The wetland delineation was confirmed as accurate with no flag changes. The wetland is an Isolated Vegetated Wetland(IVW),jurisdictional under the local Bylaw only, and is primarily located on an abutting property. The project was designed to maintain the 50-foot NDZ and 75-foot NBZ to the Vernal Pool. Construction access, stockpiling, and dewatering areas are shown outside the 100-foot Buffer Zone. • Mr. Mustain asked about drainage near the stockpile area. Mr. Roseen stated the area is generally flat and erosion controls will be installed,with additional controls added if needed. • Mr. Mustain asked about pool drawdown and discharge. Mr. Roseen stated the infiltration trench includes a pop-up emitter outside the 75-foot Buffer Zone, and pool backwash and drawdown will be directed away from the wetland and allowed to infiltrate in a wooded area. The pool is proposed as a saltwater pool. • Ms. Valentino asked about fencing. Mr. Roseen confirmed the revised plan includes fencing around the pool. • Ms. Valentino recommended installation of markers along the wooded edge of the 50-foot NDZ. The Commission discussed spacing and agreed markers should be installed approximately every 30 feet, mounted low to the ground, and affixed to either posts or trees, as appropriate. This will be included as a condition in the Order. • Mr. McDonough raised concern regarding the existing lawn area located within the 50-foot NDZ and requested that area be allowed to revegetate naturally. The Applicant agreed. • The Administrator noted there is an outstanding 1978 Order of Conditions on the property for construction of the house and draining the wetland to elevation 100 that has not been closed out. The Applicant is working to submit a Certificate of Compliance request for that file. The Administrator recommended continuing the hearing to allow time for the Certificate of Compliance filing and review. • Ms. Valentino requested the Applicant coordinate with the Board of Health regarding abandonment of the existing septic system.
