AND
Osborn Expansion at the Osborn Correctional Institution Draft EIE
Municipalities where project is proposed: Enfield and Somers, CT
Project Description:
As required by CEPA, an Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE)was
prepared in December, 2002 to address the impacts of a proposed 720-bed
expansion at the Osborn Correctional Institution (CI) in Somers, CT. As
part of the Draft EIE, existing water and sewer utilities was evaluated.
The review of this information revealed a large discrepancy in the
amount of water being consumed and the amount of sewage being discharged
from the Enfield-Somers CI Complex.
In order to shed light on this discrepancy, a short-term sewage flow
monitoring effort in September-October, 2002 (3 weeks)and again in
October-November (1-week) at a manhole immediately west of the Town of
Enfield metering station on Shaker Road. Results of this monitoring
revealed sewage flows of approximately 1 million gallons/day. This
figure does not comport with any of the water or sewage metering data.
At the Public Hearing on the Draft EIE in January, 2002, The Connecticut
Department of Correction (DOC) stated that a comprehensive water and
sewer study would need to be conducted in order to reconcile these
discrepancies and serve as the basis for remedial actions that may be
required. It was stated that the results of this study would be
presented at another Public Hearing.
This Water and Sewage Flow Monitoring Study as well as the December 2002
Draft EIE are now available for public review and comment.
Comments on this EIE will be accepted until the close of business on: August 21, 2003
