"Scoping" is for projects in the earliest stages of planning. At the scoping stage, detailed information on a project's design, alternatives, and environmental impacts does not yet exist. Sponsoring agencies are asking for comments from other agencies and from the public as to the scope of alternatives and environmental impacts that should be considered for further study. Send your comments to the contact person listed for the project by the date indicated.
1. Notice of Scoping for Chestnut Ridge Storage Tank
Municipality where proposed project might be located: Bethel
Address of Possible Project Location: Between 27 Long Meadow Lane and 22 Briar Cliff Manor
Project Description: The Town of Bethel proposes to construct a new 500,000 gallon concrete water storage tank. The proposed tank will be 65-feet in diameter with an approximate height of 21-feet above grade. An electrical and instrumentation enclosure will also be located near the tank. This project supports Bethel's long term plan to replace its existing surface water supplies and treatment plants with ground water supplies by increasing the Town's overall storage capacity as indicated in Town's Water Supply Plan. The Chestnut Ridge Storage Tank will provide the needed additional emergency and fire protection storage, redundancy and backup to the Eureka Lake Water Storage Tank.

This category is required by the October 2010 revision of the Generic Environmental Classification Document for State Agencies. A notice is published here if the sponsoring agency, after publication of a scoping notice and consideration of comments received, has determined that an Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE) does not need to be prepared for the proposed project.
1. Post-Scoping Notice for Intersection Improvements on Route 34 at SR 490 (Wasserman Way) and Toddy Hill Road and SR 490 at I-84 Interchange 11 ramps.
Municipality where project will be located: Newtown
CEPA Determination: On April 19, 2016 the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this project in the Environmental Monitor. During the scoping period, CTDOT received comments from the Office of Policy and Management (OPM), the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP), and the Department of Public Health (DPH) Drinking Water Section. CTDOT has taken all comments into consideration and has concluded that the project does not require the preparation of Environmental Impact Evaluation under CEPA.
The agency's conclusion is documented in a Memo of Findings and Determination and Environmental Assessment Checklist.
If you have questions about the project, you can contact the agency at:
Name: Kevin Fleming, Transportation Planner II
Agency: Connecticut Department of Transportation, Office of Environmental Planning
Address: 2800 Berlin Turnpike, Newington, CT 06131
Phone: (860) 594-2924
E-Mail: Kevin.Fleming@ct.gov
What happens next: The CTDOT expects the project to go forward. This is expected to be the final notice of the project to be published in the Environmental Monitor.
After Scoping, an agency that wishes to undertake an action that could significantly affect the environment must produce, for public review and comment, a detailed written evaluation of the expected environmental impacts. This is called an Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE).
1. Final Environmental Assessment (EA) for Approval of the Connecticut Training Center Real Property Master Plan of the Connecticut Army National Guard
Municipalities where proposed project might be located: East Lyme, Lyme, Old Lyme, and East Haven
Address of Possible Project Location: Stones Ranch Military Reservation, 10 Stone Ranch Road, East Lyme, CT 06333; Camp Niantic, 38 Smith Street, Niantic, CT 06357; East Haven Rifle Range, 591 N. High Street, East Haven, CT 06512
Project Description: The Connecticut Military Department/Connecticut Army National Guard (CTARNG) proposes to approve a new Real Property Master Plan (RPMP) for the Connecticut Training Center (CTC) consistent with the requirements of the US Department of Defense (DoD) Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 2-100-01, Installation Master Planning, which provides guidance for developing RPMPs for DoD installations. The Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluates the potential environmental, cultural, and socioeconomic effects of approving the UFC 2-100-01-compliant RPMP. The CTC comprises three noncontiguous installations: Stones Ranch Military Reservation, Camp Niantic, and East Haven Rifle Range. The RPMP is needed to comply with DoD Master Planning policy as well as to guide the CTARNG through the long-term development of the CTC in a clear, sustainable manner that supports the installations’ military missions. The Proposed Action would provide an updated master plan to guide the CTARNG’s mission at the CTC for the next 20 years using the latest techniques in planning.
