A ' consortium. of biologists , ecologists , geologists , soil scientists , and hydrol- ogists applied their various skills to facilitate and coordinate environmental decision-making at the community level . The task was accomplished by advising the various community conservation and wet- land agencies involved . At the end of the 12-month funding period , requests for assistance continued and- resulted in the formation of a private firm - Environmental Management Counselors . EMC provides comprehensive services in the development of a complete site analysis including mapping of site characteristics , engineering evaluation, special feature delineation, geological analysis and aquatic studies, each of which are appropriately documented as a matter of procedure for each site investigation .

Application # 171 INVENTORY A detention basin to handle 50 acres of runoff is proposed for this industrial area. The detention basin is planned to be offset to the south of the brook on the east side of Route 5. It will generally be in the wooded area, The wooded area is predominantly red maple, a wetland type tree. Generally the woodland is WdA - Walpole sandy loam, an inland wetland soil with a mottled to brown gravelly loamy sand at 22 to 48 inches. A portion of the woods is SsA -- Sudbury fine sandy loam, a moderately well drained soil with a mottled coarse sand and gravel at 26 to 40 inches. A large shallow barrow area exists on the property. It is man made and has an outlet flowing to the west. - -EVALUATION A detailed design of the detention basin will be necessary for a more complete review. If the existing watertable i,s lowered by ditching, the control point of the pond depth for available stormwater storage would be the invert (bottom}, of the culvert under Route 5. It would be best that the bottom elevation of the stormwater storage area begin at normal watertable.. The Walpole soil. is generally going to have a normal watertable close to the surface. The Walpole subsoil has very unstable banks. The detention basin can be used as a temporary sediment basin during construction. It would then need constant cleanout during and right after construction. The barrow area could be regraded and established with appropriate wildlife annuals and perennials for maximum wildlife uses if wildlife is determined to be the dominant land use. The area in its present condition has limited uses. Other considerations for this area may be; fill it in. for urban recreation or agri- cultural uses; dike the area for a shallow waterfowl po-da; or leave as is. To determine if the barrow area is now a wetland should be defined by a soil scientist.Vern Anderson, District Conservationist CC: A.

