Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Permit #C-21-07
44 Way Hill Road, 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 44 Way Hill Road, 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. Temporary disturbance of 4,000 square feet of a man-made pond for removal of
sediments and to increase pond depth.
These regulated activities are associated with the proposed maintenance of a man-made pond
located at 44 Way Hill Road, Waterford, Connecticut. 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:
SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
1. The inlet and outlet pipes at the pond shall be temporarily blocked to prohibit flow during
de-watering and excavation activities.
2. De-watering discharge from the pond shall be treated through a hay bale de-watering
basin prior to discharge to adjacent wetlands.
3. Temporary material stockpiles shall be surrounded with sediment controls and
maintained within the existing lawn area.
4. All excavated materials shall be removed from the site. No fill is herein authorized.
5. The disturbed areas of the pond perimeter shall be planted with native shrub and
herbaceous vegetation to restore bank stabilization.
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 seed and appropriate erosion
control measures.
3. Atall 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 wetland disturbance is temporary and will not affect the pond functions or
capacity to support fish and wildlife.

B. Short-term construction impacts will be minimized by sediment control and de-
watering measures as proposed.
C. 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. 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.
