1. Post-Scoping Notice for Reconstruction of Old Farms Road

Municipality where project will be located: Avon, Connecticut

CEPA Determination:  The Town's primary objective of the relocation of Old Farms Road was to provide an alignment south of the current location which will effect transportation improvements, and also serve economic development considerations consistent with the Town of Avon's approved Plan of Conservation and Development. On November 22, 2011 the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this project in the Environmental Monitor.  Comments were received from the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, the Department of Public Health, and the Office of Policy and Management. These comments were forwarded to the Town of Avon at that time.  These comments were taken into consideration, and discussions with the Town of Avon and the Federal Highway Administration have taken place to improve on the project scope since the conclusion of the scoping process.     

Currently, however, there is no future State or Federal funding programmed for the design and/or construction phases of this proposal, and CTDOT is no longer involved in this project.  Since this is not a State project, no further documentation under CEPA is required.  Any future transportation improvements located in this area involving CTDOT action and/or funding will require an updated environmental analysis and potential scoping at that time.  CTDOT's conclusion, as stated above, can be found in the Memo of Findings and Determination.
