Notice of Scoping for New Milford Water Pollution Control Facility Municipality where proposed project would be located: New Milford Project Description: The proposed expansion and upgrade at the New Milford Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) is to address service area growth issues; potential water pollution problems due to poor soils, proximity to ledge, and small lot sizes; and the need to provide advanced wastewater treatment for nutrient removal. There are proposed and recent significant expansions of the sewer system. The new sewers address identified new development, with capacity for growth or expansion. The current New Milford WPCF was not designed to accept and treat the flows from the recent or proposed sewer expansions and does not have adequate capacity to do so without expansion. Expansion of the WPCF will accommodate existing needs, potential water pollution problems and projected growth consistent with the town’s plan of development. Upgrade of the WPCF will accommodate nitrogen removal as well as continued phosphorus removal. The WPCF project will result in improved plant efficiency and positive environmental benefits as a result of improved water quality to the Housatonic River and Long Island Sound.
