The Office of Policy and Management (OPM) has approved revisions to the Generic Environmental Classification Document (ECD), in accordance with Section 22a-1a-5(e) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. The Generic ECD is the “filter” that most state agencies use to determine whether a proposed action triggers a review under the Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA). This Generic ECD supersedes the 1993 Generic ECD. The new Generic ECD can be located at www.ct.gov/opm/CEPA .
Connecticut General Statutes Section 4b-47 provides for public notice of proposed transfers of state-owned lands out of state ownership. The notice process takes place in steps. Step I is the notice of intent to transfer, which includes an opportunity for any person to comment. If comments are received, the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) will respond, and the comments and responses will be published as Step II.
The Commissioner of Environmental Protection may choose to evaluate the property more thoroughly and recommend preservation of the property or restrictions on the transfer. Step III is publication of the Commissioner's report and draft recommendations, and includes a 30-day public comment period. Step IV is publication of the Commissioner’s responses to any public comments along with the Commissioner's final recommendations regarding the property.
Step V is publication of OPM’s final determination regarding disposition of the property. Fifteen days after this posting the transfer may proceed.
IMPORTANT: Most proposed transfers are not required to go through all five steps. The land may be sold or transferred 15 days after the close of the comment period of Step I if no comments are received. If comments are received, and the DEP does not elect to conduct and publish a more thorough study of the property, the land may be sold or transferred 15 days after publication of the comments and responses under Step II.
The following Step I Notices are posted for review and comment in this edition.
