RE: Thomas G. Faria Corporation
Inland Wetland Application Review
CLA5198A
Dear Ms. Be=son:
CLA has reviewed a cover letter dated February 10, 2014 and plans provided by AEI and
dated as revised to 2-10-14 and submitted as additional information for the referenced
application. These plans were revised in response to CLA's comment letter of February 3,
2014. The revised plans properly address the wetlands and E&S concerns of the February 3,
2014 letter. CLA notes two important aspects ofthe application.
1. The proposed retaining wall will need to be fully designed at a later date. This will
require conformance with Section 17.8 and other appropriate sections ofthe Montville
P&Z regulations. Should the location of the wall change or additional wetland
impacts be required, the applicant will have to take appropriate action with the IWC.
2. The site development requires extensive earthwork involving large areas of steep
slopes in close proximity of Oxoboxo Brook. Should the project go forward, extreme
care should be taken to actively manage E&S, anticipate storm events, and provide
additional E&S measures above and beyond that shown on the plans.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
~
