Dear Mark & Paul:
As requested a field inspection was made on the above referenced site on
August 17th, 1999 to determine whether or not a grading permit would be
required for the work that is being proposed/done by the owners of the
above business.
When we arrived on the site, we drove down to the north central portion
of the site where it appeared as if a filling operation had been taking place
utilizing spoil from various construction jobs, including ballast from railroad
demolition, concrete, gravel, etc. The fill was approximately 4' in depth
and appeared to extend approximately 100'-125' north of what appeared
to be existing ground.
It was stated to us in the field by the owner of the property that this was
the extent of the filling that would be done. However, at the end of the fill
a 6' high berm would be placed to visually shield the recycle operation
going on in the interior of the site.
At this point, it appears as if the filling operation is completed, and all that
is left to be done is the grading work at the edge of the fill. I think to have
a grading permit at this point in time would be meaningless as it is after
the fact.
It appears that no natural drainage patterns have been blocked and/or
altered. However, in light of the existing vegetation, I would caution the
owner that there may be Federally Regulated Wetlands on or near the
filling operations.

I would recommend that you document the end of the existing fill as we
viewed it today, to insure that the berm that will be placed around the
edge of this fill will be done without extending the fill material.
I further recommend that once this is completed by the Applicant that he
prepare a final plan and present it to your office and possibly the Planning
Board for record purposes.
If there are any further question or comments, please do not hesitate to
contact this office.
Very truly yours,
