Maureen,
Jim Cowen estimates a fee for inspections and reports in year one of $625. and $425. in year two.
I would expect that we would not lose more than 25% of our plants: $250.
And since we are only dealing with a very small area $300 should more than cover invasive species control.
In consideration of this I would request that the bond be reduced to $2,500.
Thanks

Hello Skip -
[t is not only a maintenance bond. The bond covers the twice yearly inspections, 2 yearly reports, replacement of lost
plants and measures to control invasive plant growth. To request the bond reduction, identify the estimated costs for
the 2 years of inspections, 2 yearly reports to the Conservation Commission, invasive species controls and plant
replacement costs. | would not recommend release of a significant amount at this time because the plantings were
installed in November and it is too early to determine what initial survival rate will be achieved for 2021.

Section 10.2 - Factors for Consideration:
10.2a — Environmental impact of the proposed regulated activity on wetlands and watercourses
The proposed activity, preferred alternative #5, involves permanent fill of 4,138 square ft. of wetland and
temporary impacts of 1,500 square feet of wetland for grading a swaled outlet. On-site enhancement of
6,800 square ft. of wetland is proposed to mitigate for loss of wetland habitat, flood storage and
pollutant/nutrient attenuation functions.
The wetland does not support vernal pool habitat. Wetland functions have been identified as limited
wildlife habitat, flood storage and nutrient/pollutant trapping and removal, limited due to the wetland’s
small size, isolated location, surrounding residential use and invasive non-native species.
The wetland scientist has stated that the enhancement of the wetland plant community will improve
habitat and pollutant attenuation functions of the wetland. The mitigation area is proposed to be
monitored for plant success and function for a period of 2 years following construction, with reports
submitted to the Commission. The wetland scientist has testified that the loss of wetland area will be
offset by the increased habitat diversity and nutrient attenuation of the wetland mitigation.
The engineer has testified that the loss of flood storage (96 cubic ft.) is mitigated by the proposed grading
and swaled outlet which discharges to the municipal drainage system. In testimony, the engineer stated
that the proposed design will drain the wetland area and the lot prior to flooding adjacent properties.
10.2b — The applicant’s purpose for, and any feasible and prudent alternatives to the proposed regulated
activity, which alternatives would cause less or no environmental impact to wetlands or watercourses.
The property is an approved subdivision lot established prior to the Inland wetlands and watercourses act.
The applicant intends to construct a residence upon the lot.
Five (5) alternative site development plans were submitted to the record. Alternative #5 was identified as
the preferred alternative. The agent clarified that the wetland fill area for the preferred alternative #5 is
4,138 square feet, with an additional 1,500 square feet of temporary grading disturbance to inland
wetlands to create the drainage outlet.
The difference in permanent fill area between alternates 3 and 4 (4,015 square feet of wetland fill), and
alternate 5 (4,138 square feet of wetland fill) is 123 sq. ft., due to the extension of the stone wall and fill
pad to the south-eastern property boundary. This extension was recommended by staff for a clear
delineation of the fill area.
Alternatives 4 and 5 have a reduced building footprint than that depicted on the other alternatives,
allowing for a clearance of 8 ft. between the wall of the structure and the stone wall bounding the
approved limit of fill. The wider space allows for access to the rear side of the yard and allows for
structure maintenance.
Inclusion of the graded wetland swale in alternative #5 to outlet the high water levels from the wetland to
the right-of-way and municipal storm-drain was proposed as an alternative solution to the concerns of
Public Works regarding the 12 inch drain connected to the catch basin shown in alternates #3 and #4.
Grading this wetland swale involves 1,500 square feet of wetland disturbance. This activity is temporary
and will not result in net loss of wetland area or function.

