1. Post-Scoping Notice for Replacement of Atlantic St. MNRR Bridge

Municipality where project will be located: Stamford, CT

CEPA Determination:  On November 5, 2013 the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this project in the Environmental Monitor.  In addition, a Public Scoping Meeting took place on Tuesday November 19, 2013 at the Government Center in Stamford.  During the comment period CTDOT received comments from the Department of Public Health and the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.  Shortly after the close of the comment period, CTDOT received comments from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the Historic Neighborhood Preservation Program (HNPP). The CTDOT has taken those comments into consideration and after working closely with the City of Stamford, CT SHPO and the HNPP, CTDOT has concluded that the project does not require the preparation of Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE) under CEPA.

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

What happens next: The CTDOT expects the project to go forward. This is expected to be the final notice of the project to be published in the Environmental Monitor.
