51 Daniels Avenue - Page 3 of 3
The Conservation Commission renders this Summary Ruling in accordance with the Waterford
Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Regulations based on the following considerations:
A. The proposed activity does not involve direct impacts to wetlands or
watercourses and maintains vegetated uplands upgradient of wetland resources.
B. The disturbance of upland review area west of wetland area #1 does not result in
potential adverse impacts to wetland functions. The area is primarily a
maintained lawn cover with some ledge.
C. The activity has been found to not affect the capacity of the wetland resources to
support wildlife habitat, perform groundwater discharge/recharge functions, and
to support sediment/toxicant/nutrient removal functions.
D. Short-term potential impacts to wetlands are minimized through implementation
of a detailed erosion and sediment control plan.
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.
