Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Permit #C-24-07 
9 Locust Court, Waterford, CT 
 
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 9 Locust Court, 
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 activity: 
 
1. Construction of a 24 ft. x 30 ft. accessory dwelling unit within the upland review area of an on-site 
wetland and watercourse; 
 
The proposed activities are shown on the site plan entitled; “Property Survey, Plan Prepared for Amy Scott 
Wadsworth, 9 Locust Court, Waterford, Connecticut”, dated March 24, 2024, Sheets 1 & 2, prepared by 
Brian D. Florek, L.S. 
 
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. Prior to the start of site clearing, the limits of disturbance shall be marked on the site and inspected 
by the Commission’s agent for consistency with the approved plan. 
 
2. Silt fence shall be installed at the limit of authorized disturbance and maintained for the duration of 
construction. 
 
3. The wetland buffer limit shall be marked on the site with planted shrubs to demarcate the boundary.   
No fill, clearing or construction is authorized within the wetland buffer area without specific 
authorization.   
 
STANDARD CONDITIONS: 
 
1. The Conservation Commission’s agent shall be notified at least 48 hours prior to commencement of 
any regulated activity. 
 
2. Upon completion of construction, 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 construction does not involve impacts to inland wetlands or watercourses.  A vegetated buffer is 
maintained between the edge of lawn and the adjacent stream channel. 
 
B. Short term potential impacts are mitigated by installation and maintenance of erosion and sediment 
control measures. 
 
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.
