McCahill, Zoning/Wetlands Enforcement Officer �0 RE: Application #89-14P, Gerber Scientific Products, Inc. , 151 Batson Drive, Manchester, CT 06040 . IWA/CC permit for the expansion of an industrial building located on the westerly side of Nutmeg Road North, easterly side of John Fitch Boulevard and northerly of Governors Highway. DOCUMENTS REVIEWED: Application form, site plan and drainage computations. COMMENTS: 1 . In some areas the building expansion and pavement as proposed, is within the 20, wetlands non-disturbance setback (section 5 . 2) . A large portion of the proposed building and pavement is also within the 40, setback from wetlands and the 80, setback from a watercourse (section 2 .1j ) . The watercourse is Stoughton Brook. There appears to be a significant impact on the area and alternate plans should be considered if at all feasible. 2 . The building expansion is within 20, of the 100 year storm flood elevation. The proposed floor elevations ( 74 . 50) is approximately 8' above the flood elevation ( 66 . 00) . 3 . The regulated activity as stated on the application is somewhat brief. The regulated activity includes building expansion and additional pavement, as well as relocation of the discharge. 4 . A soil scientist, Dean E.G. Gustofson, certified the wetland boundaries . A report of his on-site investigation should be part of the application. 5. A construction limit is indicated on the plans . The means for establishing this limit on the site should be included in the plans . For driveway expansion behind the building the limit extends beyond the property line. This should be avoided if possible, otherwise rights should be submitted for activity on abutting property. 4 6 . Tree and brush removal is shown to provide for service area. Limits of clearing should be established. Also include protection of oaks along easterly property line. 7 . One stockpile is indicated on plans and appears inadequate for the whole site. Additional stockpiles should be shown if necessary. 8. A construction entrance is not indicated. Routine sweeping should be sufficient for activity proposed. 9 . The construction schedule should accurately reflect the work taking place on this site. This should include a schedule for streambank stabilization, to include time of year. The fence as discussed in notes should be part of the schedule. The building construction should also be part of the schedule 10. The bank stabilization as shown in detailed typical section does not seem appropriate for this site. The area to be stabilized is very limited slope length. The detailed typical seems somewhat misleading. 11 . The double line of silt fence and haybales does not appear to provide protection of watercourse during proposed upgrading of existing traprock along the bank. 12 . There may be problems associated with the direct discharge of drainage into the Stoughton Brook. Means for filtering out sand, oil, and grease associated with the pavement should be included. 13 . There are a number of concerns with the plans as submitted. It appears to be an ambitious proposal with the potential for problems regarding impact on the stream. I would suggest these comments be addressed before the Commission makes a decision on this application. � r sJ � GS I=USS&� NEILL C or consulting engineers 13 March 13, 1989 Mr. John E. McCahill, Zoning/Wetlands Enforcement Officer Planning and Zoning Department Town of South Windsor 1540 Sullivan Avenue South Windsor, CT 06074 RE: Gerber Scientific Products, Inc. Parking and Building Expansion 571 Nutmeg Road North South Windsor, Connecticut Inland Wetlands Application #89-14P r Dear John: In review of your comments on Inland Wetlands Application #89-14P to John M. Moran, Jr., Chairman of' the Inland Wetlands Agency, we would like to address them individually. It is our opinion that the building and pavement expansions would not be of 'any significant impact' to the watercourse on the inland wetlands. Our response to your comments are as follows: 1. We do recognize the fact that to provide for the most efficient use of the land for Gerber Scientific Products, Inc. , the new building addition and proposed pavement would encroach within the 20' wetlands non-disturbance setback and would be classified as a "regulated use" since it is also within the designated 40' setback from wetlands and the 80' setback from a watercourse. What we do need is the understanding, that in order to meet fire department criteria, Planning and Zoning loading zone criteria and storm drainage criteria, that we have attempted to provide for all restrictions. Please keep in mind that presently 44% of the area within the 80' setback has previously been paved. The percentage of the area within the 40' setback that has been paved is 23%, the amount of future encroachment into the 20' non-disturbance line is less than 44% of the total area in question. This is only a 140 increase of hard surface over existing conditions. This would include a new storm water discharge point to more efficiently remove storm water from the property.We do not think that our proposed property improvement would be considered a significant impact on wetlands. 146 HARTFORD ROAD / MANCHESTER, CONN. 06040 / TEL.

