacts from the loss of the wet meadow areas should be minor. This activity was approved by this Commission in 1992 with a different configuration of buildings. The work proposed in the existing detention basin could cause sediment to leave the site. £g'I H Memorandum a . x.
