Why now?
Faria is a world class manufacturer competing globally for contracts against larger competitors.
Faria’s clients expect state-of-the-art facilities, clean and updated operations.
With partial funding by DECD, Faria has gained market share by purchasing a competitor from New Hampshire. Most of these operations and jobs will be relocating the Uncasville facility.
Redevelopment of the southern half of the property allows for expansion and provides for a flagship building and facilities for future growth.

Regulated Activities 1&2
Assessment shows low functionality of wetlands to be filled. The portion of wetlands to be filled are likely man-made remnants from adjacent road and/or sanitary sewer installation
work.
Creation of a stormwater wetland with native vegetation will improve species diversity.

Offsite stormwater drainage accounts for 75% of flow to the Oxoboxo brook from this area.
Pre-treated through a 10 acre watershed and wetland system before entering the property.
Treat water from onsite development (vegetated filter, cisterns, green roof, native planting in swale)
Regulated Activity 6
Clear trees and prepare area for outdoor rest and viewing area.
Remove overgrowth and improve aesthetics of the area.

Regulated Activity 7
Drainage from Offsite across from Faria Lane will be channelized into a 36 inch RCP and slowed down prior to discharge to the Oxoboxo Brook.
Currently, when the swale is not overflowing into the TGF parking lot, water flows into the drainage system crossing Pink Row, before it eventually is diverted back to the TGF property.
