TOWN OF WATERFORD
Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Permit #C-23-10
52 Gurley 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 at 52 Gurley
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. Clearing & maintenance of 75 linear feet of the western bank of a stream channel to
remove debris, seed soil areas and plant shrubs along top of bank.
These regulated activities are associated with the proposed stream channel maintenance located at 52
Gurley Road, Waterford, Connecticut. The location of the proposed activity is shown on the attached
plan.
The Conservation Commission authorizes the regulated activity with the following conditions of approval
to minimize impacts associated with the proposed regulated activity:
SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
1. The existing channel depth and dimensions shall be maintained .
2. Re-graded areas shall be stabilized to prevent erosion of soil into the stream channel.
3. Native shrubs shall be planted along the 75 feet of disturbed western channel per the approved
plan.
4. Upon completion of the regulated activity, the permittee shall notify the Commission’s agent to
conduct an inspection of final stabilization measures and permit compliance.
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 activity does not adversely impact the watercourse and maintains its capacity to convey
surface flow and prevent flooding.
B. The short-term impacts of the regulated activity are mitigated by the long-term
improvement and stabilization of the watercourse.
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.