McCahill March 13, 1989 Pagel 2. It is true that the building is within 20'-0" feet of the 100 year flood limit, but it should also be pointed out that this portion of the building is to be the loading/distribution areas and that it would exceed any flood insurance criteria by being over 8' feet in vertical clearance from the flood elevation of 66.00. It should also be pointed out that less than 65' -0" of the north wall is within 20'-0" of the 100 year flood limit. 3. The regulated activity along the wetlands perimeter of Stoughton Brook (801 ) would include: A. Construction of a building for warehouse purposes - such construction will be done to minimize any impact on the delineated wetlands or stream. B. Truck service area/docks C. Waste disposal container/conc. pad D. New storm water catch basin for service area E. New storm sewer and discharge point (impact basin) for water runoff of building and drive cul-de-sac. This results in an increase of 0.80 cfs of runoff in a 25 year storm which is representative of no measurable change in the peak flow of Stoughton Brook. (7.80 cfs increased to 8.60 cfs) F. Additional 'disturbance' would be the implementation of a silt fence and hay bales at the top of the embankment to prevent erosion. In further conversation with Town officials, we have included in our proposal a temporary chain link fence at the top to be assured that no construction traffic would go below the top of the existing slope, exceptions being: to install impact basin, upgrade traprock as suggested, slow flood velocities by adding shrubbery and to further beautify and increase the viability of the existing slope to be more productive as a wetlands. With suggestions from Town officials, we have shown our intent to add shrubbery and wetlands plant material along the bank to not only stabilize in existing condition, but to improve the wetlands habitat. { FUSS&O'NBL1 Mr. John E. McCahill March 13, 1989 Page 2 t 4. Soil Science and Environmental Services, Inc. from Cheshire, Connecticut has responded to comment No. 4 and their report is attached. 5. The construction limit is usually a function of construction contracts in which the surveyor lays out and flags the boundary on construction. Upon approval of the drawings at Town level and prior to construction 'letters of permission' will be filed. 6. Clearing limits of trees were omitted from the drawings and the intent for such a small area was to field delineation limits at time of construction. If the Town ofrSouth Windsor would feel more comfortable by having this limit on the drawings, we will do so at your request. 7. Since most of the existing conditions are under pavement in the area of construction or the area is fenced to minimize_ disturbance, there is very little top soil to be acquired on-site for stockpiling during construction. The majority of the site will require fill to be hauled in. The cul-de-sac area is adequate for its designated use of stockpiling tipsoil. 8. The access drive which is presently in use by the employees of Gerber is a long asphalt paved entrance. . It was felt by Town officials that construction entrance or anti-tracking apron. was not necessary if a routine sweeping program was established during construction to prevent soil/mud tracking into Nutmeg Road North. 9. To date, an accurate construction schedule and time frame and schedule of streambank stabilization has not been established. We will upgrade these schedules as required by the Town once the contractor is on board and the construction sequence can be worked out. 10. The bank section is only a typical bank, slopes vary with traprock condition from 2:1 to 5:1 slopes. 11. With further investigation on engineering procedures and coordination with the Town staff, we would provide erosion control as required. 12. On Detail 1, Sheet 7, our new catch basins have traphoods on them which in our judgement provides prevention of accidental discharge of oil or grease from the pavement areas into the stream. See attached information sheet from E.P.A. x FUSS&O'NBLL Mr. John E. McCahill March 13, 1989 t: Page 3 13. We believe Gerber Scientific Products, Inc. has demonstrated that although it may be an 'ambitious' project, it is a solid solution to improve not only the efficiency of the Industrial Zone property, but at the same time improve upon the existing wetlands conditions of Stoughton Brook.

" We believe that this is not correct. It appears that over 5 acres of this parcel plus additional areas discharge into Stoughton Brook. This needs to be evaluated further by the design engineer as his entire calculations are based upon this fact. 2©. The releasing of a large part of the storm water from this site directly into the brook needs to be evaluated both from zero increase standpoint and what the impact will be on the abutting Waldo property. 3 . Sheet SC-1 is not an A-2 survey. Dimensions from existing building to property lines are shown + or -. (This could be critical because of the closeness of the proposed building to the building line setback) . 4 . The Fire Marshal should evaluate the 30 foot radius cul-de- sac area of the parking lot. 5 .

The permission should be submitted to the Planning & Zoning Commission before approval _and/or should appear on these drawings . 6 .

Also slope rights or temporary easement must be obtained from the abutter so that this work can be accomplished. i Marcia A. Banach April 11, 1989 Re: Gerber - #89-114P 7 .
