Municipality(ies) where proposed project might be located: Storrs, CT

Address(es) of Possible Project Location(s): See Project Maps

Project Description:

The Proposed Action is the construction of a new Less Than 90-Day Hazardous Waste Storage Facility (HWSF) and the decommissioning of the existing Less Than 90-Day HWSF at the University of Connecticut Main Campus in Storrs. The existing HWSF is located off Horsebarn Hill Road within the Willimantic Reservoir Watershed and near the Level A Aquifer Recharge Area for the Fenton River wellfield.  The University is proposing to decommission the existing facility and construct a new state-of-the-art facility in the northwest portion of campus.  Previously, a Siting Study was conducted in 2004 to determine suitable locations on campus for the new facility.  Further analysis of the recommended sites in the Siting Study has resulted in a new preferred site (site 7) for the facility located southeast of the landfill and immediately north of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
