CEPA Determination: On July 7, 2020, the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this proposed project in the Environmental Monitor.

A virtual public scoping meeting was held on July 22, 2020

Various comments were received during the public comment period and at the virtual Public Scoping Meeting.  In addition to comments from the public, CTDOT received comments from the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP) and the CT Department of Public Health (CTDPH).
