2. Notice of Scoping for Well 1A Raw Water Main and Well 6 Water Treatment Plant Improvement Project
Municipality where proposed project might be located: East Lyme
Address of Possible Project Location: East Lyme Middle School, 31 Society Road, Niantic– access road between school and playing fields.
Project Description: The Town of East Lyme is seeking financial assistance under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program for the proposed improvements to its existing greensand filtration system located at the Well 6 Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and a raw water main from Well 1A to the improved Well 6 WTP. The water from Well 1A contains elevated levels of iron and manganese. Approximately 1,400 lineal feet of new 12-inch diameter ductile iron main will be installed to convey the raw water from Well 1A to the Well 6 WTP where it can be treated for iron and manganese removal. The Well 6 WTP is being improved to accommodate the additional flow from Well 1A. The project will also include a building addition next to the existing WTP to accommodate new treatment equipment and additional chemical storage, emergency generator installation, and associated components.

3. Notice of Scoping for Emergency Interconnection Between Ledyard WPCA Water System and SCWA Water Systems
Municipality where proposed project might be located: Ledyard
Addresses of Possible Project Locations: Hill Street, Chriswood Trace, Iron Street, Ferry View Drive, and Fairway Drive in Ledyard
Project Description: The City of Groton (City) is receiving financial assistance from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program for the Groton Utilities (GU) Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Upgrade project. The proposed emergency interconnections between the Ledyard Water Pollution Control Authority (WPCA) Water System and five of Southeastern Connecticut Water Authority’s (SCWA) small public water systems are associated with WTP Upgrade project as it will enable GU to wheel water through the Ledyard WPCA to provide water supply to the SCWA systems if needed in an emergency. These emergency interconnection projects are essential to provide five of SCWA’s small public water systems with the ability to continue providing water service to their customers in the event of an emergency. Although these emergency interconnection projects are not receiving funding from the DWSRF program, they are being scoped due to their association with state grant funding that the City received for the GU WTP project.
The project comprises installation of five segments of new 6-inch and 8-inch diameter ductile iron water pipes totaling approximately 2,070 lineal feet, isolation valves, meter pits, water meters of various sizes, and other miscellaneous appurtenances along Hill Street, Chriswood Trace, Iron Street, Ferry View Drive, and Fairway Drive in Ledyard, CT. The new main will be connected to the existing distribution system of Ledyard WPCA located at Route 117, Colonel Ledyard Highway, and Route 12. The new main will be installed along the roadway. The water mains have been minimally sized to meet the only the demands for domestic water use for the intended service areas.

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).
