ON-SITE SOILS INVESTIGATION OF PROPERTY FOR PHILLIP IRELAND ON ELLINGTON ROAD
I have conducted an on-site soils investigation of the property located on
Ellington Road in South Windsor, Connecticut. The principal purpose of this soils
investigation was to locate and identify the wetland soils and produce a high -inten-
sity soil survey. The soils were mapped on the 1980- aerial photos through intensive
field investigation and aerial photo interpretation. The general procedure was to
use standard soil survey techniques but in greater detail than in the original
Hartford County Soil Survey. In this soils investigation and soils report, the
classification of the soils, soil textures, descriptive terms, and drainage classi-
fications follow the guidelines and criteria of the National Cooperative Soil Survey.
SUMMARY OF SOILS ON THE PROPERTY-----
The property-consists basically of soils formed from till deposits on a nearly
level to .gently sloping landscape. The upland soils range from moderately well drained
to well drained soils. The wetlands are nearly level low areas in which the' surface
of the soil is near or at the level of the water table. While the basic parent
material of the soils consists of fine sandy loam and sand loam till., there are
numerous inclusions of coaA6 sand and sand. and gravel deposits or soils formed over
sand and gravel. In places there is a mixture of both materials. Therefore, the
named soils on the property .are not within the normal range of characteristics for
numerous areas within the mapping units. They are however properly mapped as far
as drainage classification and basic textural family is concerned. Some of the soils
also have a silt loam surface. 'The soils towards the southern end of the property
were higher in silt loam textures than the soils at the northern end or northwestern
end.
The wetland soils range from poorly drained to very poorly drained. The
variation is due to the elevation above the water table and to some influence of
capillary action of'the soil material. At the northwestern end- the soils vary in
elevation. The shallow muck is nearly level. Water flows very slowly to the north-
west and eventually into a stream which cuts across a corner of the property. The
Walpole soils are wet due primarily to capillary action and are mineral soils with
a firm base. In places, they are underlain by till. The Walpole soils also have
some slope .and an undulating topography with small hills and depressions. The Saco
soils have inclusions of stony soils and there is a very poorly defined intermittent
drainageway or stream flowing to the stream in the northwest corner of the property.
There is also a slight slope in places in this mapping unit. The Scarboro soils
in the same northwest end of the property have a very slight slope in places but
generally form a gradual transition from the shallow muck to the moderately well
drained soils.

SOILS INVESTIGATION OF IRELAND PROPERTY, SOUTH WINDSOR---2 HTM 10/29/82
The other wetland at the southeastern end of the property is nearly level with
some transitional poorly drained Walpole soils. Part of the Scarboro soils and the
Saco soils form a transition between the muck soils and the moderately well drained
upland soils. The major portion of this wetland is nearly level except for the
Walpole soils which are higher and have an undulating topography. Again, the
Walpole soils are poorly drained due to capillary action on the water table below.
The Saco soils also form a transition to the upland soils on and off the property
at the southeastern end. Part of this area has drainage ditches which appears to
have been done for agricultural purposes.
UPLAND SOILS MAPPED-----
LoA Ludlow fine sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes.
The Ludlow series is a member -of the coarse-loamy, mixed, mesic family of Typic
Fragiochrepts. "The Ludlow series consists of deep, moderately well drained soils
on uplands. They formed in glacial till.. Typically these soils have a dark brown
silt loam surface layer 8 inches thick. The subsoil -from 8 to 20 inches is reddish
brown silt loam and from 20 to 26 inches is mottled dark reddish brown silt loam.
The mottled substratum from 26 to 48 inches is dark reddish brown gravelly loam."
On the property this soil has inclusions of loamy sand and sandy loam in the
substratum. The surface also consists of fine sandy loam. In thE'area of the.
power line right-of-way, -the soils appear to have been disturbed in the clearing
operation. The surface is stony in places.
WeA Wapping silt loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes_.. .
