2. Notice of Time Extension for Post-Scoping Notice for Capitol Area System Central Plant Upgrades

Title: Capitol Area System (CAS) Central Plant Upgrades

Address of Possible Project Location: 490 Capitol Ave

Municipality where proposed action would be located: Hartford

Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA) Determination: On June 20, 2023, the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (DAS) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this action in the Environmental Monitor. The DAS is unable to publish its determination regarding this action at this time.

Action Status:  DAS is working with a consultant to identify potential options and costs, and to conduct additional analysis and address comments raised during scoping. Additional time is needed to complete that analysis and therefore CTDAS is unable to publish its determination at this time.

Estimated Publication Date: The DAS estimates that an additional update will be published in the Environmental Monitor on or before June 2024. 

If you have questions about the proposed action, contact:

What Happens Next: The DAS will make a determination whether to proceed with preparation of an Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE) or that the project does not require the preparation of an EIE under the CEPA. A Post-Scoping Notice of its decision will appear in a future edition of the Environmental Monitor.
