2. Notice of Scoping for Old Saybrook Decentralized Wastewater Management Systems
Municipality where proposed project would be located: Old Saybrook
Project Description: : Previous wastewater studies have identified a number of areas of environmental concern within the town due to inadequate wastewater treatment and disposal. (Click here to see map of study areas.) Factors limiting proper onsite wastewater disposal within these areas include poor soils, high groundwater and small lot sizes. The proposal to address these issues is to implement a decentralized wastewater management plan. This plan includes the construction of sanitary sewers to serve the Chalker Beach, Indiantown and Saybrook Manor study areas. Sewer and treatment system capacity will be sized to accommodate existing development, with minimal capacity for growth or expansion. Wastewater will be conveyed to an inland site for treatment and disposal into a subsurface effluent disposal system. Other study areas are proposed to be addressed by a combination of mandatory septic system improvements or installation of alternative treatment technologies, the management of which would be the responsibility of the water pollution control authority. Properties in these areas will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Written comments from the public are welcomed and will be accepted until the close of business on: July 11, 2003

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