To the east is a residential development • called Pleasant Valley Estates. Both the industrial park and the residential development have a . history of high groundwater problems. EMC, Inc . was asked to investigate the groundwater situation in and near the industrial park and to determine what effect, if any, the activities in the park, past and future, might have on the ground- water in the adjacent residential area. This report was prepared by Dr. Charles Wm. Dimmick, a Certified Professional Geologist, whose background and credentials are attached to this report for informational purposes. Materials used in prepar- ing this report include boring data obtained by Engineering Services, Inc. , Glastonbury, Connecticut (Clarence Welti) in September of 1967 and by Geotechnical Consultants, Inc . (on contract to Durcell Asso- ciates, Glastonbury) in June, 1976. Pertinent data from the boring • logs is included in Table I and test hole locations are shown on the accompanying map entitled, "Groundwater Study of the Parkcentre Development. " gY Geolo and Soils —. The entire area is underlain by old lake bed silts and varved . clays on top of which are 12 to 20 feet of alluvial and glacial 2 . outwash sands. The top of the varved clays is remarkably flat (about 3 ft. variation in elevation) and the variation of sand thickness is mainly a reflection of surface topography. The soils which have developed are a reflection of topography and depth to groundwater. All of the soils show presence of a seasonal high water table. Where this seasonal high water table is more than a foot below the surface, Sudbury and Ninigrit fine sandy loams have developed. Where the seasonal high water table was historically at or almost at the surface, Walpole fine sandy loams developed; and where the water table stayed high year-round, the very poorly drained Scarboro 'loams developed. Long use of the land for agricultural pur- poses included partial drainage of the wetter areas, but this has not changed the basic soil characteristics. Recent construction activi- ties have involved massive redistribution of the surficial materials over much of the site, making it difficult to determine in the field what the original soil conditions were. Thus, for this report, we have depended on the February 1962 Soil Survey of Hartford County, Connecticut and the "South Windsor Inland Wetlands and Watercourses" map of March 1974 for pre-construction conditions. Groundwater Conditions Inspection of soil and topographic maps reveals that ground- water would have been very near the surface, uredevelopment, on both • the industrial site and the adjacent residential site during the wet seasons. Much of both areas are underlain by poorly drained and very poorly drained wetland soils. Groundwater would be at its highest 3. elevation (about 78 ft. ) just north of the playground N.W. of • Edgewood Drive, with the water table sloping -to the south, east and west. Within the residential development, the groundwater would be highest (75-76 ft. ) just west of the north-west section • of Judy Lane, sloping to both east and west. The water table mounds under Barbara Road, sloping away in all directions, and slopes both north and south from the lots lying on the south side of Judy Lane. originally, the slope of the water table to the west was more to the southwest and was very gentle, about one foot vertical for every 300 foot horizontal, or a .slope of 0. 34%. Two man-made constructions have changed the picture. The . first was the digging of the old farm ditch which lies on the border between the industrial park and the residential area. This lowered the wet season water table as much as three feet in the vicinity of the ditch and Newberry Road. Except for those homes within 200 feet of the ditch, it would not have had a significant effect on water levels within the residential area. The second change was the excavation of the area between the old ditch and Newberry Road and the construction of a new ditch. This has dramatically lowered the wet season water table on the • industrial site, in some places by as much as six feet; but the effects would probably not be noticed in the residential area except for a slightlowering of water levels in the backyards of • the two homes just south of the playground. In summary, none of the activities on the industrial site have raised the water table on the adjacent residential area, nor have 4 . • they contributed to a significant lowering of the water table more than 200 feet from the actual construction. Groundwater Fluctuations • Both the wetland and non-wetland soils in this area are subject to dramatic seasonal and longer-term changes in groundwater level. It is not unusual . to find an area of Walpole soils with water at the surface in early April and the depth to the water table six feet down in late August. Both shorter-term and longer-term fluctuations are also common. Standpipes placed on the Parkcentre site by Palm- berg and Russo. show the water table rising one and one-half feet in a week after a period of heavy rainfall and dropping one-tenth of a foot per day thereafter. on a longer term, groundwater levels were very low throughout Connecticut from 1957 to 1964 , were very high in the mid-1970 ' s and dropped dramatically again in late 1980 through . August of 1981. At the time of this report, groundwater conditions are close to normal. The problem with these fluctuations is that they are of the _ same order of magnitude or larger than the changes due to construction and thus would mask the effects of construction. • Future Construction Plans for the Parkcentre site include partial filling of the area previously excavated. As long as there are underdrains placed • under the fill and the fill is mostly free-draining material, there should be no significant adverse effect on water table levels. • Table 1 Testhole Data used for Parkcentre Study Ground Ground water Elevation Hole No. elevation elevation of day Date drilled • to-3 74 70 61 . 5 9/l/67 W-4 72. 5 68 . 5 58 . 5 9/1/67 W-5 72. 5 6.9 58 . 5 . 9/l/67 W-7 77. 5. 72 61. 5 9/5/67 PV-2 (1) 73 69. 5 58* 6/24/76 PV-4 75 71. 5 61 6/23/76 PV-101 74 70. 5 ?** 6/24/76 PV-102 (2) 72 66 59 6/24/76 Holes with numbers starting with W were drilled by Engineering Services, Inc.

