One State Street P.C.Box 231277 Hartford,CT 061 23-1 277 Re:Review of The Shops at Evergreen Walk Inland Wetlands Application Dear Attorney King: As requested,ENSR has prepared this letter in regards to ENSR‘s initial review of the project plans and associated documents filed with the Inland Wetlands,Watercourses and Conservation (IWWC)and Planning and Zoning applications for the above- referenced project.As you know,revised plans have been presented along with verbal descriptions provided by the applicant at the IWWC hearing on July 2,2003;ENSR has not had an ability to review these plans or consider additional information in written form,and our comments herein may warrant revisions based upon such revised information. Based upon ENSFI’s review of The Shops at Evergreen Walk application and review of information we have received to date,we offer the following comments and questions. 1.We maintain that The Shops at Evergreen Walk project (referred to in this document as The Shops)along with the other aspects of the overall Evergreen Walk development should be reviewed as a single and complete project in terms of overall site layout,alternatives analysis,cumulative wetland,watercourse and upland review area impacts,and mitigation.This issue of presenting the project(s)as a single and complete project is also raised by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection in their June 13,2003 letter addressed to Michelle Carlson of Fuss & O’Neill,Inc. a.As an example,the project plans indicate that the maximum lot coverage for the project (presumably The Shops at Evergreen Walk project)includes EXPO,ECHN and Entire Evergreen Walk Property.This once again appears to be contradictory to the project proponent’s claim that the multiple,phased projects being proposed for the 200+acre Evergreen Walk development be considered as individual projects not associated with the overall development scheme for the project. 2.The site plans depict the location of the proposed Gateway Sewer Trunk line crossing of Wetlands/Watercourse #9 and #9A.The site plans also shows one additional crossing of Wetland/Watercourse #9 presumably for the purpose of traffic circulation through The Shops development.We recommend that,at a minimum,the Town of South Windsor and the project proponent evaluate re-routing the sewer to ENs‘R ENSR lnternational Shops ar Evergreen Walk Review,South Windsar,CT the east,in line with the proposed roadway of The Shops deveiopment.This alternative would reduce the proposed impacts to Wetiand #9,as weii as co-Iocate the sewer and roadway crossing at the narrowest section of Wetland #9,thereby further reducing wetland impacts.Evaluating this alternative design may also eliminate the need to construct an elevated berm across Wetland #9 (as shown on sheet G.I.O.3.Eliminating the proposed earthen berm across WetlandNVatercourse #9 would further reduce inland wetland impacts and not alter the hydrology of Wetlands #9 and #9A. Plans submitted for the overall Evergreen Walk development indicate that the sewer trunk line may be extended to the north crossing at the juncture of Wetlands #5 and #4 —what is the status of the sewer design and why aren’t these wetland impacts incorporated into The Shops application?The master plans for the Evergreen Walk development also depict a “ring road”for the development,which is shown to be co- located with the sewer crossing of Wetlands #9 and #9A.What is the status of the“ring road”?If it still proposed,we submit that the additional inland wetland impacts, as a result of the construction of this roadway,be addressed in The Shops application. To reiterate,the issue of presenting the Gateway Trunk Sewer project and The Shops at Evergreen Walk project in piecemeal fashion,and not as a single and complete project is also identified by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection in their June 13,2003 letter addressed to Michelle Carlson of Fuss & O’Neill,Inc 3.No documentation was submitted with the application to provide justification as to why a roadway crossing of Wetland #9 is warranted,nor is there justification for the filling the eastern-most edge of Wetland #9.it appears,at a minimum,that site and building layout of Building 200 could avoid and/or minimize wetland impacts to Wetland #9. Further,the temporary impacts to inland wetlands that will likely occur during installation of the footing for the proposed retaining wall in Wetland 3,as well as other proposed locations of retaining walls in and adjacent to wetlands,should be quantified into the cumulative impact numbers. 4.The site plans show three crossings of the watercourse that transects the site.We believe the proponent and the Town should further evaluate internal site circulation alternatives,to eliminate one or more of these crossings. 5.Sheet C.G.1 .4 depicts a proposed drainage/grass swale,which is to direct storm water flows into detention basin #4.In reviewing the existing and proposed contours, it appears that a majority of the watershed contributing to Wetland #8 (and in particular the finger-like projection of Wetland #8)will be intercepted and redirected to detention basin #4.Loss of contributing watershed could change the hydrology of portions of Wetland #8 resulting in secondary impacts to Wetland #8,and we believe that this issue warrants further investigation and evaluation by the project proponent. This drainage/grass swale is designed to cross over the proposed Gateway Trunk Sewer in close proximity to where the sewer is proposed as an elevated berm crossing of Wetland #9 and Wetland #9A.A detailed section of this intersection of ENy‘R ENSR International Shopx at Evergreen Walk Review,South Windsor,CT the sewer trunk line and storm water feature should be provided to demonstrate that the proposed drainage swale will work effectively over the long-term. The Shops application indicates that there are 2 proposed crossings of WetlandNVatercourse #5.In actuality there are three proposed crossings of Wetland #5.The western-most crossing involves a crossing at what presumably is the location of an old cart path,however,this proposed crossing still results in impacts toinlandwetlands. Other than a very brief discussion on the design scenarios evaluated for the overallEvergreenWalkdevelopment,there is no detailed discussion on alternatives or justification for the three (3)proposed crossings of Wetland #5.It appears that alternate designs and site layouts,such as reducing at least one of the proposedcrossingsorprovidingcul-de-sacs instead of wetland crossings,could still serve the functions of traffic circulation and safety equipment access while reducing the overallimpactstoWetland/Watercourse #5.Based upon the information provided by the applicant’s consultants,and considering its hydrologic and corridor functions,ENSRbelievesthatWetland5shouldbeconsideredasmoderateinvalue.The proposeddevelopmentwillessentiallyeliminateover700linearfeetofthiswatercourse corridor in terms of contiguous habitat. A previous plan entitled Portion of Gateway Zone Development,Wetlands QualityAssessmentPlan,dated January 17,2003,depicts Wetland #11 within the boundaries of The Shops development.Wetland #11 is not depicted on the current plans for The Shops at Evergreen Walk nor is it discussed in the application.What is the status of Wetland #1 1,as it appears to be entirely eliminated under the proposeddevelopmentconditions? Impacts (i.e.,fill)to Wetland #12 are proposed,however,there is no discussion providing the reasoning or justification for filling of portions of Wetland #12.It appears that an alternate grading scheme could avoid impacts to Wetland #12. 