1. Cancellation of Notice of Connecticut State Police Training Facility Relocation

Municipality where proposed project might be located:  Glastonbury

Address of Possible Project Location: Easterly end point of Toll Gate Road

Project History: The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP), Division of State Police (CSP) originally proposed to relocate its existing Firearms Training Facility and Program located on Nod Road in Simsbury to a site in Glastonbury. The proposed site was generally situated along Route 2 adjacent to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s (DEEP) Public Shooting Range, located within the Meshomasic State Forest. The exact parcel configuration and project layout was to be determined during design had the project proceeded.

Comments were received during the public comment period.

Agency Determination: The DESPP, CSP has determined it is not feasible to undertake the project as described the last time a notice appeared in the Environmental Monitor on May 7, 2013 because of issues unrelated to the environmental review requirements of the Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA).
