2. EIE Notice for Marlborough Sanitary Sewers

Municipalities where project is proposed:  Marlborough and East Hampton

Project Description: The project involves the construction of sanitary sewers in the area immediately surrounding Lake Terramuggus, the Marlborough town center to the west of the junction of Routes 66 and 2, and the Marlborough Commons area to the east of Route 2. This project will eliminate the contamination of Lake Terramuggus and groundwater in the area due to sewage discharges from failing septic systems. Wastewater from the proposed service area will be collected by low-pressure sewer and force main. Capacity in the lake area will be sized to accommodate existing development, with minimal capacity for growth or expansion. Capacity in the town center will be sized to accommodate existing needs and projected growth, consistent with the town’s plan of development. Wastewater will be conveyed to East Hampton for treatment and disposal. The East Hampton Water Pollution Control Facility was designed to accept and treat flows from Marlborough and has adequate capacity to do so, without need for expansion.
