RE: 
Report of Conservation Commission Action:
Inland Wetland Permit #C-25-06 — 51 Daniels Avenue
Commissioners,
The Waterford Conservation Commission granted inland wetland permit #C-25-06 for regulated inland
wetland activities associated with the construction of a new school facility on land located at 51 Daniels
Avenue, Waterford, CT. The permit was granted with conditions on June 12, 2025. A copy of the permit
is attached.
Authorized regulated activities include:
* 
Construction of an 87,500 sq. ft. school facility with associated access driveway and parking
areas upland of inland wetland resources.
= 
Disturbance of 1,000 sq. ft. of upland review area for construction of a sidewalk west of the off-
site wetland area #2.
e 
Discharge of treated stormwater run-off to inland wetlands and watercourses.
The activities are shown on site plans entitled; “LEARN — Early Childhood School, 51 Daniels Avenue,
Waterford, Connecticut” dated 05/01/2025, prepared by Langan Engineering & Environmental Services,
Inc.
A condition of permit approval requires the final plan set to incorporate the revised plan sheets CG101,
CG102 and CE101 as presented to the Conservation Commission on 5/22/2025. These plan changes
reflect the relocation of the southwest stormwater discharge outlet to reduce the potential for soil erosion
and sediment impacts to the off-site receiving wetland area, and revised grading at the spillway outlet for
the stormwater basin.
Respectfully;
Maureen FitzGerald
Environmental Planner

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 te-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 proposed activity does not involve direct impacts to wetlands or watercourses
and maintains vegetated uplands upgradient of wetland resoutces.
B. The activity has been found to not affect the capacity of the wetland resources to
support wildlife habitat, perform groundwater discharge/recharge functions, and
to support sediment/toxicant/nutrient removal functions.
C.. Short-term potential impacts to wetlands are minimized through implementation
of a detailed erosion and sediment control plan. Potential long-term impacts to
wetlands are mitigated with a stormwater detention/infiltration system to control
water quality impacts, maintain groundwater recharge and detain peak flows.
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 of 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 tequire the applicant to restore the area to its original condition.