Dear Members of the Commission: As some of you are aware, the water problem nusiance for residents east of Park Center has been an ongoing problem since before the spring of 1973 . This is a matter of record in the Planning & Zoning records. For example, we refer you to pages 1861, 1862, 1863 and 1864, 1889 and 1890, e' The problems have not subsided; if anything, they are getting gorse, par- ticularly in the spring and fall and are, to a great extent, a function of the rainfall coupled with its intensity along with the direction from whence the rain comes._ Water in the cellars and property sink holes correlate with the twenty-four rainfall figures for South Windsor. Percolation in parts of the area is not good. Furthermore, the water table appears to be rising even though the sewer lines have been put thru. Connection to the sewer system has prevented septic tank flooding but does not eliminate the inherently high water table in the wetlands area where some of the houses are built. Water in the basements is not eliminated. -Several years after the houses were completed in the Westwood Park Section of Pleasant Valley Estates, the land immediately west of the residences was pushed around and created more problems. Drainage ditches some of which were established over 100 years ago were filled in, berms were built and the natural drainage patterns were molested. When the records and aerial photography of the Park Center and Westwood Park section were studied and examined at the Soil Conservation Survey office in Windsor with the help and assistance of the Hartford County SCS and State Water Resources personnel it became much more evident why some of the problems exist. In fact, it could be said that some of the houses in the area probably never should have been built in the first place. Drainage has to be improved and the water table in the area must be lowered. The SCS has offered the services of Mr. Vernon Anderson, Chief, District Conservationist, to walk the area with '!Buck" Nere Bow Davies and three of the interested residents on Friday, October 3btfi for the purpose of reevaluating the area in the light of what has been done in the past and ghat is contemplated for the immediate and longer range future. An updated study of the area including wetlands in question is certainly warranted . t 2 Therefore, on behalf of the Pleasant Valley Estates Residents Association it is requested that the Planning & Zoning Commission move and approve the request to have this study made beginning with "walking the area" on October 30th as outlined above. Your help and cooperation in undertaking this study:-'is appreciated. We would anticipate that the study and recommendations would be the basis of preventing any further worsening of a water problem in Pleasant Valley Estates as well as to the west downstream along Newberry Brook and the Main Street area.

Eriksson: At the December 8, 1981 meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission, I informed the Commission that I had retained a highly competent engineering firm to perform a ground water study in the Parkcentre area. I offered to make the results of this study available to the Commission when it was com- pleted. I very clearly stated that they were welcome to utilize these results as a partial basis of determining what further information, if any , they would require. In no way did I intimate that they should consider the study as anything other than additional input relating to the matter. I am cer- tain that the Commission understood this quite clearly. I had fully intended to appear before the Inland Wetlands Com- mission at the meeting of December 14, 1981 to make the same information available. However, due to a previous business commitment , I was unable to attend. Therefore , I am taking the liberty of writing to you to inform you of the above facts. At present , I am planning to attend the meeting of January 11, 1982. If I can provide any further information to you prior to that time , please do not hestitate to contact me.

A conservation plan for the existing pond and surrounding open area if the area will remain undeveloped. 2. General Engineering information for deepening and widening of existing ditches or for any new ditches. The control point as to the ditch depth will be the invert (bottoms of culvert) under Route 5 to the west. 3. A site evaluation of the open area if it is going to be developed. The soils of the residential area to the east have been mapped as to drainage, kind of soil and slope.. The development is established with some of the homes and lawn areas being located on wetland soils. Wet problems existed for homes on the wetlands right from the beginning of construction to the present. If the water table is lowered the pro- blem will still exist if the drainage course becomes non-functional. 1 hope this information will be helpful in clarifying our assistance for tfias land parcel.

