1. Notice of EIE for Middletown Water Pollution Control Facility Abandonment

Municipalities where project is proposed: Middletown & Cromwell

Project Description: This project will eliminate the Middletown Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) through the construction of a pump station and sewers to convey the wastewater to the Mattabassett District WPCF in Cromwell for treatment and discharge to the Connecticut River.  The new pump station will be located at the Route 9/17 interchange, the site of an existing pump station.  The most environmentally sound, cost-effective routing for conveyance of the wastewater was found to be from the pump station northerlyalong DeKoven Drive to the Route 9/railroad line transportation corridor and then northerly along the western edge of the transportation corridor to the Mattabassett WPCF.
