Bloomingdale Road, Quaker Hill, 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, excavation and grading in 6,500 sq. ft. of upland review area easterly of
two on-site wetland areas for installation of an on-site septic system,
2. Temporary disturbance of 525 sq. ft. of wetland area #1 (0.01 acre) to conduct
removal of glass, metal and other debris from 8 inches of the wetland surface,
3. Replacement of 8 inches of clean soil within wetland #1 to restore surface grade,
(approximately 15 cubic yards), and installation of native shrub plantings.
These regulated activities are associated with the construction of a proposed residential structure served
by on-site septic and well on property located at 234 Bloomingdale Road, Quaker Hill, Connecticut. The
proposed development is shown on a plan entitled; “Integrity Properties, Septic System Design Plan, 234
Bloomingdale Road, Quaker Hill, Connecticut, revised thru 10/10/2024, prepared by CLA Engineers, Inc.
The Conservation Commission authorizes the 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. The authorized limits of clearing shall be marked on the site and inspected by the Commission’s
agent for consistency with the approved plan prior to the start of site work.
2. The removal of surface debris from wetland #1 shall be field supervised by a wetland scientist.
The replacement of excavated substrate with clean topsoil material shall not exceed the existing
elevation of the wetland substrate.
3. The number and species of proposed wetland shrub enhancement plantings shall be approved by
the Commission’s agent prior to installation.
4. A wetland non-encroachment boundary is designated on this property to provide a vegetated
buffer adjacent to inland wetland resources. No other activity, including but not limited to filling,
grading, clearing or removal of vegetation shall be conducted within the wetland non-
encroachment area without specific authorization from the Conservation Commission.

5. The wetland non-encroachment area boundary shall be marked on site with non-encroachment
area markers provided by the Conservation Commission affixed to trees or to 4 x 4 inch posts.
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 loam, 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. Ifthe regulated activity is not completed

The Conservation Commission renders this Summary Ruling in accordance with the Waterford Inland
Wetlands and Watercourses Regulations based on the following considerations:
A. The authorized temporary disturbance of 0.01 acre of inland wetland area #1 involves the
remediation and restoration of wetland substrate to improve the natural capacity of the wetland to
support wildlife habitat and to improve water quality.
B. Potential short-term construction impacts are minimized by installation of erosion and sediment
controls to reduce the potential for sediment impacts. Potential long-term impacts to on-site
wetland resources are minimized by maintenance of wetland hydrology and maintenance of a
vegetated wetland buffer designated as a wetland non-encroachment area.
C. 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. 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.