The Wapping series consists of 20 to 30 inches of silt loam over fine sandy
loam and sandy loam till. The till may be friable or compact. The soil is moderately
well drained.
On the property this soil consists of 15 to 2S inches of silt loam over fine
sandy loam grading into sandy loam till. There are numerous inclusions of sand and
gravel in places and coarse sand in the underlying substratum. The soil profile is
stony in the soil profile in most areas on the property. This soil is similar to
the Ludlow soils described above, except the surface is silty. In most areas this
soil has a friable substratum. In places near the wetland soils there are inclusions
of silt and fine sand lenses in the subsoil and substratum.
WkA - Wethersfield fine sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes..
The Wethersfield series is a member of.the coarse-loamy, mixed, mesic family of
Typic Fragiochrepts. "The Wethersfield series consists of deep,. well drained soils
on uplands. They formed in glacial till. Typically these are. reddish colored well
drained soils with a slowly to very slowly permeable fragipan at about 2 feet. The
soils have developed in till derived from reddish colored rocks. The surface and
subsoil layers are friable to very friable loam or silt Ioams with varying amounts of
rock fragments. The fragipan restricts internal drainage. A temporary perched water
table may be present above the pan in wet seasons and after heavy. rains in summer.. . ."
On the property these soils differ from the above in several characteristics.
The fragipan or hard compact till is generally at 35 to 40 inches or .may be below
40 inches. The surface is coarse textured consisting of fine sandy loam to sandy
loam and grading to loamy sand in the subsoil to the substratum. The soil profile
is also stony in places. Inclusions of sand are also present. Overall the upper
35 to more than 40 inches are moderately permeable on the property.
SOILS INVESTIGATION OF IRELAND PROPERTY, SOUTH WINDSOR---3 HTM 10/29/82
WkB Wethersfield fine sandy loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes.
These soils are as classifidd and described above, except the slopes are
steeper.
WETLAND SOILS MAPPED-----
PmA Mucks and Peats, shallow, 0 to 1 percent slopes_
- On the property these soils consist of 16 to 40 inches of well decomposed
organic material over sand or sand and gravel. Just under the muck there is a thin
layer of silt loam that is approximately 5 to 10 inches thick. At the northwest
end of the property this mapping unit is- stony in the underlying mineral soil material
in places. At the southeast end of the property the mucks may be deeper than 40
inches at or off the property. These areas were not checked in detail because most
activity will not be in this wetland on the east or southeast end.
SbA Saco silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes.
The Saco series is a member of the coarse silty, mixed, nonacid, mesic family
of Fluvaquentic Humaquepts. "This is a very poorly drained silty soil on floodplai_ns.
It has dark-colored surface horizons over mottled gray subsoils and substratum.
The ground water table is at or near the surface from late fall through early spring.
This soil is frequently flooded."
On the property this soil -generally consists of lenses of silt loam and sandy
loam over sand at 30 to 40 inches. At the northwest end of the property, there are
stony areas and there is a poorly defined intermittent stream flowing through. In
places this soil. also has a thin muck surface less than 15 inches thick. These soils
on both ends of the property are subject. more to ponding due to the level surfaces
rather than to any streams overflowing their banks.
SeA Scarboro silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes.
The Scarboro series' is a member of the sandy, mixed, mesic family of Histic
Humaquepts. "These are very poorly drained, coarse textured,, soils. . . . ' The surface
soils are dark colored and high in organic matter. The subsoils are grayish colored
and sandy. Scarboro soils occupy low-lying, flat or depressed areas. The ground
water table is normally at or near the surface from late fall through late spring,
but -may drop below 3 feet in the summer months. These soils drain readily where
suitable outlets are available and they are .rapid-ly permeable when the water table
is lowered."
On the property these soils have a thin layer. of silt loam at the surface or
just below a thin muck surface. The upper portion of the soil profile including any
muck and silts is less than 20 inches thick over a coarse sand. Lenses of coarse
silt or fine- sand may be present in the substratum in places.
