Cleaning swales, removing brush, cutting Common Reed. 25 Bacon Road (Map 95, Lot 5) zoned I-1: A motion was made by Agent Maxellon and seconded by Agent Staples Determine that Hallmark does not need a permit to do the following work at their facility on 25 Bacon Road as it is considered maintenance to existing drainage facilities:

1/ To clear the excessive brush from the ditch on the west side of the truck drive by hand using power or hand saws/clippers, from the cross culvert at the base of the employee parking lot along side the building to the North end of the ditch where it begins to turn around the building.

2/ To clean (excavate) the catch basin pipe outlets, on either end of the cross pipe located in the south west corner of the main employee parking lot and to clean (excavate) the outlet of this cross pipe to its original elevations for a distance of no more than 20’ from the outlet. Associated brush in this area may also be cut back by hand as needed to perform this work. Any rip rap that is present is to be replaced to prevent erosion.

3/ Brush covering the swale to the south of the expanded employee parking lot may be cut back to open this swale up to facilitate maintenance and to clear the flow line. Pipe outlets in this area may be cleaned as needed.

4/ Common Reed may be mowed along the newly expanded parking lot and around to the outlet of the main roof and yard drainage outlet from the Eastern side of the facility (near where the employee parking lot splits off from the employee driveway).

5/ This above mentioned outlet, that drains the eastern side of the facility can also be cleaned out (excavated) from the outlet and down the swale no more than 20’ to its design depth. Any rip rap that is present is to be replaced to prevent erosion.

It is understood that the excavation portion of this work will be done at times of low flow and that the areas disturbed will be adequately stabilized after the work is complete. Vote was 6-0-0.
