Mr. Rob Brule, First Selectman
Town of Waterford
15 Rope Ferry Road
Waterford, CT 06385
Dear Mr. Brule:
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Eastern Connecticut Conservation District, |
am writing to request Waterford’s support in the 2020-21 fiscal year in the amount of
$1,500. The municipal contributory support that we receive from our towns provides
much-needed funding that assists our efforts, as a non-profit organization, throughout
our 36-town service area.
In addition to the rising costs of conservation projects we undertake, there are many
unfunded activities that help to support those projects -- before, during and after
completion. We reach out to you to support clean local waters and sound
environmental stewardship for your town.
Of major focus in eastern Connecticut is keeping our waters clean and safe. The
municipal donations that we receive help build the foundation we need to implement
low-impact development and green infrastructure projects. Additionally, municipal
contributions allow ECCD to respond to requests from town residents for
environmental reviews, such as for erosion & sediment control. Funding from the
towns also supports our educational efforts, Keeping residents, farmers, business
owners and town staff, as well as ECCD staff, current on best management practices
that impact our natural resources including our local waterbodies - which flow into
Long Island Sound.
In Waterford during the coming year, ECCD will continue to provide coordinator
services to the Niantic River Watershed Committee (NRWC), a largely unfunded
position that ECCD has been supporting without adequate reimbursement.
Waterford’s municipal contribution will offset a portion of the District’s professional
services to the NRWC. As the coordinating entity of the Niantic River Watershed
Committee, ECCD provides support services to the Niantic River watershed
including the submission and acquisition of grants. Over the past year, ECCD has
been administering two grants, one from CT DEEP and the other from the
Community Foundation of Eastern CT, to update the Niantic River Watershed
Protection Plan. The Protection Plan has been completed and will guide the
restoration and protection of the Niantic River well into the future. All of these
efforts improve the water quality of the Niantic River for shellfishing and recreation,
and reflect the District's commitment to the watershed and the Town of Waterford.
ECCD was awarded a grant from and executed a contract with CT DEEP to install in


a
Waterford 3 tree filters, 7 rain gardens, 8 stormdrain SmartSponges and 10 rain barrels. This project
is underway.
The District received a third grant from the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut, to continue
the stormwater collaborative it created two years ago. The Eastern CT Stormwater Collaborative is
the first stormwater collaborative in Connecticut. Its purpose is to share knowledge, expertise and
resources with other participants to comply with the CTDEEP MS4 General Stormwater Permit,
municipal officials from Waterford have been regularly attending collaborative meetings.
ECCD employs five full time staff. Our projected salaries for 2020-21 total $287,000, as noted in the
attached budget. We do not receive any funding from the United Way. The District serves all
residents in Waterford.
We have included a copy of our 2019-20 Annual Report to offer a glimpse of the range of activities
that we provide, often in partnership with other conservation organizations. We have also included
the District’s most recent Annual Audit, our current operating budget and a list of municipalities that
contributed to ECCD in the past year.
Your support is greatly appreciated! In advance, we thank you very much.
Sincerely,
nea
William A. Jorsz

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Lionel LaSalle II, CPA
Certified Public Accountant & Business Advisor
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Eastern Connecticut Conservation District, Inc.
Norwich, Connecticut
I have audited the accompanying financial statements of Eastern Connecticut Conservation District, Inc. (a nonprofit organization)
which comprise of the statement of assets, liabilities and net assets -income tax basis, as of June 30, 2019, and the related
statement of revenues, expenses and other changes in net assets - income tax basis, and the related notes to the financial
statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the basis of
accounting Eastern Connecticut Conservation District, Inc. uses for income tax purposes; this includes determining that the income
tax basis of accounting is an acceptable basis for the preparation of the financial statements in the circumstances. Management is
also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, Tp
procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of .
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant
to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.
Accordingly, I express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.
Opinion
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets, liabilities, and net assets
of Eastern Connecticut Conservation District, Inc. as of June 30, 2019, and its revenues, expenses, and other changes in net assets
for the year then ended in accordance with the basis of accounting Eastern Connecticut Conservation District, Inc. uses for income
tax purposes described in Note 1.
Basis of Accounting
I draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial statements are
prepared on the basis of accounting Eastern Connecticut Conservation District, Inc. uses for income tax purposes, which is a basis of
accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. My opinion is not modified with
respect to this matter.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
RECOGNITION OF REVENUE
Contributions
Contributions are defined as voluntary, non reciprocal transfers.
Unrestricted and unconditional contributions are recognized as revenue when received.
Contributions are reported as temporarily restricted if they are received with donor
stipulations that limit the use of such assets. When a restriction expires, that is, when a
stipulated time restriction ends or a purpose restricted is accomplished, temporarily
restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the
Statement of Revenue, Expenses, and Other Changes in Net Assets.
Contributed Services
Many individuals volunteer their time and perform a variety of tasks that assist the
Organization with its educational programs. The Organization receives approximately
1,000 volunteer hours per year that have not been recorded in the Statement of
Revenues, Expenses, and other Changes in Net Assets.
Contributed Facilities
The Organization uses facilities located in the USDA Service Center in Norwich,
Connecticut and at CT Audubon in Pomfret Center that have not been recorded in the
Statement of Revenue, Expenses and Other Changes in Net Assets.
