IWWC staff reports: piezometer installation, erosion repairs and 500 pounds of plastic recycled
Summary
Staff told the Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Commission the department installed piezometers at Westbrook Outlets, completed erosion repairs at 260 Wrights Pond Road, addressed a beaver complaint and reported collecting 500 pounds of plastic since April for recycling into furniture; the commission had no substantive follow-up actions recorded.
At the July 7 meeting of the Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Commission, Environmental Planner Heidi Wallace delivered a staff report listing operational updates and recent projects.
Wallace reported that staff set up an Earth Day information table in the Mulvey Lobby and installed a sign at 2046 Boston Post Road. The commission noted that it had received the Sustainable Connecticut Bronze Achievement Award. Erosion-control measures at 260 Wrights Pond Road had been repaired and reinstalled, and the office received a homeowner letter about beaver activity affecting a neighbor's property at 921 East Pond Meadow Road.
Wallace also reported installation of piezometers at Westbrook Outlets to support groundwater/soil monitoring, and that the plastic-collection program had gathered roughly 500 pounds of plastic since April for recycling into plastic furniture. The minutes record no motions or votes tied to these staff updates; commissioners requested Heidi Wallace update the fee status for administrative signoffs at the next meeting.
Ending: The staff report provided operational and monitoring updates; the minutes include no scheduled site inspections or action items beyond an administrative follow-up on signoff fees.
