4. Post-Scoping Notice for Naugatuck Valley Regional Wastewater Study

Municipalities where proposed project would be located: Ansonia, Derby, Seymour

CEPA Determination: On 11/5/2019 and continuing to 11/19/2019, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this proposed project in the Environmental Monitor.

No comments were received during the public comment period. 

Due to the complexity of this project and the multiple towns this project may serve, DEEP decided to proceed with the preparation of an Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE) following the November 2019 scoping notices, and plans to post the draft EIE in the October 5, 2021 edition of the Environmental Monitor.  Over the course of the phased study, it was determined that the recommendations from the study will affect only three of the five original towns involved in the first phase of the study.  Although DEEP did not adhere to the 6-month series of notifications updating the status of the preparation of the EIE as required by the Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA) regulations, this notice provides all of the necessary project information as required by CEPA regulations.
