Hi Stacy,
Sorry for the late reply here.
It is my professional opinion based on a review of the proposed activities and the Town of Montville’s
definition of a “Significant Activity” that the relocation of the Sharp Hill Drainage which will require filling a
man-made intermittent watercourse is a significant activity, as the proposal is significantly changing the
dynamics of the watercourse, albeit one that is man-made. It should be acknowledged that while the
proposed activity is significant in the fact it will be relocating a man-made watercourse and will result in the
permanent filling of a watercourse it likely will not have a major effect or negative impact due to the nature of
the subject feature and the inclusion of design features which will replace and/or has the opportunity to
enhance the existing functions of the watercourse slated to be relocated. As regards to if a public hearing
should be considered I would suggest unless there is a strong public interest the application is complete and
the Commission has the necessary information to make a ruling of significance and potentially determination
if they feel the applicant has adequately addressed all concerns.
Thank you, - Ian Cole

Good Afternoon John:
Our office is in receipt of an IWC Application for a trailer storage facility with regulated activities within
the wetlands and URA. Below is a link to all of the meeting documents which were submitted. Kindly
have your Soil Scientist provide a review of this Application, including his opinion concerning the
possibility of a “significant activity”, for the purposes of determining if a Public Hearing will be required.
