1. Post-Scoping Notice for Greater Waterbury Bus Storage and Maintenance Facility

Municipality where project will be located: Watertown, CT

CEPA Determination:  On March 18, 2014 the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this project in the Environmental Monitor.  A revised Notice of Scoping was placed in the Environmental Monitor on April 8, 2014.  The notice was revised to inform the public of a scheduled Public Information Meeting and to extend the public comment period.  Comments were received from the Department of Public Health and the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.  The CTDOT has taken those comments into consideration and has concluded that the project does not require the preparation of Environmental Impact Evaluation under CEPA. This project was previously reviewed under CEPA and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was issued in 1999.  A hardcopy of the FONSI can be viewed in person at the CTDOT's Office of Environmental Planning. 

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