10.The plans and application call for proposed improvements to three (3)existing “end walls”located at the eastern end of Wetland #5.This proposed work will result in impacts to Wetland #5,however,there is no information provided in regards to proposed impacts to the watercourse within Wetland #5.One would presume that improvements to an existing end-wall/headwall/culvert would at a minimum result intemporaryimpactstoWatercourse#5. 11.The calculations performed to determine the square footage impacts to Wetlands #5and#9 as a result of the roadway crossings should be clarified and the proposedwetlandandwatercourseimpactsshouldbeitemized. a.The project plans do not depict the locations (e.g.,stream banks)of the watercourses within Wetlands it 5 and #9. b.The application indicates that there will be 0 impacts to watercourses.We question whether this statement is accurate as it relates to potential temporary impacts incurred during construction of the proposed roadway/bridge crossings. c.The project detail sheet show a Concept Elevation-Bottomless Arch Bridge Wet/and Crossing detail and Half Section detail.Based on our review,it appears that this conceptual detail infers that there will be additional wetland impacts as well as impacts to watercourses (impacts to Wetlands/Watercourses #5,#9 and Em‘Rg ENSR lnternational Slwps at Evergreen Walk Review,South Windsor,CT #9A).Installation of the footings for the bridges,arches,retaining walls,and stabilization of the stream banks wiH more than likely result in at least temporary inland wetland and watercourse impacts.These impacts should be calculated and presented on the plans and in the application,including a discussion of construction methods and mitigation. d.In our opinion,all cumulative wetland and watercourse impacts have not been accounted for in The Shops application.In particular,the installation of the proposed bridges will result in permanent wetland impacts as well as temporary impacts during construction and secondary impacts,such as shading impacts to the underlying wetlands and watercourse.Crossing of Wetland #5 at three different locations,in addition to significant grading within the 80-foot upland review area will serve to segment Wetland #5 and reduce the functions of Wetland #5 —these secondary impacts to the wetland should be assessed. These temporary and secondary wetland and watercourse impacts should be quantified into the cumulative impact numbers. e.The Shops application indicates that the total inland wetland impacts is 4,910 square feet.As stated in one of our earlier comments,it appears that this calculation does not include the third wetland/roadway crossing of Wetland #5, nor does the project proponent’s calculation include temporary or secondary impacts to either inland wetlands or watercourses.The cumulative inland wetland and watercourse impacts for the project should be clearly and thoroughly documented. We submit that additional documentation be submitted by the applicant to support their inference (see In/and Wetlands Hepon‘prepared by Penelope C. Sharp,June,2003)that the watercourse found within Wetland #5 is intermittent. We believe that there may be sufficient headwaters to support this watercourse as a perennial system,and as such,detrimental effects (permanent,temporary and secondary impacts)to this watercourse should be outlined in the application. f.The Corps of Engineers Programmatic General Permit (Category l)covers projects that meet the general conditions of the PGP,as well as result in less than 5,000 square feet of inland waterway and/or wetland fill,and including secondary impacts.lt appears that The Shops project has approached and will ultimately exceed the PGP Category i criteria. 12.The Shops application indicates that the project will result in 452,127 square feet or 1 0.38 acres of impact to the 80-foot upland review area.A review of the project plans indicates that a vast majority of the 80-foot upland review area will be permanently altered much of which resulting from filling and grading.The gradinglinesoftheproposedcontourscloselyapproachtheboundariesoftheinland wetlands in many instances on the project site.It appears that little undisturbed buffer will be provided within this 80-foot upland review area to buffer the existing inland wetlands and watercourses from the project development and projectoperation(i.e.,day~to-day use of the development)—this would include such factors as snow removal and stockpiling,trash disposal,etc. 13.The project plans indicate that The Shops project exceeds the required number of parking spaces by 404 additional spaces.Is there a legitimate need for these extra parking spaces,which only add to the overall total of impervious cover on the site? E$‘R®ENSR lnternational Slwpx at Evergreen Walk Review,Sour/1 Windxor,CT Were any efforts made to negotiate with the Town to reduce the number of parking spaces required for this development,such as using shared parking with the other phases of the overall Evergreen Walk development? ,There is no soil scientist report or other documentation provided to document and support the wetland/hydrio soil delineation on the site. .ln correspondence prepared by Ms.Penelope Sharp,she indicates that there are no rare threatened or endangered species on the site.Her report further indicates that the principal wetland function of the inland wetlands on the site is wildlife habitat — wildlife usage primarily avian.Therefore,it seems reasonable that the project proponent address the CT DEP Natural Diversity Database‘s recommendation to conduct a grassland bird survey during the breeding season to assess the present use of this area by state—listed species.There is no documentation provided in the application in regards to responding to this request for a grassland bird survey,nor is there documentation as to any other rare species surveys (i.e.,state-listed reptiles or amphibians)conducted for The Sheps project or the overall Evergreen Walk development. 16.A general suggestion regarding the storm water management system would to have the project proponent evaluate providing a greater setback between the discharge outlets and the boundaries of the inland wetlands.Providing a greater setback to the storm water discharges would help to reduce potential scour,sedimentation,water quality,and invasive plant species colonization impacts to the receiving waters. 17.Multiple Rain Garden Systems are designed within the proposed development.We submit that subsurface data should be supplied to support the design conclusions. As currently shown on the plans,Rain Gardens will have an “optional”subsurface drain system presumably tied to the piped stormwater drainage system;no criteria are presented as to when these subdrains are installed,and the implications of recharge loss on the site when they are installed are not evaluated.Additionally, data on information rates and design calculations demonstrating how the Rain Gardens will detain the first O 5 inch of rainfall should be submitted Further documentation to support the-effectiveness of the Rain Garden System within an intense retail development site should be provided.

