Municipalities where project will be located: Hartford and East Hartford
CEPA Determination: On August 18, 2015 the Connecticut Department of Transportation (Department) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this project in the Environmental Monitor. During the scoping period, the Department received comments from the Department of Public Health the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, the Office of Policy and Management, and one member of the public. The Department has taken those comments into consideration and has concluded that the project does not require the preparation of Environmental Impact Evaluation under CEPA.
In addition to requirements under CEPA, an Environmental Assessment was performed under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to determine the proper level of Federal environmental documentation. After concluding this process, the Department will be seeking a Finding of No Significant Impact under NEPA since the project is not expected to have any associated significant environmental impacts.
The agency's conclusion is documented in a Memo of Findings and Determination and Environmental Assessment Checklist.
