The proposed action is the construction of a new Hazardous Waste Storage Facility (HWSF) for the University of Connecticut at a site located west of, and adjacent to the University's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) off LeDoyt Road in the northwestern area of the Storrs Campus. The proposed action also involves the decommissioning of the existing HWSF located off Horsebarn Hill Rd. in the eastern portion of the Storrs Campus. The new HWSF would be a state-of-the-art facility designed in compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations and standards. An area of approximately 1/3 acre is needed for the new facility and supporting infrastructure. The preferred site is an area that was formerly the sand filter beds of the WWTP.

Municipalities where project is proposed: East Hampton, Haddam and East Haddam Address of Project Locations: Powerhouse Road and Echo Farm Road, East Haddam Project Description: The proposed project is construction of an ice control structure and sedimentation basin immediately upstream of the Leesville Dam on the Salmon River in East Hampton, Haddam and East Haddam. The project consists of a series of concrete piers and stone/concrete boulders spanning the main channel, a flow relief channel, and a sediment detention basin. The project will prevent masses of ice from passing over the Leesville Dam and forming a blockage at and downstream of the Route 151 bridge and will reduce the amount of sediment flowing into the lower Salmon River. Excavated material will be removed to a gravel pit within Echo Farm State Park. Construction will impact approximately 1/2 acre of wetlands, which will be mitigated by the improvement of a wetland of comparable size, also at Echo Farm State Park.
