What is the status of the wetlands?
The wetlands within the project area will be protected and enhanced by the development with the exception of 0.29 acres of degraded wetlands within the building area. The Mansfield Inland Wetlands Agency approved a permit to fill these wetlands in October 2007. The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection subsequently approved the storm water management plan for Storrs Center and, in conjunction, on November 4, 2008, the US Army Corps of Engineers issued their approval for Storrs Center including the final authorization to fill the 0.29 wetlands.
