The Waterford Conservation Commission, in their capacity as the Town’s Inland Wetland 
Agency, hereby authorizes the applicant to conduct regulated activities in designated areas 
located at 30 Douglas Lane, Waterford, CT, which are subject to jurisdiction in accordance with 
CT General Statutes, Section 22a-36 through 22a-45, inclusive, as amended, and the Waterford 
Inland Wetlands and Watercourses regulations. 
 
This permit is a grant of approval to conduct the following regulated activities: 
 
1) Grading of land to construct a residential driveway and an on-site septic system within 
the 100 ft. Upland Review Area of inland wetlands and watercourses. 
 
These regulated activities are associated with the proposed construction of a new residential 
home on property located at 30 Douglas Lane, Waterford, Connecticut.  The proposed activities 
are shown on a plan entitled; “Site Plan Prepared For Albert Bove, 30 Douglas Lane, Map 61 Lot 
2092, Waterford, Connecticut”, dated January 12, 2021 revised thru 3-30-22, prepared by Indigo 
Land Design, LLC, Sheets 1-- 3. 
 
The Conservation Commission authorizes the regulated activity with the following conditions of 
approval to minimize impacts associated with the proposed regulated activity and protect the 
inland wetlands and watercourses on this site: 
 
SPECIAL CONDITIONS:  
 
1. A vegetated berm shall be constructed and maintained between the driveway and adjacent 
stream corridor wetland at the northwestern end of the proposed driveway access and 
extend a minimum distance of 50 feet from the edge of roadway pavement.   
 
2. The driveway shall be constructed and maintained a minimum distance of 20 feet from 
the wetland. 
 
3. Run-off from the driveway surface shall be directed to crushed stone leak-offs established 
along the northern edge of the driveway to reduce concentrated run-off flows and 
potential erosion of the driveway surface materials. 
 
4. The driveway apron shall be paved as indicated on the approved plan.

STANDARD CONDITIONS: 
 
1. The Conservation Commission’s agent shall be notified at least 48 hours prior to 
commencement of any regulated activity. 
 
2. Final stabilization of disturbed soil areas, including all temporary and permanent soil 
disturbances, shall be stabilized with the application of loam, seed and appropriate 
erosion control measures. 
 
3. At all times during site work and until soil areas are stabilized, the applicant shall install 
and maintain erosion and sediment control measures such as fabric filter fence, staked 
hay bales or other measures deemed necessary by the Commission’s agent to prevent 
erosion and sedimentation impacts to wetlands and watercourses. 
 
4. Erosion control and soil stabilization measures shall comply with the approved plans and 
the guidelines as established in the Connecticut Guidelines for Soil Erosion and Sediment 
Control, 2002, CTDEEP Bulletin 34. 
 
5. Upon direction of the Commission’s agent, erosion and sediment control measures shall 
be removed by the applicant following stabilization of the site. 
 
 
All work and all regulated activities conducted pursuant to this authorization shall be consistent 
with the terms and conditions of this permit.  Any structures, excavation, deposition of fill, 
obstructions of flow, encroachments or other regulated activities not specifically identified and 
authorized herein shall constitute a violation of this permit and may result in permit 
modification, suspension or revocation.  
 
In the event that any additional wetland or watercourse regulated activities are required as a 
result of other agency permitting to support the proposed activity, the Waterford Conservation 
Commission reserves the right to reconsider the proposed regulated activity and may require 
modifications to minimize the impact to wetland resources. 
 
In evaluating this application, the Commission has relied on information provided by the 
applicant.  If such information subsequently proves to be false, incomplete and/or inaccurate, this 
permit may be modified, suspended or revoked. 
 
 
This permit shall be valid for a period of 5 years.  Permit extensions may be authorized in 
accordance with CT General Statutes § 22a-36 through 22a-45 inclusive.   If the regulated 
activity is not completed within this time frame, the permit may be held to be invalid by the 
Conservation Commission or the applicant may be required to petition the Commission for an 
extension or re-issuance of the permit.  The Commission may require the applicant to furnish 
additional information at that time.

The Conservation Commission renders this Summary Ruling in accordance with the Waterford 
Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Regulations based on the following considerations: 
 
A. The activity does not involve direct wetland impacts. Measures have been 
incorporated into the driveway design to control run-off and erosion impacts to the 
downgradient wetland and watercourse. 
 
B. Strict adherence to the terms and conditions of this inland wetland permit will 
protect the quality of inland wetlands and surface water on this property. 
 
 
This permit will be strictly enforced.  If the Conservation Commission finds that the applicant 
has not complied with the permit conditions or has exceeded the scope of this permit as set forth 
herein, or, if the intended use of the general site is not as represented by the application or the 
plan of record, the Commission may suspend or revoke this permit, direct the Environmental 
Officer to issue a cease and desist order, require the applicant to modify, extend or revise the site 
work, or require the applicant to restore the area to its original condition.
