Watercourses regulations to conduct the following activities:

linear feet of inland wetland along the north property boundary to provide for machine access to
the eastern upland on the property.
2.

accessing non-wetland soil on the eastern portion of the property to conduct soil test pits for on-
site septic system suitability analysis.
3. 
Excavation of soil test holes within the upland review area for purposes of evaluating on-site soil
suitability to support a residential septic system.
The location of the access path is depicted the attached plan submitted by John Huhn, applicant,

The Conservation Commission has reviewed the application materials and attaches the following
conditions to minimize impacts associated with the regulated activity and protect the inland wetlands and

No excavation of soil or placement of fill within inland wetlands and watercourses is herein

3. 
The limit and extent of vegetation cutting and clearing within the wetland and adjacent upland
review area shall be approved on site by the Commission’s agent at the time the regulated activity

5. 
Results of the soil test pit evaluation shall be submitted to the Conservation Commission or its
agent.
All work and all regulated activities conducted pursuant to this authorization shall be consistent with the
terms and conditions of this permit. Any other construction, 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 facility, the Waterford Conservation Commission reserves the
right to reconsider the regulated activities associated with the proposal and may require modifications to
minimize impacts to wetland and watercourse 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 is issued for a period of 5 years, subject to extension in accordance with CT State Statutes. If
the regulated activity is not completed within this time frame, the permit may be held to be invalid by the
Commission and 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 constitutes a temporary disturbance to inland wetlands.
B. Strict adherence to the terms and conditions imposed with this permit will protect the quality of
wetlands and surface waters 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.
