Re: Rainbow Hills Subdivision
Dear Ms. Parker:
This letter will confirm our previous verbal requests that your
organization conduct a review of the plan submitted for the referenced
subdivision to determine whether or not it complies with the new state law
and DEP regulations concerning soil conservation, etc.
As you know, this subdivision will be located in the Town of South Windsor
which has yet to adopt new regulations pursuant to the Act, however, on
behalf of the developers we believe that descretion requires that we
obtain a certification from your organization of compliance with the new
rules, even prior to South Windsor having adopted them to ensure that the
approval we will eventually obtain will be valid.
I will be away until approximately July 10 on a brief vacation with my
children; in my absence please contact Ken Petersen of GARDNER &
PETERSEN, engineers in Tolland with any questions you may-have concerning
this subdivision or the plan. Mr. Petersen can be reached at 871-0808.
As you know, the only meeting of the South Windsor Inland/Wetlands and
Conservation Commission during the month of July will be on July 15 and we
would appreciate being able to pick up the approval and any
recommendations on or about July 11. Once an approval letter is ready,
please call Mr. Petersen and he will arrange to have it picked up and_ in
his absence you may call my office and speak to one of the secretaries and
they will arrange to pick up the approval letters and deliver them not
only to the Town of South Windsor, but also to the developer.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Davies
Regarding the proposed plans for Rainbow Hills subdivision on Ellington Road,
the following recommendations should be considered on any development
decisions.
A detailed grading plan indicating the proposed house, driveway, utilities
and associated grading should be submitted for lot 31 . Assessment of impacts
to wetlands and feasibility as a suitable house lot can be determined more
accurately with this additional information.
Extra precautions will need to be taken in development on those soils which
are highly erosive (see accompanying limitations chart).
Existing woodland should be preserved wherever possible.
If you have any questions, please call .
Sincerely,

SITE REVIEW FOR: RAINBOW HILLS - ELLINGTON RD, SOUTH WINDSOR CT
PREPARED BY: J. ERIC SCHERER, RESOURCE CONSERVATIONIST
U.S.D.A. SOiL CONSERVATION SERVICE
On June 17, 1985, a site review was conducted for the proposed subdivision
"Rainbow Hills" on Ellington Road in South Windsor, CT. In attendance were
Mr. Al Kupchunos and myself.
FINDINGS:
This proposed subdivision includes the development of approximately 37
acres into 33 single family lots. Over one mile of road Is proposed as well as
associated storm drains and pipes. The area will be serviced by sanitary
sewers.
The Soil Survey of Hartford County l.ndicates that ten soil types exist on
this site. These ten soil types include: Cheshire fine sandy loam (CsB2);
Enfield silt loam (EsA); Enfield silt loam-eroded (EsB2); Manchester gravelly
sandy loam (MgC); Melrose very fine sandy loam (MnA); Narragansett silt
foam-eroded (NaB2); Narragansett silt loam-eroded (NaC2); Narragansett stony
silt loam (NgC); Saco silt loam (SbA); Terrace Escarpments-sand and gravel
(Tg). CT Public Act 155 list SbA as an Inland Wetland Soil . It appears that
some past filling has taken place since the Soil Survey was completed in 1962.
A watercourse does exist In this area and under PA 155 is considered an inland
wetland. Approximately 70 percent of the site is classified as either Prime
Farmland or Statewide Important Farmland. The land is presently in a small
grain cover.
The proposed soil erosion and sediment control measures appear adequate on.
the site plans. Additional measures may be needed to ensure adequate
protection on-site and reduce any off-site hazard. These additional measures
are discussed In the Reccomendation/Comments section of this report.
RECOMMENDATIONS/COMMENTS
- A 50 foot buffer strip should be established and maintained on either
side of the existing watercourse on lot 31. Some additional channel
protection may be needed along the streambanks (i.e. rock riprap) if
increased velocities are expected. Some consideration might be given
to piping some of this channel as it exits Ellington Road.
- A sequence of construction activities and erosion and sediment control
measures should be established. The first activity to begin at the
site is the construction and stabilization of the proposed retention
structure in Parcel A. This should be done prior to any other earth
moving activity.

FOR: A. Bowen Davies, South Windsor 6/20/85
RE: Rainbow Hills, Ellington Rd, South Windsor page -2-
- The retention structure could serve a dual purpose and be used as a
sediment basin also. The placement of a filter around the opening of
the outlet for the structure would aid in reducing the chance of
sediments leaving the site. It is evident that there is already a
current sediment problem in the existing channel . Town officials
should be made aware of this to find the cause and seek a solution. A
synthetic fabric filter may also prove to be more effective at the
proposed outlet of the retention structure.
- Additional soil erosion and sediment control measures that should be
considered include: construction entrance pad; hay bales around catch
basins; protecting stockpiled material by perimeter hay bales or
seeding piles; list of temporary seeding mixture and measures;
permanent seeding mixtures and dates of application. The "CT
Guidelines for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control" lists both standards
and specifications for these practices and many more. Reference
should be made to this publication in planning and designing adequate
control measures.

