Early Public Scoping Notice

OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

Subject: Honors Residence Hall

The Department of Energy & Environmental Protection has received the Notice of Scopingfor the proposed construction of an honors program residence hall on Gilbert Road at the Storrscampus. The following commentary is submitted for your consideration.

The site is within the headwaters of the Roberts Brook watershed, which drains to theFenton River, and is thus within the water supply watershed of the Willimantic Reservoir. The2014 State of Connecticut Integrated Water Quality Report assessed the 1.7 mile-long RobertsBrook (CT3207-12_01), immediately downstream from Mirror Lake. There was insufficientinformation for the designated use of Aquatic Life. Water quality and biological data collectionsfor this assessment cycle has produced analysis concerns by the Water Monitoring andAssessment program staff. Expectant resident fish species and local populations were essentiallyabsent during some monitoring dates. Other biological data, including benthic invertebratepopulation sampling, tentatively indicates supportive water quality conditions for Class AAsurface water criteria. Concerns have been raised that possible impact from high flowstormwater runoff from currently managed discharges at the Mirror Lake outlet may overwhelmlocal fish populations and aggressively force residents downstream towards the Fenton River.Local repopulation may be prevented from the downstream, and more robust, Fenton Riverpopulation source due to the moderately steep gradient of Roberts Brook. The stormwatersystem for the dormitory project should be designed so that, at a minimum, this condition willnot be exacerbated.

Due to the introduction of a significant amount of impervious surface, the proposed projectmust be certified by the University as being in compliance with flood and stormwatermanagement standards specified in section 25-68d of the Connecticut General Statutes (CGS)and section 25-68h-1 through 25-68h-3 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies(RCSA) and receive approval from the Department. The stormwater collection and treatmentsystem for the project should be designed so that there will be no increased runoff for the 2-, 10-and 100-year storm events.

Although there is not a total maximum daily load for impervious surface for thiswatershed, unlike Eagleville Brook, the use of Low Impact Development techniques wouldprovide hydrologic and water quality benefits to Roberts Brook and the Fenton River. TheDepartment recognizes the recent efforts of the University to employ LID techniques, as

Paul Ferri - 2 - December 18, 2014

exemplified by the designs of the Oak Hall and the Laurel Hall buildings, and urges that a similarsuite of LID measures be employed in the design of the honors dorm.

The EIE should include the projected amount of potable water use and estimated dischargeto the sanitary sewer. The ability to meet these demands should be confirmed. It is expected thatwater conservation measures similar to those being designed into recently proposed projects willalso be incorporated into this project.

The document should evaluate the cumulative impacts of the development at the Storrscampus being triggered by the NextGenCT program. The impacts of this project, whencombined with those of the STEM residence hall, new engineering and science building, andInnovative Partnership Building, as well as reasonably foreseeable future projects should beincluded in the analyses.

The Natural Diversity Data Base (NDDB) does not anticipate negative impacts to anyFederally listed endangered or threatened species or species listed by the State, pursuant tosection 26-306 of the CGS, as endangered, threatened or special concern resulting fromconstruction of the dormitory, based upon the information contained within the NDDB. Thesmooth green snake (Liochlorophis vernalis), a state species of special concern, is known tooccur in the vicinity of the project site. Smooth green snakes occupy a wide range of habitats,though they depend on moist, grassy areas in fields, marshes or near lakes. They will occupyforests if conditions are right. While they spend most of their time on the ground, they will hidein small bushes or slither beneath rocks or logs.

