B
Okay,
this
is
the
january
13
2021
meeting
of
the
inland
wetland
agency
david
scott,
is
the
chair.
It
is
staffed
tonight
by
bruce
lofgren,
linda
galletta
and
me
deb
jones
for
folks
who
are
attending
members
of
the
public.
If
you
to
the
commission,
you
need
to
do
that
under
public
communications
and
in
order
to
be
recognized,
you
need
to
raise
your
virtual
hand.
A
E
D
C
F
Yeah,
this
is
a
new
application.
This
is
bruce
lofgren
from
the
office
of
planning
development
services.
This
is
a
new
application
that
just
came
in.
It
hasn't
yet
gone
through
staff
review.
Yet
or
so
we
don't
really
have
too
many
comments
on
it,
but
it
does
look
like
we
have
the
applicants
here
if
you'd
like
to
have
them
talk
and
go
over
what
they're
posing
a
little
bit.
Yes,
please
we
can.
We
can
allow
them
to
talk
if
they'd
like
to.
F
D
F
G
Yeah,
okay,
so
they've
been
having
some
issues
with
the
the
leech
field
and
we
were
going
to
do
a
repair
on
that,
but
they
had
been
wanting
to
do
an
addition
as
well.
So
everybody
decided
that
it
would
be
best
if
they
could
get
a
bigger
tank,
and
this
system
is
pretty
old
anyway
and
since
we're
gonna
have
a
machine
over
there
that
if
they
could
do
everything
at
once,
that
would
be
best
for
for
everybody.
So
that
was
so
that's
kind
of
what's
going
on
in
it.
In
a
nutshell,
over
there.
G
G
But
it's
it's
not
working
that
great,
like,
even
even
with
this
last
snow
and
rainstorm
he
they.
They
had
said
that
they
were
smelling
septic
and
which
had
only
happened
once
before.
But
it's
starting
to
go
happen
again.
So
the
the
other,
the
proposed
tank
is
downhill
a
little
bit
and
you
can
see
the
the
field
go
heads
back
toward
the
the
wetland
area
in
question.
It's
a
small
section
that
we
had
we've
had
we
had
flagged
or
delineated.
D
B
D
G
F
F
A
G
Well,
I
I
actually
didn't
choose
the
location
we
had.
We
had
ledge
light
come
over
and
we
dug.
We
dug
two
or
three
test
holes,
and
then
I
we
also
had
a
septic
engineer
and
between
between
those
two.
They
chose
the
location
like
we.
We
actually
talked
about
that
that
forward
location,
but
I'm
drawing
a
blank
on
her
name
right
now
from
wendy,
I
believe
from
legend.
She
didn't
like
that
set
up,
so
she
thought
it
was
best
that
we
go
in
the
area
that
we
have.
It.
D
D
G
Like
the
the
the
one
that
goes
toward
the
road
is
it's
hard
to
tell
on
here,
but
it
almost
like
the
natural
grade
is
kind
of
an
like
an
uphill
situation,
which
seems
a
little
strange,
but
it
it
never
got
filled,
but
that's
just
how
it
how
it
was
or
whenever
they
did
it
40
years
ago.
The
grade
is
untouched.
It's,
but
it's
tight
for
the
for
the
size
of
the
tank,
but
I
I
wish
I
had.
I
wish
I
had
the
engineer
who
could
definitely
explain
this
a
ton
better
than
I
can.
G
D
G
A
F
A
And
as
I
look
at
those
those
are
only
two
foot
contours.
So
really,
if
you
just
took
that
wrecked
that
skinny
rectangle,
you
could
kind
of
squeeze
it
in
there
between
126
and
128
and
because
you're,
squeezing
it
between
120
and
122..
So
I
don't
know.
I
need
to
have
a
strong
case.
Why
that
couldn't
be
moved
really
far
forward.
A
C
F
D
F
G
Meeting
I've
been
having
a
little
bit
of
difficulty
having
ledge
light,
get
back
to
me.
They're,
usually
a
lot
quicker,
but
it's
I.
I
think
I
sent
them
the
same
plan
over
a
month
ago
and
I
and
I
I
made
a
bunch
of
phone
calls
and
I
can't
nobody's
returning
my
call
not
that
I
can
control
that
really,
but
that's
kind
of
what's
going
on,
maybe
they're
busy
with
all
the
covet
stuff.