WcA Walpole loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes.
The Walpole series is a member of the sandy, mixed, mesic family of Aeric
Haplaquepts. "This is somewhat poorly to poorly drained soil -over sand and gravel.
It has relatively thin dark colored surface horizons over mottled subsoil. Surface
and subsoil textures range from fine sandy loam to sandy loam. Depth' to sand' and
gravel ranges from 18 to 30 inches. A seasonal water table is near the surface from
0
SOILS INVESTIGATION OF IRELAND PROPERTY, SOUTH WINDSOR---4 HTM 10/29/82
late fall through early spring. During dry parts of the year the water table may
drop to 6 -feet or deeper. . . ."
On the property this soil has a finer surface texture. It also has inclusions
of stony sandy loam till in areas. In places the surface is also stony. It is'
higher in elevation than the other wetland soils and is wet due to the capillary
action of the soil pulling up the water table below. It does not contribute
significantly to the flood storage capacity of the wetlands. Within the mapping
units are small inclusions of moderately well drained soils. These soils also have
anirregular topograVhy in places with small hills of moderately well drained soils
and depressions of poorly drained soils.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

SUPPLEMENTARY SOILSIREPORT ON PROPERTY FOR PHILLIP IRELAND ON ELLINGTON ROAD
The first soils report is entitled ON-SITE SOILS INVESTIGATION OF PROPERTY
FOR PHILLIP IRELAND ON ELLINGTON ROAD, October 29, 1982. The first soils report
describes in detail all soils mapped on the property and the general characteristics
of the wetland soils on the property. The principal purpose of this soils report
is to assess the impact of the property development to the wetlands on the property
and downstream adjacent to the property. . The concerns are the water tables and
surface water movements.
The entire property is nearly level to gently sloping. The wetlands occupy the
level depressions which essentially exposes the water table. The Wnderlying material
consists of till and outwash deposits. Some of the material is slowly permeable. and, t
other material is permeable throughout. Due to the nearly level slopes and the topo-
graphy, the water from direct precipitation and runoff from adjoining properties is
trapped and moves very slowly. The water moves downward to the water table either
directly through the soil or as runoff from the soils at slightly higher elevations.
Any excess surface water than moves very slowly through the wetlands downstream.
At the northwest corner of the property. the water reaches a well defined stream
channel which flows to another wetland north of the property. Part of this wetland
is on:the east end of the property which is known 'as Parcel IIA":and consists of a
shallow muck soil. The movement of ground water was not within the scope of this
investigation. It is assumed that there is some ground water movement but it does
not change the soil interpretations of basic wetland functions. The surface water
basically flows from the south to the north -through the wetlands on the property.
Due to. the nearly level surfaces, the restricted outlets, and the dense vegetation,'
the wetlands function as water detention basins. They slow the runoff from the up-
lands and pond the water during heavy rainfall. However, only the very poorly drained
soils are subject to normal ponding or flooding. The poorly drained soils are at. a
slightly higher elevation and are saturated due primarily to capillary action. The
Walpole soils are poorly drained.
In the proposed development the property will be developed in two stages. Parcel
IIBII will be completed first. It is proposed to put a road through both parcels. The
road goes southeast through as much upland as possible and then turns east into a
wetland. The reason for this turn is to avoid a future intersection with the five
corners. Homesites will be built along both sides of the road. In planning the
property, the wetlands. were avoided as much as possible for the houses themselves and
-" immediate yard area. The size of the lots were determined on the basis of'minimum
impact to the wetlands for necessary filling.

SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT OF PROPERTY ON •ELLINGTON ROAD----2 HTM 12/6/82
Because sanitary sewers and water is available, there is no need for septic
systems which are greatly dependant on the nature of the soils. Thus, -there is also
no need to fill in large areas or use large areas for septic systems and reserve areas.
