generate any adverse impacts as defined in CGS Section 22a-93(15). If an adverse impact may result from the
proposed project or activity, please use Part VIII to describe what project design features may be used to
eliminate, minimize, or mitigate the potential for adverse impacts.
Mitigation
Potential Adverse Impacts on Coastal Resources Applicable Not Applicable Proposed
i. Degrading tidal wetlands, beaches and dunes,
rocky shorefronts, and bluffs and escarpments
through significant alteration of their natural
characteristics or functions
L L]
ii. Increasing the hazard of coastal flooding through
significant alteration of shoreline configurations or [| [x | T]
bathymetry, particularly within high velocity
flood zones - CGS Section 22a-93(15)(E)

water through the significant alteration of patterns CO Cc
of tidal exchange or flushing rates, freshwater input,
or existing basin characteristics and channel contours
iv. Degrading natural or existing drainage patterns
through the significant alteration of groundwater L]
flow and recharge and volume of runoff
y. Degrading natural erosion patterns through the ‘a ie
significant alteration of littoral transport of sediments x
in terms of deposition or source reduction
vi. Degrading visual quality through significant alteration
of the natural features of vistas and view points LJ CL
vii. Degrading water quality through the significant
introduction into either coastal waters or groundwater
supplies of suspended solids, nutrients, toxics, heavy T] [x | C]
metals or pathogens, or through the significant alteration
of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen or salinity
viii. Degrading or destroying essential wildlife, finfish, or
shellfish habitat through significant alteration of the

site physically suited for or planned for location of a LC] =
water-dependent use
ii. Replacing an existing water-dependent use [] [|
with a non-water dependent use
