Rehabilitation of the Pucker Street Bridge


1. Post-Scoping Notice for the Rehabilitation of the Pucker Street Bridge over the Hop River

Municipalities where project will be located: Coventry & Columbia


CEPA Determination:  On June 19, 2012 the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this project in the Environmental Monitor.  OPM was originally requested to administer this project as a Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP) grant and began the scoping process.  However, this project is now being administered by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), so all CEPA compliance and the responsibility for the post scoping notice transferred to CTDOT. Comments were received by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection  and the Connecticut Department of Public Health.   CTDOT has taken all comments received into consideration and has concluded that the project does not require the preparation of Environmental Impact Evaluation under CEPA.

The agency's conclusion is documented in a Memo of Findings and Determination and Environmental Assessment Checklist.