C.Letter from Jeffery Folger,Environmental Planner for Town of South Windsor dated May 14,2003. Based on ENSR’s review of The Shops at Evergreen Walk application and review of informationwehavereceivedtodate,we offer the following comments and questions. From statements made by the proponent's consultants at the July 2 2003 IWWC meetingENSRunderstandsthattheplansandsupportingdataareundergoingadditionalrevision,Given such revisions and considering the complexity of this project ENSR requests additionaitimetofurtherevaluatethesubmittalsmadebytheprojectproponent. A.General Analysis 1.ENSR recommends that The Shops at Evergreen Walk project (referred to in this documentas"The Shops")should be reviewed together with the other components of the overallEvergreenWalkdevelopmentasasingleandcompleteprojectWeareconcernedthat anincrementalapproachtostormwatermanagementdesignforthelargerparcelmayforeclosetheopportunitytodesignthemosteffectivesystemformanagingpeakrates,water quality ENp‘Ra ENSR lnternational The Shops at Evergreen Walk Drainage Review,South Windsor,CT control,and wetland resources hydrology,in the various receiving waters affected by the proposed development. ENSR has not received plans,calculations,narrative,or other documentation to show that the proposed design is consistent with a drainage master plan for the project.Representatives of Fuss &O'Neill have indicated in their testimony that they developed an overall plan and supporting drainage calculations,and that these items were discussed with municipal officials. However,we understand from our communications with your office that there are no such plansorcalculationsinthepublicrecord,which serves as the basis for our review.Without such documentation,we cannot review the basic assumptions,methodologies,and computations upon which the engineer would base an overall assessment of storm water impacts relative to the “full build-out"scenario of which this project is a part. 2.Sheet CG.1 .4 depicts a proposed drainage/grass swale,which is to direct storm water flows into detention basin #3.ln reviewing the existing and proposed contours,it appears that a majority of the watershed contributing to Wetland #8 (and in particular the finger-like projection of Wetland #8)will be intercepted and redirected to detention basin #3.Loss of contributing watershed could change the hydrology of portions of Wetland #8,and we believe that this issue warrants further investigation and evaluation by the project proponent. 3.The proposed storm water management design is likely to adversely affect the continued hydration of the on-site wetlands in other areas,as well.From our review of the storm water conveyance system design,it appears that the area which drains to each of the three wetland systems on-site will be significantly altered under proposed conditions,with runoff re—routed to detention basins and discharged at points downstream of the wetland systems. While the design includes measures such as recharge of roof runoff from selected buildings, as well as the use of rain gardens,no quantitative data has been presented to document the extent that these measures mitigate the effects of the watershed diversions proposed. 4.The development of the site as proposed involves substantial cuts and fills.Depths of cut ranging from 10 feet to greater than 20 feet are proposed near Buckland Road.This depth of excavation could penetrate below and result in a permanent lowering of the existing groundwater table.The applicant's consultants stated in the July 2,2003 IWWC hearing that on-site wetland systems were groundwater discharge areas.Interception of groundwater or lowering of the water table by the proposed construction could significantly reduce groundwater supply to these wetlands. ln the material provided for our review,we found no data on subsurface conditions to characterize the existing groundwater conditions and the impacts of site grading and utility trenches on groundwater flow to the wetlands. 5.The applicant's engineering team has presented an analysis of storm water runoff volumes under various design events discharged under pre-and post—development conditions,and offered this as a "water budget"for selected on-site wetlands.We believe that this analysis does not constitute a water budget that correctly accounts for the hydrology of the wetlands. A water budget should account for all pathways by which water enters and leaves the wetlands,including groundwater flows as well as external surface runoff components.The EK‘RQ ENSR International The Shops a!Evergreen Walk Druinage Review,South Windsor,CT water budget should atso account for seasonal (or at least average annual)conditions. Storm flows are not the only concern relative to wetland impacts;the alterations to the supply of surface and groundwater on an ongoing basis must be accounted,to assess impacts on the wetland resources. B.Manaqement of Peak Rates 1.Appendix B of the drainage report includes the Existing Conditions analysis.The analysis does not include a watershed map with watershed boundaries and time of concentration paths for the site.This information is required for a complete review of the existing conditions analysis. 2.The curve number (CN)calculation for the Evergreen Walk watershed includes a description of Woods for the soil/surface description.The CN associated with the Woods-B description appears to be for Woods-grass combination —good condition according to the TR-55 Table 2—2b Runoff Curve Number table.The table describes this combination as an orchard-tree farm with 50%woods and 50%grass.ls this an appropriate description of the groundcover? 3.The drainage report includes a table that compares pre-vs.post-conditions peak rates. Since the existing condition analysis does not include a drainage boundary plan for the site, we are unable to determine what design point has been used to create the peak rate comparison table.The proposed condition drainage plan includes multiple intermediate discharge points,and does not clearly show the ultimate discharge point used for analysis. The site analysis and the peak rate comparison table need to be based on clearly defined discharge points.The same points used for existing condition should be used for proposedconditionanalysis.Sufficient points of analysis should be selected to clearly document the impacts on each major wetland resource and watercourse affected by the project. 4.The narrative indicates that the Evergreen Walk includes 240 acres.The existing condition CN calculations only include 204 acres.The proposed condition calculations only include 202.4 acres.The applicant should correct the calculations and the narrative so they are consistent,and verify that the entire parcel is properly accounted in the drainage calculations.Total area for pre-and post-development conditions must be the same. 5.The proposed condition analysis appears to review the impacts of construction of The Shops at Evergreen Walk and the Expo Center on the Podunk River watershed.The analysis does not appear to account for the recently submitted ECHN project.See our comment above regarding our concerns that a wholistic approach is not being taken toward the design of storm water management measures that will effectively serve this site at ultimate build-out.

