Scoping Notices
1. Notice of Scoping for Abandonment of Middletown Wastewater Treatment Facility
Municipalities where proposed project would be located: Middletown and Cromwell
Project Description: As a result of a feasibility study conducted in 1999 by the City of Middletown, which focused on various means to collect, convey and treat wastewater for Middletown, the City will evaluate alternatives to convey wastewater to the Mattabassett District Wastewater Treatment Plant in Cromwell and abandon its existing treatment system on River Road. In order to abandon the treatment facility in Middletown, a conveyance system will need to be constructed from River Road in Middletown to the Mattabassett plant. The proposed conveyance system would consist of a pumping station on River Road, gravity sewers to the new pumping station, ductile iron force main along the CT Route 9/Providence and Worcester Railroad corridor between the Middletown and Mattabassett treatment facilities, and connection of the new force main to the Mattabassett plant.

2. Notice of Scoping for Chester Wastewater Planning Study
Municipality where proposed project would be located: Chester
Address of Possible Project Location(s): "Village area" of Chester
Project Description: A study of the most suitable means to meet the wastewater disposal needs in the central portion of the town of Chester, commonly refered to as the "village area", and its proximal areas. The village area has a long history of water pollution problems from on-going wastewater disposal systems. Also, the community subsurface system located off Maple Street that services the village area is not adequate to meet future needs. These historic problems in the village area are a result of population density, small lot sizes, high groundwater and poor soils. The study will evaluate the existing community subsurface disposal system for rehabilitation or expansion, and explore connecting to the existing Town of Deep River's collection system as an alternative for treatment and disposal. The study area includes the existing village area and an proposed sewer route to Deep River's collection system.

Three Rivers Community College: 7 Mahan Drive (Mohegan Campus) and 574 New London Turnpike (Thames Valley Campus), Norwich
Norwich Regional Vocational Technical School: 590 New London Turnpike, Norwich
Project Description:
The proposed project is comprised of two actions, the consolidation of the Three Rivers Community College (TRCC) and the relocation of the Norwich Regional Vocational Technical School (NRVTS) in Norwich, Connecticut. Currently, the TRCC is comprised of two separate campuses located in Norwich -- the Mohegan Campus and the Thames Valley Campus. Part of the proposed project would be to relocate all of the TRCC to the Thames Valley Campus. The other part of the proposed project would be to relocate all of the NRVTS from the Thames Valley Campus to the Mohegan Campus.
The existing 42-acre Mohegan Campus site is situated south of Ox Hill Road, west of Mahan Drive, east of Harland Road, and abuts the Thomas Kelly Junior High School to the south.
The existing Thames Valley Campus is situated on approximately 156-acres of state-owned property. In addition to the TRCC, this property also contains the NRVTS and the Uncas on the Thames Hospital. Approximately 53 acres of the total site could be affected by this proposed action.
New development and site improvements are proposed to meet the programmatic needs of both the TRCC and the NRVTS at their respective locations.
The Board of Trustees of Community-Technical Colleges is considered the CEPA Sponsoring Agency and the Department of Education, along with the Department of Public Works, are considered the CEPA Participating Agencies for this CEPA project.
