NOTICE OF NON-COMPLIANCE
Un-Authorized Clearing & Grading Adjacent to
Inland Wetlands -125 Old Colchester Road
To: John L. Staller
105 Old Colchester Road
Quaker Hill, CT 06375
Mr. Staller,
The Waterford Conservation Commission received your application for construction of a new
house and driveway within the upland review area of inland wetlands on 125 Old Colchester
Road at their July 24, 2025 meeting. I reviewed the property on July 31, 2025 and observed that
clearing and grading for the proposed driveway and residential structure has been initiated.
You have not obtained a permit to conduct this activity.
This unauthorized clearing and grading is in violation of Section 6 of the Town of Waterford
Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Regulations. By this notice you are instructed to refrain from
any additional vegetation clearing, grading or fill on this property until such time as an inland
wetland permit and zoning compliance permit have been issued.
To assist in the review of your application, I request that your wetland scientist review the site
and re-mark the wetland boundary in the area of the driveway and the area east of the proposed
house location. The wetland boundary flagging is not readily observable so it is difficult to
determine how close to the wetland the clearing and boulder placement has occurred. Also, the
existing wetland flagging observed east of the house location does not correspond to the wetland
flag numbering indicated on the submitted site plan.
I f you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at 860 444-5813 or by email
at mfitzgerald@waterfordct.org. Your cooperation in resolving this matter is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Maureen FitzGerald
Environmental Planner