'"“Drainage Report,The Shops at Evergreen Walk,Buckland Road”,dated May 1,2003,prepared by Fuss &O'Neill,Inc, by E&‘R&ENSR lnternational The Shop:at Evergreen Walk Drainage Review,South Windsor,CT The proposed condition node diagram includes a drainage catchment for roofs.The CN and area calculations for this drainage catchment should be included in the report.How will the roof runoff be treated? The drainage boundary for both the "existing condition"and the "proposed condition"should extend beyond the limits of all proposed grading;some of the proposed grading and the large detention basins are outside of the drainage boundaries. The time of concentration (Tc)paths should be indicated on the proposed conditions drainage area plan.Since these have not been included we have not been able to completely review the Tc calculations provided. The applicant uses Sheet Flow lengths of 200 feet for time of concentration calculations. The NRCS (formerly SCS)methodology as outlined in TR—55 indicated a maximum sheet flow length of 300 feet,but this criterion is being changed.Beta testing has been completed on an updated version of TR-55 (WlnTR—55).User documentation for the development of the updated procedure has been available for some time (at least since April 2002)and notes that sheet flow ls limited to a maximum of 100 feet.An informational reference titled"Frequently Asked Questions"further documents the NRCS position that sheet flow should be no more than 100 feet,and is also posted at the WinTR-55 web site at: www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/hydro/hydro—tools-models—wintr55 .html We recommend a maximum of 50 feet.except under certain unique conditions where a well- graded surface can maintain sheet flow.This recommendation is based on published guidance used in the neighboring state of Massachusetts.The guidance was developed based on MA DEP consultation with NRCS personnel,and has been applied in practicesince1987. 10.Some of the "shallow concentrated flow"paths also seem excessively long.Typically,with the lengths indicated in the calculations.one would expect that this flow would become channelized within pronounced gullies,intermittent streams,or other drainage channels. Has the engineer field verified the assumption of shallow concentrated flow? 11.The proposed conditions PondPack analysis includes drainage area EW8.This area is not shown on the drainage area plan.Detention Basins 3 and 4 are included in the analysis but not called out on the drainage area plan.The proposed condition node diagram includes a structure labeled as Detention Basin 8.This detention basin should be included in the PondPack analysis and shown in the drainage area plan. 12.The narrative includes a discussion of the Podunk River analysis and how the Plum Gulley Brook and Podunk River drainage area analyses were calibrated to the FEMA flows.The material provided for ENSR's review contains insufficient documentation for us to completely review assumptions,methodologies,and computations used for this analysis.We request EK‘R ENSR lnternational The Shops at Evergreen Walk Draimzge Review,South Windsor,CT that this information be made available in the public record,including the modeling input computations (e.g.,times of concentration and travel times)as well as modeling output. .The storm water conveyance system has been sized for the 10-year design storm to comply with Town regulations.The detention basins appear to be designed to control peakdischargesforstormsuptothe100-year event.For these basins to be effective,the runoff from the indicated contributing areas must be conveyed to the basins.if the conveyance does not occur within the piped system,then overland flow must be directed to the appropriate detention facility.The project engineer should show how runoff from larger storm events would be conveyed via overland flow to the detention basins so that such flows will be adequately controlled relative to peak rates,and so that these flows will not cause erosion or impact water quality. 14.Jeffrey Folger’s letter dated May 14 indicates a concern about the impact of the extended peak runoff volumes on the stream channel geometry of the receiving watercourse.The drainage report provided for our review does not appear to address this concern,and contains no data or calculations relative to impacts of extended peak runoff volumes and increased frequency of bankfull discharges. 15.The information supplied for our review does not contain data or discussion relative to development impacts on base flows in the stream as a result of reduced recharge and interception for groundwater resulting from the development. .The project proposes rain gardens,drainage swaies,and a limited number of roof runoff recharge systems to help mitigate the effects of development .runoff.The tile information does not indicate whether other "low impact development"strategies have been considered to offset potential impacts from stormwater runoff.These include such measures as pervious paving systems,"green roofs",multi-story buildings (to minimize overall building coverage),under-building parking,and other strategies for reducing impervious surface and enhancing recharge and evapotranspiration. .Management of Lonq-term Water Quality .The area of contiguous impervious surface of the proposed commercial development will exceed 5 acres,indicating that the project will require filing under the Connecticut General Permit for the Discharge of Stormwater Associated with Commercial Activity.This general permit requires preparation and implementation of a Stormwater Management Plan incorporating a number of specified Stormwater Management Measures.We suggest the municipal reviewing commissions be provided a copy of the proposed Stormwater Management Plan,to ensure consistency between that plan and the proposed design and operation of the facility to meet local standards and requirements. The area of proposed site alteration for building,paving,and other earthwork appears to be greater than 5 acres,indicating that the project will require filing a CT General Permit for the Discharge of Stormwater and Dewatering Wastewaters Associated with Construction Activities.This general permit includes requirements for management of long-term water quality.The permit requires that “the permittee shall install post-construction stormwater EK‘RE ENSR International The Shops at Evergreen Walk Drainage Review,South Windsor,CT management measures designed to remove suspended solids from storrnwater.A goal of 80 percent removal of total suspended solids from the stormwater discharge shall be used in designing and installing stormwater management measures.” We recommend that the applicant provide written documentation,including TSS removal calculations,to demonstrate compliance with this requirement and to show that pollution wouldnotoccurasaresultoftheproposedprojectstormwaterdischarge.See next comment. 3.There are accepted engineering practices available to quantitatively document the totalsuspendedsolids(TSS)removal rates.However,in the reports and plans in the public record thathavebeenfumishedforourreview,we have found no calculations that show TSS removaleffectivenessofthestormwatermanagementsystem.ENSR is therefore unable to review theassumptions,methodologies,and computations upon which the project engineer has assessed theabilityofthedesigntopreventpollutionfromthestormwaterdischarge. 4.We recommend that the applicant document that the design complies with the Hydrologic Sizing Criteria (Chapter 7)of the Draft Connecticut Stormwater Quality Manual,to show that pollution would not occur as a result of the proposed storm water discharge.The draft manual contains a number of guidelines that have been developed and applied for a number of yearsinotherjurisdictions. While the manual is currently a draft,and is not incorporated into local regulatory standards, we believe the guidelines reasonably reflect the "state of the art"for stormwater management, and comprise a reasonable methodology for quantitatively documenting the storm water management effectiveness of this project. 5.The plans show three off‘line Storm Water Treatment chambers (SWTC).Why is a chamber not shown for the discharge from Culvert End #93? 6.Mr.Folger states that additional rain gardens should be placed within the development to maximize the retention and infiltration of storm water within the development.We believe that more extensive consideration be given to the development overall,to incorporate other "low impact development"strategies,as stated in our previous comment under "General Analysis". 