Thank you for your cooperation and courtesy. Yours truly, Peter Ja Alter Attorney for LaCava Construction Company cc: Joseph LaCava Close, Jensen and Miller, attn: Kevin Johnson MEMORANDUM To: South Windsor Inland Wetland/Conservation Commission. From: Jeffrey H. Folger—Environmental Planner/Conservation Officer Date: July 12, 2005 Re: Appl #05-28W,Review of the proposed Beechwood Farms Lot#12. Plans dated 6/15/04. The current parcel is comprised of 0.64 acres. The project is to construct a residential dwelling. Regulated activities involve the clearing and grading and construction of a portion of a house within the wetland area, and construction of a house and grading within the 80-foot upland review area. The house would be located approximately 10-feet from the new wetland boundary at its closest, and proposed clearing to occur within the wetland boundary. Estimated disturbance is approximately 1,870 sgft within the wetland and in excess of 11,475 sgft within the URA. Site: The site is located in the Quarry Brook sub-watershed of the Podunk River watershed. Currently the site is a hardwood forest with red maple dominating the overstory. The understory is dominated by spicebush and summer sweet, the forest floor is dominated by skunk cabbage and tussock sedge in the wetland portion. The majority of the site is wetlands with the northwest and southeast corners of the site being upland. The northwest corner of the parcel slopes gently to the south transitioning to a flat floodplain in the middle and southern portion of the site. Wetlands on the site are located on the center 2/3 of the site. The wetlands would be characterized as a forested wetland with a small perennial watercourse running through it. The watercourse is a tributary of Quarry Brook. This wetland is connected to a larger wetland system that runs through a densely populated residential housing development. The wetland system forms a wooded corridor that meanders through the development that is largely undisturbed except for several road crossings. The wetland boundary shown on the plans appears to be accurate. Major functions of this wetland area would be flood storage, stormwater conveyance, groundwater recharge, wildlife habitat,nutrient and sediment trapping and assimilation, and aesthetics. Wildlife habitat values for the wetlands would be moderate to high based on the relative size and connection to other wetland areas in the vacinity. Residential homes surround the wetlands on the parcel on three sides, so ecological integrity is limited; however the relative undisturbed linear orientation of the wetland is a significant plus. This wetland abuts a large open space parcel to the east and provides diversity to the to the shrub-scrub habitat types on that parcel. The initial application of Beechwood Farms Phase I eliminated eleven wetland areas totaling 71,400 sgft. Phase II eliminated ten wetland areas totaling 55,000 sqft. This development significantly reduced the ecological integrity, wildlife habitat to aquatic organisms (vernal pool elimination), flood storage and groundwater recharge capability of the wetlands in the area. Impacts: The limit of clearing is localized to accommodate the house, front yard and a rear yard area. This configuration provides a very small yard area for residential use. The close proximity of the house and lawn area to the wetland and watercourse(20 feet at the closest point)is reasonably likely to impact water quality and wetland function by the generation of pollution in the form of nutrients from lawn fertilizers,pesticides, sediments from construction activities. A portion of the 100 year flood zone is proposed to be filled. This deficit in storage is proposed to be mitigated by excavating a portion outside of the base flood elevation to balance the storage capacity. Soils on the site are listed as Elmwood Sandy Loam(EnA) 0-3% slopes by the Hartford County Soil Survey. This soil type has an erosion potential listed as low to medium. Standard perimeter erosion controls should be adequate to contain sediment onsite provided that the controls are properly maintained and not disturbed by construction activities. The close proximity of the disturbed area to the wetlands and watercourse makes this problematic.

My iuvestigations were conducted utilizing a spade and auger. I am of the opinion that the wetland boundary as d4lineated is aeourate. Lots I 1 and 12 are contiguous and across the street from lot 28. The three lets have houses adjacent to them on Quarry Brook Drive. The wetland on all three sites consist of an intermittent stre=that flows through a culvert under Quarry Brook Road from lots 1 l & 12 to lot 28. This intermittent su-own is more clearly defined on lot 28. Vegetation within the wedwid,on lots 11 and 12 consists of skunk cabbago,I orLhern amowwood, winterberryholly,red maple and groon ash. Soils within the wetland are predominately Walpole fine sandy lowns. Walpole soils are very deep(>65 iuches)poorly drained soils that form in water sorted glacial outwash and stratifiied drift, ney have an apparent water table that is at or near iho surface much of the year. Permeability of the Walpolc soils is moderately rapid in the surface layer and subsoil and rapid or very rapid is the substratum, As stated previously the channel of the intermittent stream is more clearly defined on hot 28 so that the boundary ofthc rosource area is at the top of buk. Upland vegetation on all three sites ennsists of white pine,red oath,cottonwood,and red maple. If you should have any questions,please call this office at your convenience. Sincerely; Michael F.
