2. Notice of Scoping for Rentschler Field Infrastructure Improvements
Municipality where proposed project might be located: East Hartford
Address of Possible Project Location: Rentschler Field
Project Description: An Environmental Impact Evaluation under CEPA and an Environmental Assessment under NEPA will be prepared for two proposed State actions. The first State action is the construction of a new access roadway and grade-separated Roberts Street/Silver Lane intersection in the Town of East Hartford. The purpose of the proposed action is to improve vehicular access to and from the existing United Technologies Corporation (UTC) property and the proposed new development of the former Rentschler Field. The Master Plan for the development of Rentschler Field consists of a mix of uses including research and development, educational, retail, entertainment, housing and open space use facilities totaling approximately eight million square feet.
Located within the same geographical setting, the second State action is the construction of a roadway and associated utilities to access the proposed East Hartford-Glastonbury Elementary Magnet School. The preferred access would begin immediately south of the Roberts Street/Silver Lane intersection and would terminate at the proposed magnet school site immediately west of the existing East Hartford High School and International Baccalaureate Academy.
This EIE/EA will address the direct impacts of the state actions described above as well as secondary and cumulative impacts to the natural and man-made environment associated with the proposed Rentschler Field development. A portion of the former Rentschler Field is inhabited by state-listed rare, threatened and endangered species. Impact to, and mitigation for, these species will be addressed in the EIE.