7.The effectiveness of the rain gardens should be quantitatively documented.Calculations should be provided to demonstrate that the rain gardens and other management measures are sufhcient to mitigate for development impacts on the recharge and surface water patternsthatcurrentlysustainthewetlandsystemsonthesite. 8.A number of the rain gardens are located in parking lot islands that are oriented along the slope,resulting in some landscape island gradients as steep as 4 to 5 %.These slopes will limit the ability of the rain gardens to pond water to enhance the detention/infiltration function. lt also makes the parking lot islands function as steeply sloped vegetated waterways They should be designed for both capacity and stability (supporting calculations should be provided).The engineer may need to incorporate special measures for stability,where landscape plantings and mulch are proposed instead of grass.Landscape islands that EK‘R ENSR lnterna1i0nal The Shops at Evergreen Wulk Drainage Review,South Windsor,CT contribute to erosion would be counter-productive. Subsurface data needs t0 be provided to support the design of the rain gardens.The typicaldetaildepictsanunderdrain.Are subsurface conditions Iimiting to the performance of the proposed rain gardens?The project engineering team has indicated that where rain gardenunderdrainsarefurnished,they will discharge into storm drainage structures.That being thecase,the affected rain gardens would have Iittle benefit relative to groundwater recharge. 10.The design shows the use of vegetated watenNays (or swales)followed by the detention basins.While this constitutes one possible combination of devices as a "treatment train".we believe there is a better alternative.The function of a vegetated waterway can be enhanced if the peak rate of flow and the associated velocities are reduced.Placing the detention basin first in the "train".followed by the vegetated waterway has the following advantages: a.Deposition of course sediment would occur in the detention basin instead of within the watercourse downstream of the drain system outlet.A forebay incorporated in the detention basin design would provide for periodic removal of this sediment,and more effectively maintain swale capacity and vegetation integrity. b.The detention basin would reduce peak flows as well as flow velocities in the swale. helping prevent erosion of the swale,and allowing a greater opportunity for recharge and vegetative filtration within the swale. c.The gradients proposed for the swales could be made flatter,making them easier to stabilize,and also providing greater opportunity for infiltration and vegetative filtration. d.Standing water in the detention basin would be subject to warming during the extended drawdown period associated with a small orifice.Providing a well-shaded swale downstream of the detention basin could offset this temperature effect,and help control"thermal pollution". .Management of Construction Runoff .The area of proposed site alteration for building,paving,and other earthwork appears to be greater than 5 acres,indicating that the project will require filing a CT General Permit for the Discharge of Stormwater and Dewatering Wastewaters Associated with Construction Activities.We suggest the Commission be provided with the documentation that the applicant must prepare for this permit,to ensure consistency between that plan and the proposed design and operation of the facility to meet local standards and requirements. One temporary sedimentation basin is indicated on the drawings.The engineer indicated at the July 2,2003 IWWC meeting that the basin will remain permanently following construction. O ENSR International The Shops at Evergreen Walk Drainage Review,South Windsor,CT The proposed contours for this basin are not consistent with existing contours shown at this location.The notations on the plan indicate that the basin will discharge by a ievel spreader that appears to be constructed in fiil.This is an inappropriate use of a Ievel spreader,which should be constructed in existing ground with its lip parallel to the existing contour.The basin should be designed (and the design documented)in accordance with the Connecticut Guidelines for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control (2002). Also,what measures are needed to refurbish this basin and re-stabilize it once construction is complete and the contributing site is stabilized? E.Other Desiqn Issues 1.As indicated in Jeffrey Folger’s May 14 letter,all catch basins should be equipped with 4- foot sumps and trap hoods to increase the capacity of sediment retention and increase the emciency of floatable and hydrocarbon capture.Further,we recommend that the storm water conveyance system design should be modified to provide for an absolute minimum number of "flow through"catch basins.Deep sump catch basins with hoods are most effective when they do not have an incoming pipe.A better design is to provide a "trunk- line"storm drain with manhole structures at the junctions,with individual catch basins connected to these manholes. 2.The stage-storage table for Detention Basin 3 includes a lowest elevation of 85.The stage- storage table for Detention Basin 4 includes a lowest elevation of 73.The grading plans do not show these elevations. 3.The drawings show an emergency spillway constructed within the limits of the proposedembankmentfillforDetentionBasin4.This is not a recommended practice.The spillway should be constructed in existing ground,if practicable.Furthermore,the spillway should provide for a minimum freeboard at the design flow for the spillway.We recommend that the emergency spillway should be designed (and supported by calculations)assuming the principal spillway is non-functional. 4.Detention Basin 3 should include an emergency spillway. 5.The calculation output indicates that there will be less than one foot of freeboard for Detention Basin 4 during the 100-year storm.NRCS typically recommends at least a foot of freeboard over the maximum water depth in the pond during emergency overflow conditions.The engineer should document that the detention basin design meets the dam and detention basin embankment requirements for CT,including provision of adequate freeboard (see,for example,the Connecticut Guidelines for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control,which contains detailed guidelines for basin design in the section applicable to sediment basins).An additional allowance of freeboard capacity should be provided to account for embankment settlement. 6.The vegetated watenNays (swales)should be properly designed for both capacity and stability,using HEC-15 or other standard of practice that accounts for vegetative linings and ENp‘Ra ENSR international The Shops at Evergreen Walk Drainage Review,South Windsor.CT for stability design.ENSR’s analysis of the swale calculations presented in Appendix D of the drainage report indicates that the engineer has not correctly applied the HEC-15 procedure. Some of the waterway slopes in the calculations appear to be inconsistent with the drawings;the engineer should confirm that correct slopes are used to design the swales.

SMC Battery Breaking Superfund Site,Plant City,Florida Mr.Titus has sewed as the principal expert witness for a legal defense team who represent nine insurance companies being sued by the historical SMC site owners for $24 million dollars inremediationcostsassociatedwithanEPAdirected‘Superfund cleanup.The plaintiff asserts that contamination on site was the direct result of sudden and accidental loses caused by large flooding events in 1979 and 1982,which were covered by their general liability policies held during those time periods.HRP was retained by the defense group to review the case file (well over 100,000 pages), prepare expert opinions regarding the contamination,develop counter arguments to the plaintiff's expert witnesses and to participate in administration of depositions. Analysis included manipulation of decades of precipitation data, chemical evaluation of dissolved lead fate and transport in groundwater,sediment and eolian transport of lead contaminated sediments, and development of flooding models.The results of all analysis showed that the releases were not sudden and that many alternative, plausible explanations related to site operations were the source of site contamination. Following technical concessions made by the plaintiff‘s expert witnesses in depositions and in light of HRP‘s analysis,the perceived, potential liability of the defense group has been reduced from $24milliontoapproximately$350,000.Currently the legal team is preparing motions for summary judgment.