I
don't
know
have
you
guys
found
that
to
be
the
case
lately
or
no.
G
A
G
B
H
H
H
Okay,
so
this
this
application,
as
deborah
said,
is
for
the
installation
of
monitoring
wells
on
the
mlot
parcel,
which
we
we
found
out
actually
straddles
both
the
town
and
the
city
borders.
The
the
portion
of
the
property
in
which
we
want
to
install
wells
that
is
located
within
the
town
property
is
the
portion
of
long
paquanic
road
itself.
It's
a
it's
a
lightly
wooded
area,
just
west
of
the
substation
between
the
entrance
of
mla
and
the
substation
itself.
Do
you
have
the
plans
to.
H
H
H
H
So
those
wells
are
to
assist
with
the
ongoing
investigation
of
groundwater
associated
with
the
former
r
d
facility.
We
do
have
a
few
wells
on
m
lot
already,
as
well
as
the
main
r
d
plant
facility.
However,
we
need
to
delineate
side
gradient
and
a
little
bit
down
gradient
of
that
mw15
series
wells.
That's
located
right
on
the
southeastern
corner
of
the
r
d
facility,
so
we're
proposing
to
install
two
sets
of
wells
two
at
the
at
one
location
into
another.
These
are
overburdened,
so
shallow
intersecting.
H
H
And
so
that's
that's
our
project.
We
don't
suspect
to
have
any
clearing
wood,
wood,
clearing
or
anything
of
that
nature,
although
I
was
driving
by
the
facility
just
the
other
day,
and
I
did
see
a
lot
of
wooded
clearing
had
gone
on.
I
think
kind
of
in
support
of
probably
some
getting
some
larger
trees
away
from
the
power
lines
which
do
run
right
along
the
south
side
of
aquatic
road
as
well.
H
H
H
H
What
we've
seen
is
that
groundwater
flows
generally
to
birch
plain
creek,
so
there's
not
a
plume
per
se,
but
we
do
want
to
delineate
the
lateral
extents
if
there
is
one
and
that's
the
purpose
of
these
wells
here,
to
confirm
that
groundwater
migration
is
is
heading
towards
birch,
plain
creek
and
not
more
parallel
with
the
with
the
road
we
do.
We
do
feel
that
that
groundwater
is
heading
towards
birch,
plain
creek
and
discharging
as
it
as
groundwater
generally
does
to
the
nearest
surface
water
body,
which
is
the
the
creek
here.
C
C
E
H
H
H
We
have
concentrations
that
are
well
below
the
surface
water
protection
criteria,
which
is
the
one
of
the
main
drivers
for
this
site,
but
but
they
are
above
the
the
vitalization
criteria,
the
dep's
volatilization
criteria.
So
we're
trying
to
confirm
the
extent
of
that
plume
with
regard
to
vitalization
criteria.
B
C
B
D
D
A
E
F
Yeah,
that's
correct,
yeah,
we're
still
waiting
on
revisions.
I
think
he,
the
applicant's,
still
determining
what
they
want
to
do
with
it.
I've
heard
they
thinking
about
subdivision,
it
seems
like
it
seems
like
the
plan
is
not
fully
fully
adopted
yet
so
I
will
it's
kind
of
a
wait
and
see
if
they
are
running
up
on
the
end
of
their
extensions,
I
think,
probably
in
march.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
going
to
you
know
have
to
be
withdrawn
or
we're
going
to
have
some
resolution
or
something
act
on
by
then.
F
D
A
F
Yeah,
we
did
put
a
deadline
on
it
for
them
to
submit
an
application,
they
did
put
in
a
silk
fence
and
some
hay
bales
down
there.
But
you
make
a
good
point
that
you
know
you
should
probably
we
should
probably
reach
out
again
and
let
them
know
they
need
to
start
stabilizing
that
slope.
Sooner
than
later,.
B
B
C
C
A
B
D
B
A
C
C
E
B
B
I
don't
just
note
that
there
was
a
committee
of
chairperson's
meeting
this
week
on
monday,
where
the
mystic
education
center
very,
very
draft
master
plan,
was
presented.
There
will
be
some
wetland
permitting
associated
with
it
once
we
get
to
that
point
right
now.
The
planning
and
zoning
commission
is
working
on
some
draft
regulations
to
allow
the
redevelopment
of
this
parcel.
