BUDGET FUNCTION
The Waterford Conservation Commission serves as the Inland Wetlands Agency; reviewing
applications, issuing permits and enforcing activities affecting inland wetlands and
watercourses in accordance with the Waterford Inland Wetlands and Watercourses regulations
and CT General Statute’s 22a-36 through 22a-45. The Conservation Commission also carries

Boards and Agencies on natural resource identification and protection, and Open Space
preservation.
The Conservation Commission held 17 regularly scheduled meetings in FY 2024/25 and
e rendered decisions on 14 applications to conduct activities in and adjacent to inland wetlands
and watercourses. Inland Wetland permits issued authorized the temporary disturbance of
0,02 acres of wetland. Wetland mitigation efforts completed included on-site wetland
restoration of 0.012 acres of wetland.

The advertising account covers the cost of ail legal notice requirements required by State
statute. This includes publication of notices of public hearings, enforcement orders and notices
of decision on all Commission inland wetland agency actions. Advertisements for public
hearings and decisions of the Commission are required to be published in a newspaper having
general circulation in Waterford. To off-set publication costs, the Commission requires an
additional fee of $400.00 when a public hearing is required for the legal notices. The
requested budget amount is consistent with that approved for the FY 2025/26 budget.

FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST
_______ DEPARTMENT: CONSERVATION COMMISSION _
Postage Line 10114-52020
$125 Requested
Postage expenditures include certified letter mailings required for notice of Commission
decisions on applications and for enforcement proceedings, correspondence to Town residents,
and referrals to municipal, State and Federal agencies. The requested budget amount is
consistent with that approved for the FY 2025/26 budget.
Professional Services Line 10114-52030
$ 3,500 Requested
The professional services account is used to obtain professional technical reviews, retain expert
witnesses, chemical laboratory analyses and other professional technical assistance unavailable at
the municipal or State level that are required to conduct the duties of the inland wetlands agency
and the Conservation Commission. These services may include assisting the Commission with
technical expert reviews of application documents, investigating complaints of wetland, soil or
water quality impacts, documenting violations of the inland wetlands and watercourses regulations,
providing expert testimony in court proceedings, or assisting the Commission in preparing natural
resource surveys.
To carry out the responsibilities of the Inland Wetland and Watercourses Act, itis critical that the
Commission have the ability to retain expert witnesses for determination of impacts to wetlands O
and watercourses in order to reach and maintain defensible decisions. Court case law has
established that the finding of adverse impacts and justification for conditions of approval requires
technical expertise and expert evidence in the application record. The Commission uses the
expertise of staff members, and regional and state technical offices when available, however
specific technical expertise may be required during the application process within a limited time
frame. Having sufficient funding available to procure services when expert review is needed is
essential in consideration of the strict time frames established by State Statute for rendering
decisions on inland wetland applications.
The fee schedule for Inland Wetland permit applications allows the Commission to charge the
applicant for third party expert reviews and technical evaluations deemed necessary to assist in the
review of complex permit applications. However, the Commission continues to require funds for
‘obtaining professional expertise on items other than those duties associated with complex permit
applications.
Expenditures under this item are difficult to predict and are related to the number and complexity
of permit applications, public hearings, enforcement proceedings and technical needs of the
Commission. The requested amount will fund an estimated 25 -35 hours of professional service at a
rate of $100 - $150/hr.
The requested budget amount is consistent with that approved for the FY 2025/26 budget.

TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2027 BUDGET REQU!
Planning Services Line 10114-52031
$ 12,000 Requested
The Conservation Commission conducts a water quality monitoring program of freshwater streams
and ponds in Waterford. Samples are collected at 30 locations in the early summer and late fall of a
calendar year to track water quality over the growing season and monitor changes in quality over
time. Sampling is conducted on Jordan Brook, Nevins Brook, Fenger Brook, Hunts Brook, Stony
Brook, Oil Mill Brook and its tributaries, Millstone (Beebe) Brook, Green Swamp Brook and a
tributary stream to Goshen Cove. Water quality parameters monitored include total coliform, e.
coli and enterococci bacteria, temperature, pH, nitrogen compounds and phosphorus.
The surface water quality monitoring program has been conducted for the past 25 years by the
Conservation Commission and has generated comprehensive data on the quality of the town’s
water resources. This data is used to evaluate potential impacts of land development on stream
health and to track changes in water chemistry over time. It also provides a scientific basis for the
Conservation Commission to establish required levels of stormwater treatment for development
proposals, and water quality mitigation goals for enforcement proceedings.
Jordan Brook, Oil Mill Brook and Stony Brook support native trout and high quality waters. Habitat
requirements for these fisheries include cool, oxygenated waters with suitable substrate conditions
to provide food and aquatic habitat. Alteration of adjacent lands, loss of vegetative cover, soil
erosion, flow alterations, septic system discharges and stormwater run-off can adversely impact the
biological conditions of these watercourses. The monitored temperature, nitrogen and phosphorus
levels in these streams continue to indicate high quality surface waters,
The 2022 State of Connecticut Integrated Water Quality Report, submitted by CT DEEP to the EPA,
identifies Alewife Cove, Jordan Cove, and areas of Niantic Bay and the Niantic River as impaired
estuaries that do not fully support designated uses of habitat for fish and other aquatic wildlife.
Fenger Brook is listed as not supporting designated uses for aquatic life and recreation. The section
of Hunts Brook downstream of the Miller Pond dam is listed as not supporting fish and aquatic life
habitat. The lower reach of Stony Brook south of Route 1 is listed as impaired for recreational use
due to bacteria. The Commission continues to monitor water quality in the streams contributing to
these impaired waters
This long-term water quality monitoring is a critical part of the natural resource inventory work the
Commission conducts and allows tracking of trends in water quality from land use changes and
provides an indication of where water quality may be affected. Town staff conducts the sampling
to minimize costs. Expenses from this line item are linked to the number of water samples
collected. Due to extreme dry conditions in October & November 2024, stream sampling was not
conducted.
The requested budget amount is consistent with that approved in the previous fiscal year.

FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST
RTMENT: CONSERVATION COMMISSION
Dues, Conferences and Education Line 10114-52050
$ 600 Requested
Expenditures from this line item include membership dues, commission and staff training,
attendance at seminars and workshops. The Connecticut inland Wetlands and Watercourses
Act [CGS 22a-36 - 22a-45a] recommends members of inland wetland agency complete a
comprehensive training program developed by the CT DEEP. Commissioners also attend
environmental education conferences and legal seminars regarding inland wetlands to keep
informed of changes to State Statute or case law affecting application review practices, public
hearing records and decision-making for Inland Wetlands and Watercourse Regulations
application. The Commission satisfies the minimum required training recommended by CT
DEEP for inland wetlands agencies.
The Commission is requesting the same amount for this item as approved in the previous fiscal
year to maintain the level of training of its members and staff.
Printing Line 10114-52060
$ 25 Requested
Expenditures under this line item include printing of oversized documents, maps and colored
copies, which cannot be printed or are unavailable at Town facilities. The amount requested
under this line item is the same as approved in the previous fiscal year.
Other Supplies Line 10114-53020
$500 Requested
Funds in this account are used to purchase and maintain environmental testing/monitoring
equipment, safety equipment, survey flagging, and Conservation Easement and Non-
Encroachment Boundary Line markers for field markings. This equipment allows the
Conservation Commission with its professional staff to perform wetland identification, water
testing, natural resource inventory and conservation easement boundary marking that would
otherwise require contracting for outside professional services.
The amount requested under this line item is the same as approved in the previous fiscal year.

APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES
Motion; Made by T. Maidelis, seconded by W. Thomas to approve the October 23, 2025
meeting minutes.
Vote: 5-0-2 [I Plis & G. Renegar abstaining]
NEW APPLICATIONS —
C-25-15: 33 Kenyon Road; New Construction; Owner/Applicant - Congregation Beth-El,
Inc, of New London
Mike Ott, P.E, L.S., of Summer Hill Civil Engineers & Land Surveyors, P.C. presented the
application on behalf of the applicant. Kathleen McFadden and Ed Goldberg of
Congregation Beth El were also present. M. Ott reviewed the previously approved
application and plan from 2023, and highlighted the changes between the two plans, The new
proposed 3,700 sq. ft. building is located towards the front of the parcel, rather than the rear,
which reduces the length of the driveway. M. Ott explained the parking plan includes 36
paved parking spaces in the front and rear of the building, and an additional overflow parking
area consisting of 14 spaces of open graded crushed stone. The Commission questioned if
this would be enough parking spaces. E. Goldberg explained that based on attendance history
and the congregation members who do not drive, 50 spaces would be more than sufficient.
M. Ott added that this is an increase in parking spaces from the previously approved plan.
M, Ott explained that surface water runoff from all impervious areas is directed to the
stormwater infiltration basin. The basin was moved further upslope from the wetland, and
the basin bottom elevation raised. M, Ott noted that they will no longer be filling a portion of
the wetland area for construction of the basin. The driveway wetland crossing will be the
same as previously approved. The roof will be residential shingles.
‘The Commission raised a concern regarding the dumpster location. M. Ott stated that there
was no other feasible place for the dumpster. It will be on a concrete pad, graded to slope
towards the parking lot and will be in an enclosure.

‘The Commission reviewed the draft permit.
Motion: Made by W. Thomas, seconded by K. Kriet, to approve the draft permit C-25-14 as
written.
Vote: 7-0
5, VIOLATIONS —No violations discussed.
6. OTHER BUSINESS -
a) Request for determination of no regulated wetland activity - 18 Pember Road
Staff explained that because this parcel is a rear lot, the Planning & Zoning Commission
will require a report from the Conservation Commission. Staff recommended a finding
of no regulated inland wetland activity, due to the distance between the clearing limits
and wetland.
Motion: Made by K. Kriet, seconded by W. Thomas, to determine that the proposed
residential development at 18 Pember Road does not involve regulated wetland activity
based upon the distance between the limits of site clearing and grading activity and the
wetland resource.
7. CORRESPONDENCE -— No correspondence received,
8. ADJOURNMENT

LOOKING AHEAD
Capital Projects - Document Scanning
The Planning Department in partnership with the Building Department (the Departments) will be
undertaking a project to scan all Planning and Building related documents. It is estimated that there are
over 1 million documents including large maps of various sizes, letter, legal and 11X17 sized documents
between the two Departments. The Departments have consulted with several companies who specialize in
scanning and document management and have gotten estimates to scan their documents and create a
document management system. Documents will be stored in cloud based servers and will be available to
staff and the public through the town’s website. This project will reduce the amount of paper documents
that are stored in the Town Hall basement which will have the following benefits:
© Reducing the risk of loss due to fire or flooding
* Increasing government transparency through ease of access by the public
* Reduced staff time searching for paper files
This project has been submitted as a Capital Non-Recurring project for funding in FY-26/27.
Staffing
The Planning and Zoning Department is proposing to add a part time position of Economic Development
Community Liaison to its current staffing levels. The purpose of the position is to assist the Economic
Development Commission by performing tasks such as business recruitment and retention which may
include researching and implementing grant opportunities. This position will also support the Economic
Development Commission by providing an individual to assist the Commission in its initiatives and to
represent the Commission at meetings with regional, state and national Economic Development
Organizations. This will allow the Planning and Zoning staff to deliver the expected level of services to
Waterford residents and businesses and fulfill the duties of the Department.