One State Street P.O.Box 231277 Hartford,CT 06123-1277 RE:APPLICATION #03-21P,MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING IN SOUTH WIN- DSOR,CONNECTICUT (HRP #UPD0007.HG) Dear Mr.King: Pursuant to your request,HRP Associates Inc.(HRP)has conducted a re- view of available environmental data sources with respect to the proposed project referenced above.Given the long agricultural history of the site,par-ticular focus was given to establishing the likelihood that the site may have been impacted by application of various pesticides,which are known to be toxic to human health and the environment.Our search included a review of the CT DPH Mapped Monitoring Locations For EDB and Vorlex and a CT DEP file review for investigations conducted on,or proximal to,the proposedconstructionsite.Our findings and conclusions are presented in the following text. The proposed construction site lies directly in the east central portion of an area designated as South Windsor Area 2 on the 1985 CT DPH Mapped Monitoring Locations For EDB and Vorlex base figure (to be presented before the commission).The map indicates that the pesticide EDB has been de— tected adjacent to both Smith Street and Clark Street.The boundaries of South Windsor Area 2 suggest that the entire area has historically been sub- ject to heavy commercial agricultural use and that the use of EDB was wide- spread. A review of CT DEP files for environmental work performed on properties ad— jacent to the proposed construction site has revealed the presence of addi- tional pesticides beyond EDB in the area.Specifically,a report entitled Phase l,II,and Ill Environmenta/Site Assessment was prepared by Fuss & O’Neil Inc.(F&O)and submitted to CT DEP on October 16,2002 for the Terry Office Park at 465—481 Buckland Road (attached).lt should be noted that this location is immediately to the north of the proposed construction area and well within the boundaries of South Windsor Area 2.The report indicates that the pesticides DDT,heptachlor epoxide and dieldrin were found in both site O:pm\ddt\King EDB letter -21 p CONNECTICUT lo7 New Brrtoln Avenue Plalnvllle,CT 06062 BOD-24o-902l 860r7¢3ro899 FAX BbUr793roB7l MASSACHUSETTS 220 Forbes Rood Suite 404 Brointree.MA O2]84 E00351 6590 78]{$562944 FAX 7Bl r35é—2409 NEW YORK 100 Soiotoga Village Blvd. Suite27 Malta,NV T2020 888-823-6427 51 3899-301] FAX5I E—BQQ-BI 29 PENNSVLVANIA A807 Jonestown Rood Surte 246 Harrisburg,PA l7]09 566723279524 71 779207]350 FAX 7T W920]353 SOUTH CAROLINA 7001 Pelhcm Road SurteJ Greenville.SC 29615 800-752-3922 564-289-031 l FAX 8642M -9846 vvwvrhrpaseociclies.com Creating the Right So/ufions Together Mr.John King Page 2 June 26,2003 soils and ground water in concentrations that exceed the CT DEP Remediation Standard Regula- tion (RSR). Given the apparent pervasive distribution of pesticides to the immediate north,south and west of the proposed construction site and its inclusion within the boundaries of South Windsor Area 2,it is reasonably foreseeable that this site has been impacted.Further,it is our opinion that the pro— posed construction on this property is exactly of the type and nature targeted in CT DEP General Guidance On Development of Former Agricultural Properties memo,which was issued in 1999 (attached).Of particular concern is the close proximity of the site to wetlands and the shallow ground water table.The construction plans call for movement of earth about the site and for the installation of infiltration structures known as rain gardens.lt is well accepted that disturbance (i.e.earth movement)of contaminated materials has the effect of mobilizing contaminants to ground water which could be exacerbated by the infiltration design as proposed.As such, placement of potentially contaminated material in close proximity to wetland or waterways will in- troduce highly toxic pesticides to sensitive receptors.It should be noted that the DEP RSR sur- face water protection standards for the dieldrin and heptachlor epoxide are 0.1 and 0.05 pan‘s perbi/lion,which denotes the extreme toxicity of these compounds to surface water receptors (e.g.streams and wetlands).lt should also be noted that all of the identified pesticides are known to be toxic to humans as well and given the pedestrian nature of the site design should be consid— ered in the overall site material management protocol. It is our conclusion that a reasonable standard of professional care for this site requires confor- mance with the 1999 CT DEP guidance for development of this site.At a minimum,an adequate investigation to determine the presence or absence of regulated pesticides in the site soils and ground water should be performed.if pesticides are detected on the site,the RSR should be used as the benchmark for environmental compliance as it relates to human health and the envi- ronment.Please note that the RSR provides specific guidance for the placement or “reuse"of contaminated soils and for ground water quality monitoring requirements,which could signifi— cantly impact the current construction design of the site. Please do not hesitate to call us at (860)793—6899 with any question or concerns.Thank you for the opportunity to be of continued service.

