The Conservation Commission renders this Summary Ruling in accordance with the Waterford
Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Regulations based on the following considerations:
A. The construction does not involve impacts to inland wetlands or
watercourses. A vegetated wooded buffer is maintained between the edge
of the proposed lawn and the adjacent wetland resource.
B. The site plan is consistent with the terms and conditions of a previously
issued subdivision approval #90-16 granted by the Conservation
Commission in June 1990.
C. Short term potential impacts are mitigated by installation and maintenance
of erosion and sediment control measures.
D. Strict adherence to the terms and conditions imposed with this permit will
protect the quality of wetlands and surface waters on this property.
This permit will be strictly enforced. Ifthe 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.