The groundwater problems have been discussed at Planning and Zoning Commission meetings. 2. The Planning and Zoning Commission asked what could be done about getting information on this matter. 3. I approached a professional engineering firm (Fuss & O'Neill) who have done extensive groundwater studies south of this area for their input. 4. A letter was prepared by them on November 23, 1981 and presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission on December 8, 1981, outlining the scope of a proposed study. The study would be a joint effort between the Town and the consultant and I consider this to be very important. 5. I did not recommend going ahead with the study at this time because of bidding considerations, and felt it needed to be reviewed in more depth by the Town before discussions could be made. (i.e. , priorities, scope, etc.) 6. The study by Savin Bros. Inc. , while it may provide valuable information, will not replace the need for the above Town- sponsored study and cannot be used for Town discussion regarding implementation of possible corrective measures, except as proposed by Savin Bros. Inc. on their property with approval of the rightful agencies. Mrs. Constance Eriksson February 18, 1982 Page Two 7. Because of the high work load, not to mention budgetary limitations, of the Engineering Department in the next few months, a priority assessment on this would have to be made versus other town problems on where this matter should be placed. Please feel free to talk to me about this at your convenience. Very truly yours, TOWN OF SOUTH WINDSOR J. E. Page Town Engineer JEP/ml cc: Richard Shattuck Marshall Montana A.

These plans must be filed within 90 days of the date of approval (by March 8, 1982). Mr. Norman seconded the motion. It was unanimously voted in favor and so ordered. 2. Update of Comprehensive Plan of Development/Director of Planning Mr.UeMallie referred to the Commission's letter dated November 17th to the Town Manager, which outlined goals the Commission wished to accomplish, and said that all of the items mentioned in the letter are included in the draft of a work schedule which he passed out to the Commissioners. He noted that work on the Comprehensive Plan would start at the beginning of the next fiscal year and would continue for two and a half years, with time added to hold public hearings. He noted that some of the projects were contingent upon review by the Commission, and added that if the workload of the Commission _ or Planning Department was excessive, there might be a delay in some of the projects. Since the Commissioners had not had a chance to review the draft of the work plan, they concurred the matter should be tabled for a couple of weeks and brought up again in January. 3. Proposed Hydrogeologic Study, Vicinity of Park Centre Industrial Park Town Engineer Page referred to a letter dated November 23, 1981 from Fuss & O'Neill which indicated they could prepare a study which would include an opinion of Planning and Zoning Commission -5- 12/8/81 _ the impact of development in the area of the Park Centre Industrial Park on the groundwater levels in the residential area immediately to the east, make recommendations as to measures that could be implemented to reduce problems resulting from groundwater elevation and recommend the methodology for monitoring future groundwater fluctuations, and the estimated cost of such a report would be $7,000. Mr. Page said the estimate was based on the fact that as much as possible would be done by Town Staff and said the letter indicates by the designation T for the Town, and C for the consultant, the work that would be done by each. Since the project is in excess of $5,000 it would have to go to bid, and Mr. Page said the Commission should write the Engineering Department a letter stating that they wish to proceed. He added possibly the Public Works Department could share some of the expense. Mr. Page said he wanted to make it clear that he was not recommending that the study be done, but was simply bringing it to the Commission's attention. Mr. Mainelli asked why the Commission is even considering this, and Mr. Page said a request had been received from some residents in the area. Mr. Mainelli asked whether there are really a lot of problems in that area, and Mr. Page replied he didn't know. Mrs. Evans noted that this could be affecting the ~� Connecticut River flood plain. �Mr. Page said the area is full of septic systems plus MDC water which makes the ground water go up. Mr. Mainelli said he can think of several other places in Town which are much worse. He added that he's not saying this area shouldn't be studied, but wanted to know what was behind it. Mrs. Montana said that after the request had been received by the Commissioners, they asked Mr. Page to check into the cost of a study of this area. She added that she didn't think it would be that costly to prepare a study of the area. Mr. Philip Braender was present, and stated that many of the houses in the area have problems with water in their basements. . Mr. Mainelli questioned whether these problems existed before Park Centre -. Mr. Robert Kaye of Savin Bros. was also present and said that his company had recently engaged a firm to do a historical background on the ground water flow in this area and suggested the Commission reserve its decision on whether or not to proceed with the Fuss & O'Neill study until after his consultant's report was ready. He said he would be -happy to share the information with the Commission. After further discussion the Commissioners concurred that this matter should be tabled until the end of January.