The Environment Committee held a public hearing on Wednesday on Heagney’s proposal,House Bill 6190 —An Act Prohibiting Soil Mixing as a Remediation Method for Residential and Agricultural Properties. The bill would prohibit soil mixing as a contaminant remediation method on agricultural property if the within an aquifer protection area unless it has been determined that the soil mixing would not endanger the water supply. Heagney introduced the bill to address a recent concern that arose in Simsbury after planning and zoning authorities,along with the local health district,required a soil analysis ofthe tobacco lands onwhicharesidentialhousingdevelopmentwastobebuilt.This action was taken because highly toxic pesticides used to facilitate the growth oftobacco polluted the surrounding area. As result,the soil tests reported residual amount of chlordane and other pesticides in the soil that exceeded standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency.Heagney said the EPA’s drinking water standards identify the health effects ofchlordane as ‘acute to potentially cause central nervous system effects,tremors,convulsions,deep depression and blood system effects such as anemia andcertaintypesofleukemia.’ ln addition,there is evidence that chlordane may have the potential to cause cancer.That‘s why Heagney introduced this proposal. “The intent'of my bill is simple:if there are drinking water supplies in the area,soil mixing remediation would not be allowed,It’s a proposal that will keep public water supplies safe and protect the public’saccesstocleanwater,"Heagney said. “In Sirnsbury’s situation,the aquifer that was threatened supplies at least 15 percent of the tovms publicdrinkingwater.We are dependent on this ground water and we‘ve been extremely diligent in protectingithemcontamination.This proposal reaffirms that commitment and prevents any future threats ofcontamination,”Heagney added. The bill awaits approval ofthe Environment Committee before the full House and Senate consider it. Heagney,however,pledged to continue to work toward its passage. http://www.housegop.state.ct.us/pressrel/Heagney/2OO l/pressO 1 6a.htm 7/8/2003 g/C/L/t-bff é ‘7/§/03 STATE OF CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION June l3,2003 Michell:Carlson Senior Proj ect Manager Fuss &O'Neill,Inc, 146 Hartford Road Manchcstcr,CT O6040-592l Re:Application No.PGP—200203024 Town of South Windsor Proposed Gateway Trunk Sewer Lina/Evergreen Walk Dear Ms.Carlson: We am in recaipt of your lettcr dated May 15,2003 regarding [he mooring on April 28,20.93 at which we discussed the Towu of South Windsor’s Gateway Trunk Sswcr and Evergreen Walk projects and the additional documentation needed to complete the application tiled under the Army Corps of Engneer‘s Programmatic General Permit.Subsequent to the meeting,WereceivedyoursubmittalofMay15,2003 including your letter,drainage calculations for existing and potential conditions,a map titled,“Evergreen Walk Conceptual Plan,Sanitary Sewer Alternatives,Wetlands Quality and Potential Mitigation Areas"dated May 9,2003 and a map titled,“Evergreen Walk,Conceptual Plan with Drainage Areas and Proposed Storm WaterDetenu'on"dated May 9,2003.

The distributions of site-generated traffic as presented in the report assign 35%of site trafficfromtheareasouthofPleasantValleyRoadofwhich25%will arrive via the 1-84 eastboundoff-ramp and 10%via Buckland Street from Manchester.The distribution appears to contradictthegravitymodelpreparedbytheapplicantinaletterpresentedtothetownonAugust24,2001, (copy of gravity model is enclosed).The gravity model shows that more than 45%of all site— generated traffic is expected to arrive from the west and would be expected to use the 1-84eastboundoff-ramp to Buckland Street and about 20%should arrive and depart via BucklandStreet(from Manchester).The 45%distribution at the 1-84 eastbound off-ramp is alsosupportedbypreviousapprovalsgrantedbySTCtoBucklandHillsMall(Certificate No.603B,copy enclosed). We feel,based on the data provided and on our own experience in the area,that the 25% projection for the 1—84 eastbound off—ramp is low.Field observations clearly show that thisrampcurrentlyexperiencesdelaysandpoorlevel-of-service.The true traffic impact of theEvergreenWalkprojectwillbefeltatthisrampmorethanatanyotherlocationofthesurroundingintersections.Similarly the 10%predicted on Buckland Street is contradicted bythegravitymodelthatshowsover20%should arrive from that direction.

Because Poag &Thomason,as the company was called,knew how to huild strip centers,it seemed natural to make the new center open—air.They found the perfect site,in Germantown,an affluent area near Memphis that sorely lacked upscale retail.But persuading retailers and investors to back an anchorless spe— cialty center was a challenge. Saddle Creek's plans called for a high— er‘quality design and more-extensive landscaping than is found in the usual strip center,and the project would cost between $150 per square foot and $100 per square foot to build (compared with the more typical $70 per square foot to $80 per square foot).

Poag 8i McEwen developed the lifestyle center concept when Terry McEwen joined Dan Poag in 1984 to form a company focused on a more Saddle Creek.Memphis.Tennessee. Susan Hayden convenient shopping alternative,or what they like to call,“the mall with- out the haul."When McEwen and Poag joined forces,Poag owned a nume ber of strip centers that the company managed and leased,until about 10 years ago when the partners decided to sell all the strip centers,sell its man- agement and leasing company and fo- cus solely on developing lifestyle cenr ters. ”We wanted to become more ag- gressive and do more of these centers, and we wanted our entire staff focused only on these projects,"says McEwen Poag and his wife never liked shop ping in malls and felt like a lot of their peers didn’t either.With his back- ground in developing strip centers, Poag recognized that shoppers pre- ferred to visit stores that were close to their homes,easy to locate and direct- ly and safely accessible,He felt it was possible to combine the convenience of a strip center with upscale retailers and an upscale environment and make it a pleasant and easy shopping expe- riencei Thus,the lifestyle concept was born,and the first Poag $1 McEwen lifestyle center,called Saddle Creek, opened in Cermantown,Tennessee, near Memphis in the spring of 1987. Located at the intersection of Poplar Avenue and West Farmington Boule- vard/West Street,Saddle Creek is nes- tled among the three wealthiest zip codes in Memphis.And most of the upscale tenants,including Williams-Town Center Plaza,Kansas City. McEwen centers twice as often as reg- ular malls.With shoppers who spend over 50 percent more money per visit, Poag &McEwen lifestyle centers con- sistently enjoy per square—foot sales volumes that far surpass those pro- duced by competing regional malls and strip centers.And maintenance costs are lower,so lifestyle centers be- come more profitable for retailers“When we first started,the lifestyle center concept was unproven,"says McEwen‘“But we anticipated that it would be successful because we thought that customers would like it." Memphis-based Poag 8i McEwen has done a number of studies since it started its lifestyle center push and has found,in fact,that customers love the concept. Studies show that what customers love most about the lifestyle center concept are:1)convenience,2)safety and 3)the appealing atmosphere and environment.They also like the ten- ant mix that Poag &McEwen centers offer.“The tenant mix is key,’notes McEwen.