1. Post-Scoping Notice for the Manchester Water Department-Glastonbury Water Main Extension
Municipality where project will be located: Glastonbury
CEPA Determination: On September 18, 2018, the Department of Public Health (DPH) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this project in the Environmental Monitor.
Based on the DPH’s environmental assessment of this project which includes comments provided by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) dated October 18, 2018, comments from the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) dated October 18, 2018 and correspondence from the DPH to OPM dated October 24, 2018, it has been determined that the project does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE) under CEPA. The DPH will coordinate with the Manchester Water Department and the Town of Glastonbury to ensure that the recommendations received during the Scoping period are implemented.
The agency's conclusion is documented in a Memorandum of Findings and Determination and an Environmental Assessment Summary.

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).