Natural Diversity Data Base information includes all information regarding criticalbiological resources available to us at the time of the request. This information is a compilationΘΗ ΦΧςΧΕΘΝΝΓΕςΓΦΘΞΓΤ ςϑΓ [ΓΧΤΥ ∆[ ςϑΓ&ΓΡΧΤςΟΓΠς ΘΗ ∋ΠΓΤΙ[ ΧΠΦ∋ΠΞΚΤΘΠΟΓΠςΧΝ 2ΤΘςΓΕςΚΘΠ∝ΥNatural History Survey and cooperating units of DEEP, private conservation groups and thescientific community. This information is not necessarily the result of comprehensive or site-specific field investigations. Consultations with the NDDB should not be substitutes for on-sitesurveys required for environmental assessments. Current research projects and new contributorscontinue to identify additional populations of species and locations of habitats of concern, aswell as, enhance existing data. Such new information is incorporated into the Data Base as itbecomes available. The result of this review does not preclude the possibility that listed speciesmay be encountered on site and that additional action may be necessary to remain in compliancewith certain state permits. This determination is good for one year. Please re-submit an NDDBRequest for Review if the scope of work changes or if work has not begun on this project byDecember 1, 2015.

The Department has issued a General Permit for the Discharge of Wastewater AssociatedWith Food Preparation Establishments. The general permit regulates the discharge ofwastewaters from food preparation establishments that include restaurants, hotel kitchens,hospital kitchens, school kitchens, bars and cafes, factory cafeterias, church kitchens, bakeriesΧΠΦΥΡΓΕΚΧΝΕΝΩ∆ΜΚςΕϑΓΠΥ6ϑΓΦΘΤΟΚςΘΤ[∝ΥΜΚςΕϑΓΠΗΧΕΚΝΚςΚΓΥΥϑΘΩΝΦbe designed to comply withthe terms of the permit by installing either a grease trap/interceptor or an automatic greaserecovery unit. Permittees are required to install either an outside passive grease interceptor or anautomatic grease recovery unit (AGRU) in accordance with technical requirements specified inthe general permit. A grease trap/interceptor is an outdoor, 1,000 gallon (minimum), in-ground


installation on a separate building sewer line servicing kitchen flows connected only to thosefixtures or drains which would allow fats, oils, and grease to be discharged. An AGRU is aninterior grease interceptor that separates grease from the wastewater by active mechanical orelectrical means. No registration is required in order for discharges to be authorized by thisgeneral permit. For additional information concerning the specific requirements of the generalpermit, contact Iliana Raffa of the Water Planning & Standards Division at 860-424-3758. Thegeneral permit is available on-line at: Fats, Oil, Grease GP

Pursuant to Section 16a-38k of the CGS, as amended by Section 19 of Public Act 14°94,the Department is developing regulations requiring new construction of a state facility that isprojected to cost more than $5.0 million or renovation of a state facility that is projected to cost$2.0 million or more to comply with state building construction standards that achieve at leastseventy-five points on the United States EPA's national energy performance rating system, asdetermined by said agency's Energy Star Target Finder tool. If such facility cannot be defined asan eligible building type as determined by the Target Finder tool, it must exceed the energybuilding construction standards set forth in the 2007 edition of the American Society of Heating,Ventilating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 90.1 by not less than twentyper cent, or adhere to the current State Building Code, whichever is more stringent. TheDepartment recommends that the University design this building and any future construction thatmeets these thresholds to comply with these energy performance standards.

During recent CEPA reviews, the University has responded to our comments regardingmitigation of diesel emissions during construction by citing the contractor manual,Environmental, Health, and Safety Requirements of Construction, Service and MaintenanceContractors, which requires the use of low sulfur diesel fuels or biofuels. It should be noted thatultra-low sulfur diesel is the only diesel available in the state. Considering the populationdensity of the Storrs campus, the Department recommends that the university utilize current bestmanagement practices to protect the health of students, faculty, staff, and others who frequent thecampus.

Therefore, the Department urges that new construction equipment be utilized, asrecommended in our typical comments which follow. Alternatively, if older equipment is used,it should be retrofitted. These measures will provide additional mitigation of potential air qualityand health impacts from diesel emissions beyond the use of ultra-low sulfur fuels. This issuebecomes more significant given the amount of construction activity that will be occurring at thecampus due to the Next Generation Connecticut initiative.

For large construction projects, the Department recommends encourages the use ofnewer off-road construction equipment that meets the latest EPA or California AirResources Board (CARB) standards. If that newer equipment cannot be used,equipment with the best available controls on diesel emissions including retrofittingwith diesel oxidation catalysts or particulate filters in addition to the use of ultra-lowsulfur fuel would be the second choice that can be effective in reducing exhaustemissions. The use of newer equipment that meets EPA standards would obviate theneed for retrofits.