10.2c — Relationship between short-term and long-term impacts of the proposed regulated activity on
wetlands and watercourses and the maintenance and enhancement of long-term productivity of such
wetlands and watercourses, including consideration of the extent to which the proposed activity involves
tradeoffs between short-term environmental gains at the expense of long-term losses, or vice versa, and
consideration of the extent to which the proposed action forecloses or predetermines future options.
The proposal involves permanent loss of 4,138 sq. ft. of wetland area and enhancement of 6,800 sq. ft. of
wetland area on the lot. The temporary impacts are associated with grading a swaled outlet from the
wetland to the catch basin in the Oak Road right-of-way. The mitigation is proposed to increase habitat,
plant diversity and nutrient attenuation function of the remaining wetland. The drainage is designed to
compensate for the loss of flood storage resulting from the fill.
10.2d - Irreversible and irretrievable loss of wetland or watercourse resources which would be caused by
the proposed regulated activity, including the extent to which such activity would foreclose a future
ability to protect, enhance or restore such resources, and any mitigation measures which may be
considered as a condition of permit for such activity including, but not limited to, measures to (1) prevent
or minimize pollution or other environmental damage, (2) maintain or enhance existing environmental
quality, or (3) in the following order of priority: restore, enhance and create productive wetland or
watercourse resources.
Mitigation is proposed to enhance the wetland functions of the remaining wetland area by restoration and
plantings. Drainage improvements are proposed to compensate for the loss of flood storage area and
control the elevation of ponding in the wetland and impacts to adjacent properties and the road.
The wetland scientist has stated that the enhancement of the wetland plant community will improve
habitat and pollutant attenuation functions of the wetland. The mitigation area is proposed to be
monitored for plant success and function for a period of 2 years following construction, with reports
submitted to the Commission. The wetland scientist has testified that the loss of wetland area will be
offset by the increased habitat diversity and nutrient attenuation of the wetland mitigation.
The applicant has proposed placing a conservation easement over the remainder of the wetland area
located beyond the approved limits of fill and stone wall. Establishment of a conservation easement
restriction over the remainder of the wetland area will serve to permanently conserve the restoration areas.
10.2e - The character and degree of injury to, or interference with, safety, health, or the reasonable use of
property, including abutting or downstream property which would be caused or threatened by the
proposed regulated activity, or the creation of conditions which may do so. This includes recognition of
potential damage from erosion, turbidity, or siltation; loss of fish and wildlife and their habitat; loss of
unique habitat, loss of habitat having natural, scientific, or educational value; loss or diminution of
beneficial aquatic organisms and wetland plants; the dangers of flooding and the pollution; and the
destruction of economic, aesthetic, recreational, and other public and private uses and values of wetlands
and watercourses to the community. ;
The engineer has testified that the design will not cause flooding on adjacent or downgradient properties.
The wetland is an isolated pocket. Adjacent wetland areas will be identified and protected with the
construction of the stone retaining wall to serve as a clear boundary of the authorized fill, and the
establishment of a conservation restriction over the remaining wetland area.

Waterford Conservation Commission

10.2 - The impacts of the proposed regulated activity on wetlands or watercourses outside the area for
which the activity is proposed and future activities associated with or reasonably related to, the proposed
regulated activity which are made inevitable by the proposed regulated activity and which may have an
impact on wetlands or watercourses.
The engineer has testified that the design will not cause flooding on adjacent of downgradient properties.
The wetland is an isolated pocket. Adjacent wetland areas will be identified and protected with the
construction of the stone retaining wall to serve as a clear boundary of the authorized fill, and the
establishment of a conservation restriction over the remaining wetland area.
10.2g - Measures which would mitigate the impact of any aspect of the proposed regulated activity(ies).
Such measures include, but are not limited to, actions which would avoid adverse impacts or lessen
impacts to wetlands and watercourses and which could be feasibly carried out by the applicant and would
protect the natural capacity of the wetland or watercourse to support fish and wildlife, prevent flooding,
supply water, control sedimentation, prevent erosion, assimilate wastes, facilitate drainage, and to provide
recreation and open space.
Mitigation of the remaining wetland area is proposed to enhance wetland functions provided by the
wetland and maintain hydrology. Establishment of a conservation easement restriction over the
remainder of the wetland area will serve to permanently conserve the restoration areas. Avoiding wetland
impacts is not feasible on this lot. Alternatives have been presented to lessen impacts to wetlands.

RE: Wetland Monitoring Plan
11 Oak Road, Waterford
Mr. Adams,
At your request I have provided technical support for the wetland restoration at the above-
referenced address.
1. On August 8", I identified and tagged invasive non-native plants for removal; identified
hazard and unhealthy trees for removal; identified debris and piles of fill to be removed.
2. On November 17", I placed trees and shrubs to be installed; provided guidance and
planting of herbaceous plugs, seeding and mulching.
3. On November 18" I inspected the completed restoration planting.
The restoration planting has been installed in accordance with the mitigation plan. Most plants
were available—see attached plant order. Two extra swamp white oaks and 50 extra golden
alexanders were delivered. A total of 6 shrubs and 200 plugs were not available.
The seed mix is sufficient to provide herbaceous cover and compensate for the missing plugs.
In my opinion the restoration planting is sufficient even without the 6 missing shrubs. Next
spring at the first monitoring inspection, the plantings will be evaluated for survivorship and
health. If needed supplemental plantings will be ordered at that time. Over all the wetland
restoration planting has been successfully completed.
Yours truly,
