This erosion problem has been identified and inventoried as a high priority area for treatment by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The reason that this erosion problem was classified as a high priority treatment area was that very large amounts of sediment are being eroded away from this channel that extends from the industrial park across your property and ends at the Scantic River. This means that this sediment is being directly deposited into the Scantic River, which is a direct threat to the wetland wildlife associated with the Scantic River. In order to handle the volume and velocity of the storm water coming from the industrial park, sections of Sullivan Ave. and Route 5, this gully will need to be stabilized with a properly sized riprap channel with 2 : 1 side slopes. The estimated cost to repair this section of channel from the industrial park to the Scantic River will be $200, 000. At this time, you may want to contact the town manager, town engineer, town public works director and the towns inland wetland commission on the severity of this erosion and sedimentation problem. If you need any assistance in the future, please contact this office.

Koch Department of Transportation Bureau of Highways P. O. Drawer A Wethersfield, Connecticut Dear Commissioner: Re: State of Connecticut Permit No. 03129 Permittee - Mr. Samuel Cohen, 2780 Berlin Turnpike Berlin, Connecticut In January 1971, the subject permittee approached the Town of South Windsor for approval of the proposed construction of an 00 industrial facility. One aspect of concern to the Town of South Windsor, at that time, was the amount of storm water run-off from that site in relation to the capacity of the existing storm water culvert under John Fitch Boulevard (U.S. Route 5) . This culvert was, in fact, undersized and required replacement to handle the design run-off from the proposed construction. A long discussion ensued regarding whose responsibility it was to replace this culvert. Since this discussion promised to be long and arduous, a. temporary solution of constructing an on-site retention facility was formulated. This facility was designed: by a qualified Professional Engineer, and reviewed and approved by the engineering personnel of the Town of South Windsor. The function of the retention facility was to control the run-off from the site, to insure that no additional flow (or burden) would be .placed upon the culvert during peak storm periods. Since that time, the Town of South Windsor has recognized, and approved, the concept of storm water control through the use of retention and detention facilities; and now encourages their use--particularly in industrial or commercial areas, where large paved areas'produce significant peak flows. Commissioner Koch Page 2 December 6, 1974 For this reason, we have now removed the requirement from the subject permittee that the culvert in John Fitch Boulevard be reconstructed; and we have approved the retention facility as . an acceptable means of storm water control on this site. Further, we have directed the permittee that additional construction on this site will be accommodated through design and construction of expanded retention facilities. The referenced Permit stipulated (at the request of the Town of South Windsor) that this matter be resolved within five years of the issue date, and that the State be kept informed of our progress. By this letter, I am informing your department of this progress and resolution. Very truly yours, TOWN OF SOUT W NDSOR Emi'l W.

DISTRICT ENGINEER 'E. a.ttt t cult ' Town Hall, 1540 Sullivan Avenue, South Windsor, Connecticut 06074 Public Works Department July 5, 1973 Mr. R. W. Mather, District Maintenance Manager Department of Transportation - District #1 Bureau of Highways 24 Wolcott Hill Road Wethersfield, Connecticut Dear Mr. Mather: Some time ago, the Town of South Windsor installed a Sanitary Sewer along the west side of John Fitch Boulevard (Conn. Route #5) at the crossing of this highway with the Podunk River. This sewer installation included the construction of new head and wing walls for the culvert which carries the Podunk River under Route 5. During the past several years, I have had communication with your department with regard to the erosion of the backfill placed behind this new head-wall which, in turn, has on occasion exposed our sewer pipe. Initially, it was the opinion of all concerned that the erosion was due to poorly stabilized backfill, and my department made the necessary repairs. Recently, however, it has become apparent that this is not the cause of the periodic erosion; rather, the erosion is caused by the inability of a catch basin located at a low point on the west curb line of Route 5 to accept storm water that flows entering from both north and south. As a result, the storm water ponds at this point until its level is higher than the curb, and then flows westerly over the bank-- causing the erosion. Mr. R. W. Mather Dept. of Trans. Page 2 July 5, 1973 This condition was most evident in the recent heavy downpour of June 30. In light of this new information, it is obvious that the responsibility for repair of the present erosion, and the construction of new storm drain facilities to prevent further erosion, lies with your department. I will be glad to continue to cooperate in every way; however, I -must stress the importance of insuring that the sewer pipe is protected from further damage. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Very truly yours, r TOWN OF SOUTH NDSOR • ` Emil W. Lucek Director of Public Works EWL:prb cc: Terry V. Sprenkel