Only the house itself and some yard area is all that is required for the homesite.
With the construction of homes, driveways, and roads, there will be increase of
runoff due to impervious surfaces. Lawns also have a higher runoff rate than forest
land. The nearly level to gently sloping surfaces reduces the erosion hazard consi-
derably. The distance to the wetlands is also relatively short. Thus, the water
cannot accumulate high volumns along with high velocity before being dissipated by
the wetlands. The impervious surfaces however will be less than 20 percent and .cannot
affect the water table of either the wetlands or the uplands to any significant extent.
The water table is maintained by a much larger watershed than the property itself.-,
Water can still percolate down through more than 80 percent of the soils.
During a storm the runoff will cause slightly higher water levels in the"wetlands
due to the impervious surfaces. However, the amount of increase is insignificant to
the normal fluctuations of the water table in the wetlands. Any increase will also
be for very brief periods and thus, will not affect the vegetation nor basic soil
moisture regime of the wetlands. Excess water will still be free to flow off the
property as it presently does. Drainage has been provided to maintain the free flow
of water off the property. The only change is a detention basin- to meter. the water
into the stream that flows off the property. In the .existing corfd tion there is 'a
poorly defined stream channel in the area of the proposed drain and detention basin.
However the basic direction of surface water flow is maintained and the water levels
will not be changed.
Some wetland soils will. have to be filled for. either,a road crossing, homesite,
or yard area. Most filling will take place on the Walpole soils which- are poorly
drained and slightly;higher in elevation. 'These soils do not._contribute to the water
storage capacity of the wetlands for most ,storms. . Any. displacement of water storage
Capacity for a severe storm would be =spread over a large remaining wetland area. Any
increase of water level due to the filling would not even be_measureable'. The water.
storage capacity of the wetlands has not been significantly changed. The detention
pond has also minimized the loss. The detention pond reduces the peak flow into
the stream off the property and also helps to prevent erosion which presently occurs
in the. Saco soils- near the detention basin.
Overall the subdivision has left most of the large areas of very poorly drained
soils intact. The direction of water movement has not changed. Due to the soils,
topography, and slopes of the land, :the amount of increased runoff s minimal and
will not change the moisture regime of the wetlands nor affect the vegetation. If
there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully submitted,
Henry Moeller

RE: Ireland Property, Ellington Road
INVENTORY
1. A development is proposed on a 39.4 acre wooded parcel of .land.
2. A detailed on-site soils investigation has been conducted on this
property by Henry T. Moeller, soil scientist.
3. The property is divided into parcel A and parcel B, separated by a 300 ft
wide C L & P right of way.
EVALUATION
1. The site plan as submitted for this area shows a proposed retention basin
for storm water runoff from parcel "B". However, there is. not a retention
basin planned for the runoff from parcel "A". Plans show the runoff
being discharged directly into the adjacent wetland soils. Sediment from
. construction activities, road sand and salt will be discharged into these
wetland areas. The construction of a retention basin on parcel "A" is
needed to collect these materials during construction and to store runoff
waters during and after construction.
2. There is to be fill placed in the wetland soils for road construction and
lot development. The site plan states that the total amount is 7,210 cubic
yards and shows fill being placed precisely where- the houses are planned.
However, there exists a question here, as to whether it is realistic to
construct a house and walk 10 - 20 feet out the back door into a wetland.
Therefore, any backyard is almost non-existent. Homeowners may want to
"develop" their backyards by placing fill_ there in the future. Also, there
will be activity in the wetlands just to fill and excavate for the houses.
The site plan does -not appear to realistically show the activity and
fill placement in the wetlands. Therefore, the potential to damage and/or
fill in a much larger area of wetland exists. This combined with the
absence of a retention basin on parcel "A" could have a detrimental effect
on this wetland, .
3. There is an absence of an erosion and sediment control plan for this site.
Proper temporary and permanent erosion and sediment controls should be
shown on the site plan. The Connecticut Erosion and Sediment Control
Handbook should be used to develop this plan.

