2003 FARMLAND PRESERVATION
PATHFINDER AWARD
The Farmland Preservation Pathfinder Awards are designed to recognize individuals
and organizations that have supported farmland preservation in innovative ways that
might include but are not limited to:
♦ Public education campaigns - e.g. an educational institution or community
organization that raises public awareness of farmland preservation tools or promotes
greater understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing farmland
preservation.
♦ Building partnerships to preserve farmland - e.g. a private land trust that partners
with a local municipality to raise funds to preserve local working lands; a partnering
between recreational/open space planners with farmers to maximize public use of
property while maintaining an agricultural enterprise.
♦ Development of creative financing schemes to fund farmland preservation - e.g. a
land trust that temporarily purchases and holds the development rights of a farm while
a state offer from the Farmland Preservation Program is pending for the same piece of
property; or a creative business plan for working lands that ensures farm viability with
support from a municipality or private organization.
♦ Advocacy on behalf of farmland preservation - e.g. a farmer that testifies regularly
at the State capitol, an agricultural advocate or organization that submits commentary
for print media, or an organization that leads an effective grassroots lobbying
campaign.
♦ Strategic planning for local conservation and development- e.g. a town or city that
has undertaken unique planning activities that are designed to protect working lands
through the local plan of conservation and development; a private organization that
fosters a vision of conservation in a heritage area that places farmland preservation as
its central focus.

Tear Ms-Poleto_
I have delh)eated Hand wetlands and watercourses at the sites located on Troy Road (Map
111, lot 27) and Sullivan Avenue (Map 111, lot 28) in South Windsor Connecticut. In
addition, I have obtained 100 scale mapping from the town showing topography, structures
and approximate lot limes to use as a base snap for sketching the wetland boundaries (Refer to
enclosed sketch). The purpose of this letter is to describe the existing site conditions, tabulate
the flag numbers and wetland types and describe the soil found in the areas delineated. The
property was examined on May 9, 2003 and the limits of the study area are shown on the
attached sketch --
Existing Conditions
The properties are located northwest of the unersection of Troy Road and Sullivan Avenue in
South Windsor, CT. Lot 27 fronts on Troy Road and lot 28 fronts on Sullivan Avenue. The
topography is nearly flat with short slopes going down into the wetlands. Surface water ruu off
enter the wetlands from all directions, but given the porous nature of the soils present, most
rainwater infiltrates and reaches the wetlauds,via shallow groundwater discharge.
A house and out-building are present on lot 27 but have not been used in several years and are
dilapidated_ Lot 28 lacks structures, but the soil along Sullivan Avenue shown signs of
alteration and filling.
Both wetlands and uplands on the site generally have hardwoods of up to 1 foot in diameter.
The wetlands on the site generally a red-maple dornilnaut wooded swamp,but also contain area
of intermittent watercourse and areas of seasonal flooding.

Wetland and Soil TYPes
The wetland delineation was performed on May 9 of 2003, and the table below provides
wetland flag numbers, soil type, and wetland type. Note that the all wetlmid flags delineate
parts of the same wetland system
Table 1—Wetland Flay Numbers,Soil Types and Wetland Types
Fkg Numbers Soils Wetland Tvnc Typical Vegetation
WFl-1 to WF l-18, Walpole fine sandy Forested,reel maple Red maple,yellow birch
loam, and, swamp spicebusln,sweet
WF 2-1 to 2-5 pepperbush,lvghbusli
Scarboro mucky fine USF WS Class: blueberry, cinnamon fern,

WF 5-1 to 5-11 Mixed hardwoods in the
WF 6-1 to 6-3 upland island delineated
by flags 4-1 to 4-16 and
5-1 to 5-11
The on-site soils are fomled in glacial outwasb, a water-sorted deposit that typically coantaims
strata of sand and gravel- Hand auger borings conducted on this site revealed the parent
material to be well-sorted sand to a depth of up to 20 niches. The upland soils are of the
Ninigret series, and the wetland soils are of theWalpole series along the outer edge of the
wetland_ In the deeper, wetter parts of tlne wetland the soils are muckier and of the Scarboro
series_
The wetland on site',a zed maple swamp, is one of the most common wetland types m Hartford
County. The trees in this wetland are typically approximately 10-20 inches dbh(Diameter at
breast height)_ The shrubs in the under-story are moderately dense and typically 4- 10 feet
high. The herbaceous layer was not completely evident at tile.tine ofthe delineation_
The on-site wetland performs a number of functions. Among its p6nary functions are wildlife
habitat, stormwater renovation, and groundwater discharge/recharge. Note that a CTDFP
listed Species of Special Concern, eastern box turtle(TeiTapene c. earolim) was found within
the wetland delineated by flags 2-1 to 2-5. Based on areas of standing water found during the
delineation,there.is the potential for vernal pools(important miphibian brfA-,ding habitat)within
the main body of the wetland.

Summalty
There are extensive wetlands on this site, and the priaxlary wetland funLl:ions they provide are
wildlife habitat, stonnwater renovation, and groundwater dischargelrecharge. Wildlife habitat
is a noteworthy function given the presence of the eastern box turtle. Other wetland functions
are of moderate value_ Given the extensive amount of wetlands, any proposed alterations to
the site will likely require a permit from the towel wetland agency. Future use of this site will be
closely regulated due to the amount and functions of the wetlands_ l strongly recommend
consultation with town wetland officer (Jeffery Folger, ZoninglWetlaud Officer, 860-644-
2511)in order to assess any potential future uses of this land.
Please contact me ifyou have any questions.