Re: Rainbow Hills Subdivision
Dear Jack:
On behalf of the applicant for Rainbow Hills subdivision, I have requested
that the Soil Conservation Service conduct a review to determine
compliance with the new state laws and DEP regulations and to certify
same. I have an indication from Amy Parker that they will make their best
efforts to comply with my request. I will be away until about July 10;
hopefully, all will go smoothly and we will be ready for a formal
presentation including that approval on July lb. In my absence, Walter
Kupchunos, Jr. or Al Kupchunos will be handling the erection of the sign
prior to the hearing and Ken Petersen will be coordinating with the Soil
Conservation Service.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact those
individuals. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Gerlt
In response to your request for an additional review to address compliance
with CT Public Act 83-388 for the proposed plans for the Rainbow Hills
- Subdivision in South Windsor, the District would offer the following
comments/recommendations.
Plans dated 5/31/85 (revised to 6/28/85) would, for the most part, meet
the requirements of Public Act 83-388. The following additions should be
incorporated into final plans:
Sheet 4
Add hay bales or silt fencing at tow of slope along western side of
Windy Hill Drive. Revised plans indicate a steeper. cut- to this road than
original plans. If a less steep grade can be achieved for the road and
sideslopes, sediment and erosion control can be achieved' easier.
Sheet 5
Continuous hay bales along both sides of Windy Hill Drive should be on
plans.
Sheet 6
More detailed cross section for inlet/outlet structures indicating
depth, size and length of rip-rap should be on notes and detail: sheet.
Plunge pool/energy dissipater for outlet of culvert from detention basin
by stream should be added to plans.
Inlet for the culvert at northwest side of basin needs rip rap or equivalent
sediment control measures on plans.
Sheet 7
Permanent seeding should be implemented on any disturbed areas where
final grading will be delayed more than 60 days.
A sediment control structure should be considered at outlet to retention
basin in addition to setting the base of the basin below outlet grade during
construction.

The remainder of the notes and detail sheet has been well prepared.
The above comments are in reference to only the minimum requirements of
Public Act 83-388. It is understood that South Windsor does not have
individual regulations in place to date, and that the town's regulations,
when adopted, may be more stringent than the requirements of the state
statute.

RE: RAINBOW HILLS SUBDIVISION
Dear Attorney- Gerlt:
After stressing the importance of implementation of sedimentation
and erosion controls in accordance with the approved plans at the
pre-job meeting; after three telephone calls and discussion with
the contractor over the last three weeks; and nothing done, it
would appear that compliance is not high on your list of priorities.
It would also appear that it is time that we review winter time
construction--either be elimination or severely restrict it.
I am surprised that with the visibility of the site that you would
permit this activity to continue. If you have any questions, I can
be contacted at 644-2511, extension 244 .

RE: Rainbow Hills Subdivision
Dear Attorney Gerlt :
After working under adverse conditions all winter to install the
utilities in the streets and a reasonable effort to maintain some
sedimentation and erosion control on the project and now with a
week of almost spring , you have blown your past efforts . The plans
are specific as to the sequence and to temporary and permanent seeding
of disturbed areas . The effect of this disregard to your efforts is
quite evident on Lot 1 . I thought we spent a great deal of effort on
the visability of what you do on the site and how it will effect you
and the promotion of Rainbow Hills or future ventures . I can hardly
wait for the sign to go up to advertise who is responsible for the
mess .
At this point , I could not recommend an extension of your permit
to the commission for failure to comply with your drawings .
If you have any questions , I can be contacted at 644-2571 Ext . 244.
Very truly yours ,

RE: Rainbow Rills Erosion Control
Dbar Attorney Gerlt:
After much discussion and correspondence concerning sedimentation and erosion control
since last winter on the Rainbow Hills subdivision, it appears that your contractors
are more than a little reluctant to comply. You and I are just wearing paper out
with absolute minimal effort towards compliance.
Item 11 of the grading and seeding notes on sheet 7 states - "all graded areas shall
be permanently stabilized inm-ediately following finished grading. If final grading
is to be delayed for more than 30 days after land disturbance activities cease,
temporary soil stabilization measures shall be applied immediately." I would hope that
we are both clever enough to beat this insignificant obstical but the intention was
to leave a minimum of area exposed to the weather at one time. This would include
the foundation excavations also. Each time a foundation is dug, you will E&S the
stock pile. It is safe to assume, I hope, that you will follow the instructions,
on sheet 7 of your plans with respect to seed bed preparation, etc. Sheets 4,5 &6
designate a few hundred feet of hay bales. I consider it inappropriate to be waiting
for the next harvest to install them. This is the rainy erosion season. Your avoid-
ance in installing them per your own plans is duly noted.
It would be my recommendation to the Agency that this permit extension not be auto-
matically extended for lack of canpliance with the E&S requirements.