EVALUATION (CONVD)
4. Detailed information is .needed. on the retention nsin fort-parcel nB"
and any future basins', ''Emergency spillway location, principal spillway
size, storm frequency and discharge and sediment, tbra.ge are some of
this needed information:
5. Top soil stockpiling, hay bale.,placement should be used and shown on
the site.plan. This also would assist in sediment control, phased :
construction of this project beginning with parcel ''S" wouid provide greater
control and less overall disturbance to the area.
In summary, the major considerations for this project- are lack of retention
basin for parcel I!A", filling in of.wetlands and absence of any erosion 'and
sediment control plan.

Dear Mrs. Eriksson:
The enclosed review of the Ireland Property. on Ellington Road is based
on the submitted preliminary plan and an on-site investigation.
It is the opinion.of the Hartford Soil and Water Conservation District
that construction in specified areas of parcels A & B would be a
detriment to the existing wetland. The Hartford County Conservation
District therefore, recommends a decrease in the proposed number of
dwellings to be built on these parcels.
The present plan does not adequately provide for a soil. erosion and
sedimentation plan to, reduce damage to the environment. Construction
as proposed would:
be a potential hazard to. the existing ecology of the wetland
increase soil erosion and sedimentation into the wetland
increase storm water runoff
The District suggests that lots 1, 4, 8 & 9 be eliminated in parcel B
as 50 percent or more of these lots are located in wetlands.
Recommendations for Parcel.. A include combining the following lots into
one dwelling instead of two for: lots 11 & 12; 13 & 14; 15 & 16;
19 & 20; 26 & 27; 28 & 29:
It is also suggested that a retention basin be constructed on parcel A.
These corrective procedures would allow for a decrease:
in the encroachment into the wetland
amount of fill needed
erosion and sedimentation into wetland
damage to wildlife habitat
- property owners potential crater problems
If there are any questions, please feel free to contact our office.

RE: Ireland Property - Ellington Road
At the request of Mr. Phillip Ireland, a meeting was held on January 6, 1983,
to discuss our report of 12/28/82. Several modifications to the site plan
were discussed and they have been incorporated into a revised plan dated
January 12, 1982. Some modifications were to decrease activity in the wetland
soils on the site. Specifically they addressed paragraph #2 under evaluation
of the December 28th report. The road has been relocated and several lot
sizes and home locations have been -adjusted. Also, several lots have been
eliminated. However, there is still planned construction on lots 6, 7 and 8
all of which are in wetland soils.
The stormwater from half of parcel "A" is now planned to be routed into the
retention area on parcel "B". However, the runoff from the other half of
parcel "A." is still being discharged into the wetland soil on lot 14.
Those comments in our December 28th report regarding erosion and sediment controls
should still be addressed. This would include paragraphs 1, 3, 4 and 5.
Paragraph 2 concerns have been answered and the planned modifications appear
to realistically provide for a yard area around the homes. In summary, there
still is some fill activity in wetlands and absence of an erosion and sediment
control plan.
If further assistance is needed, please call.

Dear Mrs. Eriksson:
Enclosed is a review of the revised preliminary plan of the Ireland
property on Ellington Road. The changes are a result of a meeting with
~ _ Mr.. Phillip Ireland at his request on January 6, 1983.
The.Hartford County.Soil and Water Conservation District is in agreement
with the changes in the location of the road and the elimination and
reconstruction of several of the lots and relocation of some dwellings.
The District still feels that lots 6, 7 and 8 should not be developed due
to their location in wetlands.
There needs to be developed a soil erosion and sedimentation plan, which
should be shown on the preliminary plan. -
Specifications for the retention basin should be included to show that the
basin is capable of handling the stormwater runoff from parcel "A". Also
the runoff into the wetland from the eastern section of parcel "A" has not
been resolved.
If there are any questions, please call.
