Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA) Determination: On November 22, 2022, the CT Department of Public Health (CT DPH) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this proposed project in the Environmental Monitor.

Comments were received from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and a Member of the Public during the comment period. Comments and responses are included as a hyperlink in the Environmental Review Checklist.
 
After consideration of the comments received, the Department of Public Health has determined that the project is not one that may significantly affect the environment and therefore, it does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE) under CEPA. The Department’s conclusion is documented in an Environmental Review Checklist and Memorandum of Findings.
