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. Removal of debris and fill piles from areas of designated floodplain associated with Nevins 
Brook and restoration of disturbed areas with conservation seed and plantings. 
 
These regulated activities are associated with the proposed site remedial activities located at 42 Fog Plain

SPECIAL CONDITIONS:  
 
1. Fueling or maintenance of machinery is not authorized within the floodplain area or adjacent inland 
wetlands. 
 
2. The limits of clearing and soil disturbance associated with debris removal shall be marked on the 
site and approved by the Commission’s agent prior to start of removal activities. 
 
3. No disposal of soil, wood, metal concrete or other debris shall occur within wetlands, adjacent 
waterbodies or floodplain. 
 
4. All disturbed soil areas associated with the removal of debris piles shall be stabilized with 
application of conservation seed mixture.  
 
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 
where required to prevent soil erosion. 
 
3. 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,

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 involve direct impacts to inland wetlands or watercourses. 
The activity will restore floodplain area by removal of debris and restoration of exposed 
soils. 
 
B. Strict adherence to the terms and conditions of this inland wetland permit will protect the 
quality of inland wetlands and surface water 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.
