Old Saybrook Shore Line East Railroad Parking Lot Expansion
1. Post-Scoping Notice for Old Saybrook Shore Line East Railroad Parking Lot Expansion
Municipality where project will be located: Old Saybrook, CT
CEPA Determination: On November 22, 2011 the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this project in the Environmental Monitor. The CTDOT has received comments from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and from the Department of Public Health. Since this time, the magnitude of the project has decreased significantly. The current scope of the project includes acquiring only 3.6 acres of the original 12 acre property on which to put 200 parking spaces rather than the 812 spaces from the original scoping announcement.

The CTDOT has taken all comments into consideration and has concluded that the project does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Evaluation under CEPA. The agency's conclusion is documented in an Environmental Assessment Checklist and in a Memo of Findings and Determination.