“If you don’t have the right tenants,it’s not a true lifestyle cen— ter." Poag 8r McEwen lifestyle centers feature prominent retailers,such as Williams-Sonoma,Pottery Earn,Ann Taylor,I.Jill,Banana Republic,Cold- water Creek,Chico’s,J.Crew and Tal- bots.These upscale fashion and spe- cialty retailers are complemented by a variety of upscale food and restaurant alternatives,along with luxurious spas and salons.A true "lifestyle center," according to the company,is ”an open- air shopping center offering the finest of the national specialty shops and restaurants,a shopping experience geared towards today's busy lifestyle. &sy access,convenient parking,a safe environment,superior arChitecture and an inviting atmosphere are some of its features." That inviting atmosphere is achieved by upscale architecture in an open~air town center environment, Aspen Grove,Littleton,Colorado. Sonoma,Talbots,Eddie Bauer and Ann Taylor,have their only East Memphis stores at Saddle Creek.I.Crew,I.Iill, Sharper Image and Chico’s have their only Memphis stores at the center. Also unique to the market are restau- rants and eateries,including Yia Yia’s Eurocafe. LIFESIYLE Success Company research shows that shoppers have embraced the lifestyle center concept and visit Poag 8r Deer Park Town Center,Chicago, along with numerous pedestrian- friendly elements including wide,elab- orately decorated sidewalks,lush courtyards and outdoor café seating. In addition to Saddle Creek,Poag &McEwen now operates Town Cenr ter Plaza in suburban Kansas City, Among Town Center's 650,000 square feet of retail space are a 30,000»square— foot Barnes 8K Noble,a 100,000» square-foot Galyan’s sporting goods store,and a 20~screen AMC movie the- ater.The center’s 400,000 square feet of specialty store space features addiA tional retailers,such as Pottery Barn, Ann Taylor,Williams-Sonoma and Restoration Hardware.Similar retail- ers can be found at Poag &McEwen's other centers,Deer Park Town Center in Chicago and Aspen Grove in Littler ton,Colorado. DEVELOPING FUTURE The company is currently develop- ing a center in Colorado Springs,Cola orado,called The Shops at Briargate. With the first phase scheduled to open in August of this year,The Shops at Briargate will welcome tenants such as Talbots,Adrienne Vittadini,Is Jill, Chico’s,Ann Taylor,WilliamsSono- ma,Pottery Barn,Pottery Barn Kids, Coldwater Creek,Victoria’s Secret and PF,Chang's —many for the first time to Colorado Springs.The Colorado Springs/El Paso County market is one of the fastest growing in America.Dur» ing the 19905,the population in- creased by 34 percent ~three times the national average ~—to over 500,000, And El Paso County is predicted to be the largest county in Colorado,with more than 700,000 residents,by 2010. By 2005,the average household in- come for the entire Colorado Springs/El Paso County market will increase by more than 20 percent to nearly $80,000. Poag &McEwen is also developing a lifestyle center in Northern Colorado in the city of Loveland,called The Shops at Centerra.When fully devel- oped,it will reach 700,000 square feet, The company will also open three more centers in 2004 and 2005 in Cal- ifornia,Connecticut and Pennsylva» nia:Dos Lagos,a 625,000-square-foot center in Corona,California;Ever- green Walk,a 375,000-square-foot cen- ter in Hartford;and Saucon Valley,a 500,000-square-foot center in Allen- town, When shopping for markets,Poag St McEwen looks to retailers for feed» back on locations and has developed a computer software program that evala uates a potential site or market to see if the demographics will support the company's criteria for a successful lifestyle center.A competitive analysis is then conducted to evaluate the corn- petition in the marketplace and deter- mine if there is a void in the area. Today,Poag &McEwen centers run coast to coast,even in the North, where some might think an outdoor concept wouldn’t work.“One thing we’re questioned about all the time is if our centers will work in the North where it’s colder,”says McEwen,“We’ve found that they work great in the North,and [the cold weather]doesn’t seem to be an issue." Absence of comparable retail com- petition is another deciding factor in choosing locations.For example,both Aspen Crove and Deer Park Town Cen» ter are located 10 miles from the nears est comparable retail competition.And The Shops of Saddle Creek has no competition within 9 miles to the north and west and no true competi- tion to the south and east. The management and marketing of Poag 8t McEwen centers are unique to the industry,according to McEwen.“You don’t manage and market lifestyle centers like you would a strip center,they’re more closely related to a mall in the intensity of the manage- ment and marketing that's required," he says.“But we tend to market them more specific to the general area than most malls do,where advertising is more generic.And we get very inr volved in the community.At each of the properties we have a general manr ager,a marketing director and,some- times,an director.” Providing community benefits is key to Poag 8t McEwen’s mission.All of the company's centers include town centers that reflect and promote the identity of surrounding neighbor- hoods and commercial developments. The lifestyle centers complement neighborhood traffic flows,with the lowest flows during the morning and afternoon rush hours.They also genr erate significant economic benefits, with exceeding sales numbers that translate into increased sales tax rev- enues for state and local governments. And the company’s substantial invest ment in highrend architecture and landscaping translates into higher per» square-foot property tax valuations for lifestyle centers than other shopping centers. Moving forward,Poag $4!McEwen is gearing up to develop anywhere from two to four lifestyle centers per year.The company is staffing up in all aspects,but primarily in leasing and development to be able to develop more of the lifestyle center product, says McEwen. “l think we have positioned ourv selves as a company to produce the highest quality lifestyle centers,and that is our goal going forward.We still intend to be at the top of the industry as far as the quality of the architec- ture,the projects,the tenant mix and the way the centers are managed and marketed to produce the maximum sales volumes."SOB assistant amarketinc Reprinleu From Shopping Gamer Business,May 2003 ©2003 France Publicatious.Inc...Allanla,GA (404}832-8262 gg‘c/é/iér 71 f; rymg fw. ‘Landscaps Ax'chitccmre 'SitE Pianning 'Devt‘bpmwt Consulting ROSEMARY ALDRIDGE,ASLA EXPERIENCE 2001 —present LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT /CONSULTANT Principal of Insite,LLC,a design flrm providing landscape architectural services for private clients,residential design,garden design,site planning,presentationsandpermitting,wetland mitigation plantings,specifications and construction superv1sron. 1995 —2001 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT /CONSULTANT Principal of Planimetrics,LLP,a private consulting firm providing planning,zoning,and development consulting for public agencies and private clients. 1991 -1995 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT Principal of private consulting firm providing landscape architectural design services for residential clients. 1983 -1991 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT,Landscape Architectural Design Associates Responsible for conducting research,regulation analysis,and resource inventory; preparing base maps,site plans,presentation graphics,and specifications; presenting projects,contract administration,and site supervision.
