"Scoping" is for projects in the earliest stages of planning. At the scoping stage, detailed information on a project's design, alternatives, and environmental impacts does not yet exist. Sponsoring agencies are asking for comments from other agencies and from the public as to the scope of alternatives and environmental impacts that should be considered for further study. Send your comments to the contact person listed for the project by the date indicated.
1. Notice of Scoping for Mohegan Park Water Tank - Design Phase
Municipality where proposed project might be located: Norwich
Address of Possible Project Location: The tank will be constructed in and around Mohegan Park in Norwich in the vicinity of Judd Street and adjacent to the existing tank on land owned by the City of Norwich.
Project Description: The proposed project will construct a new 2.0 million gallon (MG) concrete tank to replace the existing 5.0 MG steel Mohegan tank and also lower the system pressure to customers in the Norwich Public Utilities (NPU) Low Pressure Zone. A Capital Efficiency Plan™ and a System Gradient Study were competed by Tata and Howard, Inc. to evaluate options to improve the distribution system and water quality and provide adequate fire flow protection. The System Gradient Study found that in addition to being located at too low of an elevation, the existing 5.0 MG tank volume was larger than necessary for future maximum day equalization and fire flow needs.
The new 2.0 MG of storage would be constructed with an overflow elevation of approximately 292 USGS. In conjunction with the project, the pressure gradient of the NPU Low Service Zone will be reduced, as it is currently too high. The change in system gradient to the NPU Low Service Zone will aid in significantly improving the water quality to the distribution system. The new water storage tank will also provide adequate storage for fire protection.

After Scoping, an agency that wishes to undertake an action that could significantly affect the environment must produce, for public review and comment, a detailed written evaluation of the expected environmental impacts. This is called an Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE).
1. Notice of EIE for New Terminal B Passenger Facility and Associated Improvements at Bradley International Airport
Municipality where project is proposed: Windsor Locks, CT
Address of Possible Project Location: Bradley International Airport, Windsor Locks, CT
Project Description: The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) proposes to construct a new passenger terminal in the area occupied by the existing Terminal B at Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. The existing Terminal B complex would be demolished for construction of a new Terminal B and associated airside and landside improvements to provide airport facilities that would meet future air travel demand. Construction of the proposed improvements would occur in phases, with completion of the initial phase anticipated by 2018. Key elements of the program include a new terminal building with concourses, a modified roadway system to access the terminal, new approach roadway alignments, a new parking garage and consolidated car rental facility, airside aircraft parking aprons and taxilanes, airside and landside utilities, and power generation to the new terminal.