The Department also recommends the use of newer on-road vehicles that meet eitherthe latest EPA or California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards for construction


projects. These on-road vehicles include dump trucks, fuel delivery trucks and othervehicles typically found at construction sites. On-road vehicles older than the 2007-model year typically should be retrofitted with diesel oxidation catalysts or dieselparticulate filters for projects. Again, the use of newer vehicles that meet EPAstandards would eliminate the need for retrofits.

Additionally, the University has noted that contract documents reference Section 22a-174-18 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies that limits the idling of mobile sources to 3minutes. It is typically recommended that the project sponsor include language similar to theanti-idling regulations in the contract specifications for construction in order to allow them toenforce idling restrictions at the project site without the involvement of the Department. Itshould be confirmed that the reference to the regulations would give this enforcement power tothe University and that the University will enforce this requirement.

Although this project does not include additional parking, electric vehicle infrastructureshould be incorporated where new parking is planned for the campus. We typically recommendthat Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations be included at 3% of the parking spaces in projectdesign, iΠ ΜΓΓΡΚΠΙ ΨΚςϑ ςϑΓ &ΓΡΧΤςΟΓΠς∝Υ ΚΠςΓΤΓΥς ΚΠ ΗΩΤςϑΓΤΚΠΙ ςϑΓ ΩΥΓ ΘΗ ΧΝςΓΤΠΧςΓ ΗΩΓΝΥ ΗΘΤtransportation purposes in order to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, ozone precursors,particulate matter and toxic air pollutants. Increasing the availability of public charging stationswill facilitate the introduction of the electric vehicle technology into the state and serve toalleviate the present energy dependence on petroleum and improve air quality.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal. If there are any questionsconcerning these comments, please contact me.

General Construction Best ManagementPractices for Sites within a Public Drinking

Water Supply Area

Emergency Response Plan

A response plan should be written for actions to be taken for the containment of accidental fuel or chemicalspills or the failure of temporary erosion and sedimentation controls that may occur during construction. Spillresponse equipment should be available on-site at all times along with personnel trained in the proper use ofsuch equipment. A person or persons should be designated by the contractor for emergency responsecoordination on a 24/7 basis.

Vehicles and Machinery

Designate one area for auto parking, vehicle refueling and routine equipment maintenance. The designated areashould be well away from exposed surfaces or storm drains. Methods and locations of refueling, servicing, andstorage of vehicles and machinery should be addressed and included as notes on the final site plans. Minorservicing and refueling of machinery should be completed on a fueling pad with containment. All majorequipment repairs must be made off site. Onsite fuel storage should be discouraged.

General Site Conditions

Keep pollutants off exposed surfaces. The burying of stumps or construction debris must not be allowed on thejob site. Sediment fences and hay bales must be strategically placed, inspected and maintained to preventsedimentation and erosion. Temporary storm water ponds and basins must be routinely inspected andmaintained. If unexpected conditions occur, additional fences and hay bales should be available for use asneeded to prevent runoff. Protect exposed stockpiles of soil to prevent runoff. Use as little water as possible fordust control. Clean up leaks, drips and other spills immediately to prevent or minimize soil contamination.Never hose down "dirty" pavement or surfaces where materials have spilled. Use dry cleanup methodswhenever possible.

Hazardous Materials Storage

Paints, paint products and other hazardous materials should be removed from the site during non-work hours orotherwise stored in a secure area to prevent vandalism. Place covered trashcans and recycling receptaclesaround the site. Cover and maintain dumpsters, check frequently for leaks, and never clean a dumpster byhosing it down on site.

Sanitation

Make sure portable toilets are in good working order. Check frequently for leaks.