RE: Rainbow Hill Subdivision Building Permits and Sedimentation
and Erosion Control
Dear Tom:
The approval of the Rainbow Hills Subdivision was granted with a
number of conditions by the appropriate commissions. Over the past
few weeks I have been strongly requesting that the developer attend
h sedimentation and erosion controls as indicated on his plans
to the
as approved. For all the normal reasons, these items cannot be done
or won't be done, but foundations can go in. Item 11 of the approval
requires the plot plans be approved by the Town Engineer, which is the
typical procedure. Item 16 indicates no building permits will be issued
until all conditions of approval have been complied with.
I have been delaying or denying engineering approvals in hopes that
the developer would comply with what he is supposed to be doing.
According to your files, there has been only one building permit
approved. The developer has narrowed down my options. I doubt if
any plot plans will be approved for at least 10 days . At that time
we will have determined the next steps .
Thank you.
Very truly yours,

Re: Rainbow Hills, Application #336
Dear Mr. Moran:.
This morning I learned that your commission voted to deny a request
for extension of the referenced permit at the meeting last night. While
you may agree an extension is not needed since all the work has been com-
pleted with the exception of planting some trees, seeding the road shoulders
and laying the gravel on the driveway to the open space (none of which re-
quires a Wetland permit) , I thought your cornni.ssion wished to continue the
permit until those items were completed.
I learned from Mr. Davies in the early afternoon of July 15th, that
he is concerned that the builder (U & R) is not co plying with the conser-
vation plan. Clearly, that matter is more appropriately addressed directly
with the builder.
As I write this letter, I have learned from your secretary that a
letter was addressed to you by Mr. Davies on July llth with a copy to be
sent to me (as of 1:40 p.m. 7-15-86, it has not arrived) indicating that he
would not recnd the extension. Clearly, any advance notice of that
information would have prated me to attend your meeting. I shall make
every effort to be present on Monday, the 21st.
In any event, I request that your commission act upon a motion to
reconsider any request for the extension and either grant same or release
the Wetlands bond. The conservation plan, as approved by your commission,
is being met. I shall continue to meet the conditions of approvals from
all town agencies, boards and commissions.
Sincere ,
e t er Gerlt

RE: Rainbow Hills Subdivision Detention Basin
Dear Attorney Gerlt:
I have asked three times in the last ten days to have the
sediment and silt removed from the detention basin.
Your plans call for a 16" siltation basin. Your last method
of spreading the slop around like one would icing on a cake
removes the storage capability of the detention basin and
encourages a straight pass through of the dirty water into
Plum Gulley Brook. Fantastic.
Doesn't someone there think about what they are working for?

RE: Rainbow Hills, Lot 28 , Building Permit Plan
Dear Tom:
In keeping with the standard practice of reviewing the building
permit plans for your department, the above plan dated April 10,
1986, submitted August 7, 1986, will not be approved. Based on
the opinion rendered by Acting Town Attorney, Harold Cummings,
on August 8 , 1986 in which he separates the lots from the sub-
division, as between developers and the builders. Each and
every lot in a similar situation shall have an approved erosion
and sediment control plan.
When the plan has been modified, approved by the Inland Wetlands
Agency/Conservation Commission and resubmitted, I will review
it again.

RE : RAINBOW HILLS SUBDIVISION
BUILDING PERMIT PLAN LOT 22
Dear Tom:
In accordance with the Planning and Zoning approval requiring a
review of the plot plans by this department, I have reviewed the
one submitted for Lot 22 on August 13, 1986 for a building permit.
This plan will not be approved for a number of reasons which
include :
1 . Item 13 on the approved plan, 'non-conforming structures
located on Lot #22 shall be removed prior to filing
final plans unless a variance is granted by the ZBA' .
The structures still exist -- I don' t believe two houses
can be on one lot.
2 . An erosion and sediment control plan shall be required
per public act 03-388 and the South Windsor Zoning reg-
ulations .
3. The proposed top of wall elevation of 165 and the top of
berm at the pond at 182 or a difference of 17 feet bothers
me . The backyard grading doesn't do much for a new home.
In the past few months, a potential buyer of this lot was inquiring
about the pond removal. The presentation by the developer did indi-
cate his intention was to maintain the pond as a viable part of the
subdivision. With the installation of the road improvements, it
appears that the pond has lost its water supply and could become just
an unpleasant receptical. I would hope that the builder and the de-
veloper could produce a plot plan with the pond removed and provide
the homeowner with a more usable lot. I could support a proposal
along these lines if the builder so desired.

RE: RAINBOW HILLS SUBDIVISION, LOT 22
On September 3 , 1986 , I had a conversation with Mr. Upenieks,
of U & R Construction, with respect to the pond on this lot.
He expressed a desire to fill it in and make a more usable
lot.
I don't have an objection, and I did indicate to him that I
would, as part of my report, put it before the IWA/CC for an
indication or direction to go . I am fully aware that this is
not my obligation to make the presentation; I think it is just
a courtesy.
If and when an approval is granted, I do want a positive
drain out of the bottom of the pond.
