Re: Timber Harvest- 105R & 125 Old Colchester Road, Waterford, CT
Mr. Harmon,
At their meeting conducted on July 27, 2023, the Waterford. Conservation determined that the referenced
timber harvest activity and the use of a temporary timber bridge and corduroy crossing of an intermittent
watercourse and wetlands meets the criteria for a permitted. use under Section 4,1a of the Waterford
Inland Wetlands and Watercourses regulations.
The following best rnanagement practices are recommended to protect inland wetlands and watercourses
on the site from direct and secondary impacts associated with the proposed harvest:
1. Install corduroy approaches at the temporary stream crossings to minimize disturbatice to the
steeain channel atid embankmierits;
2, Upon completion of the titnber harvest, remove the temporary crossings and.approaches and
smooth ruts in disturbed soils:to pre-existing grades: Seed and hay exposed. soil areas on. skid
trails and haul routes,
Please notify this-office at the completion of the harvest activity to schedule a site inspection to teview
site stabilization, If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at 860 444-5813.
Sincerely,
LAL