They are underlain by water deposited beds of sand or sand and gravel. In most places a few inches to 3 feet of loamy or fine sandy soil mate- rial cover the older coarser water deposits. The poorly drained soils in group A-3a have a high water table that remains 0 to 6 inches below the soil surface during the wettest part of the year. The high water table usually persists into early summer and may reappear after prolonged or heavy summer rains. . . The very poorly drained soils in group A-3b have water ponding on the surface for significant periods in winter and early spring. The high water table generally persists within 3 feet of the surface throughout the year. Urban. These soils have severe or very severe limitations for most urban uses. Intensive and costly drainage and land fill. measures are required to overcome the high water table. Recreation. These soils have severe or very severe limitations for picnicking, camp sites, and play areas. However, they have potential for development of ponds and conservation use for environmental enhancement. Wildlife. The poorly drained soils in group A-3a are poorly suited for the production -of openland wildlife habitat. Habitat required by woodland ,and wetland wildlife species can be established, improved, or maintained but moderate treatment is required. The very-poorly drained soils in group A-3b are poorly suited for the production of openland and woodland wildlfe habitat. Dependable growth of desirable food and cover plants is limited by their wetness. Habitat for wet-land wildlife species is easily created, improved or maitained on v' these soils. Woodland. Productivity for wood crops ranges from fair on the poorly drained soils in group A-3a to poor on the very poorly drained soils of group A-3b. The wetness of these soils poses severe problems in the use of equipment, survival of tree seedlings, and windr_hrow of trees. Plant ` cpmpetition is moderate on the poorly drained soils and severe on the very poorly drained soils. Cropland. These soils are generally unsuited to agricultural crops. With drainage the soils in gr oup ou A-3a can e u g b used P to produce silage potatoes, hay, and vegetables. P f Drainage generally is not economically feasible on the soils in group A- 3b. k . f i, TERRACE SG-IS - OVER SANDS AND GRAVEIS Moderately well drained terrace soils A-2 Soils with moderately high seasonal water table r= = These soils occur above floodplains in river and stream valleys. About 20 to 40 inches-of fraible, loamy soil material overlie beds of sand and - gravel. They have a high water table during wet seasons. In periods of highest saturation, usually in the spring, the water table remains 15 to 20 inches below the soil surface. Permeability is moderate or rapid above the water table. Urban. The seasonal water table limits successful year around operation of on-site sewage disposal systems unless special measures are used, such as drainage and land fill. For homes with basements, the water table causes contraction difficulties during wet seasons. Measures such as footing drains are necessary to prevent seepage into basements. ........... F. Soil conditions are favorable for the establishment and maintenance of layrns, trees, and shrubs. The seasonal water table presents problems in the design, construction, and maintenance of streets and parking lots. This may be overcome by drainage : or other measures. Recreation. During the main season of use, these soils have moderate limitations for use as picnic areas, camp sites, and play areas. Drainage is needed to lower the seasonal water table on playing fields for intensive use and. to ey�tend .the period for picnicking and camping. Wildlife. Habitat for openland and woodland wildlife species is easily established, improved or maintained on these soils, They are well suited for the dependable growth of a wide variety of desirable food and cover plants. It is difficult and expensive to develop habitat for wetland wild- life on these soils. { _ Woodland. Productivity for wood crops ranges from fair to good.

Food and cover can be established, improved, or maintained, but it is difficult and Expensive, especially for openland wildlife.. Results are not always satisfactory. It is impractical to create wetland wildlife habitat on these soils. Woodland. Productivity for wood crops is poor on these soils because natural fertility and moisture holding capacity are low. High mortality of natural or planted seedlings can be expected. White pine should produce a greater yield than hardwoods. Cropland. Droughtiness and low natural fertility severely restrict the use of these.soils for crop production. Irrigation with intensive fertilization is essential for satisfactory yields of crops including tabacco, corn,: vegetables, and hay. If cultivated crops are grown on the steeper slopes, measures for controlling erosion and runoff are necessary. Wind erosion is a hazard particularly on loamy sands. f K: r