Notification

Notification of the project start date should be sent to the Public Water System as soon as it has beendetermined. Public Water System personnel should be granted daily site access to review compliance with sitebest management practices. The Public Water System, DPH Drinking Water Section (860-509-7333 OR afterhours at 860-509-8000), and appropriate sections of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protectionmust be notified immediately of any chemical/fuel spill or any major failure of an erosion and sedimentationcontrol at the construction site. Emergency telephone numbers and a statement identifying the construction siteas a sensitive public water supply area should be posted where they are readily visible to contractors and otheron-site personnel. A note should be added to the construction documents stating the sensitivity of the area.

·1· · · · · · · · (The hearing commenced at 7:01 p.m.)

·2· · · · · · · · · · ·MR. COITE:· Okay.· Good evening,

·3· ·everyone.· I have the time at 7:01, and this will

·4· ·start our public scoping meeting for the Honors

·5· ·Residence Hall, first one to the Connecticut

·6· ·Environmental Policy Act.

·7· · · · · · · · · · ·I'm Jason Coite, Environmental

·8· ·Compliance Manager for UConn Office of Environmental

·9· ·Policy.· In a few moments I'm going to hand it over to

10· ·tonight's moderator, Paul Ferri, from the UConn Office

11· ·of Environmental Policy, but I want to go over a

12· ·couple things beforehand.

13· · · · · · · · · · ·Many of you are probably aware that

14· ·early this year we had done two EIEs earlier this

15· ·year, one for the STEM residence hall and one for the

16· ·new engineering and science building.· These were the

17· ·first two projects that were, either in whole or in

18· ·part, funded under the authorization commonly referred

19· ·to as NexGen Connecticut.

20· · · · · · · · · · ·Those EIEs and their record of

21· ·decisions went through the standard process and were

22· ·deemed sufficient by OPM in late July.· And also as

23· ·many of you might be aware, within those EIEs were

24· ·references to cumulative impacts that would be

25· ·reviewed in more -- that we said would be reviewed in

·1· ·more detail in a yet to be completed master plan EIE.

·2· · · · · · · · · · ·Shortly after those EIEs were deemed

·3· ·sufficient by OPM we were advised by OPM that they

·4· ·were of the opinion that they, OPM, did not have the

·5· ·authority to approve a UConn master plan EIE, because

·6· ·they believe UConn did not have the authority to

·7· ·prepare one.

·8· · · · · · · · · · ·Given that uncertainty I just want

·9· ·to make it clear upfront that this EIE for the Honors

10· ·Residence Hall will include a cumulative impact

11· ·analysis that uses academic year 2013 as the baseline,

12· ·and that will evaluate the cumulative increases in

13· ·staffing and enrollment, facilities and infrastructure

14· ·that are known or expected through the beginning of

15· ·the fall of 2017 semester, which is when the Honors

16· ·Residence Hall is expected to open.· In other words,

17· ·this EIE will build off those previous EIE assessments

18· ·and add any further analysis where it was warranted.

19· · · · · · · · · · ·With respect to how we approach CEPA

20· ·for the development proposed beyond the Honors

21· ·Residence Hall, UConn has been in discussions with the

22· ·regulatory authorities regarding how, when, and at

23· ·what frequency the cumulative impacts will be done

24· ·over the course of NexGen Connecticut.

25· · · · · · · · · · ·Based on that same initial opinion

·1· ·provided by OPM about the master plan EIE, the

·2· ·approach we take will likely take the form of

·3· ·groupings, projects that together, either because

·4· ·they're located proximal to each other or will be

·5· ·constructed at the same time or both, will be together

·6· ·in a single EIE document.

·7· · · · · · · · · · ·Discussions and the details and the

·8· ·nuances are ongoing, but it's anticipated that

·9· ·sometime after the first of the year there will be an

10· ·approach available that's described in more detail.

11· ·With that I'd like to introduce Paul Ferri from UConn

12· ·Office of Environmental Policy.· He will be tonight's

13· ·moderator.

14· · · · · · · · · · ·We will do our standard procedure of

15· ·going through slides, explaining the details of what

16· ·is known at this time with respect to the Honors

17· ·Residence Hall, and then Paul will moderate a comment

18· ·period where people are welcome to offer comments and

19· ·questions on the proposed project.

20· · · · · · · · · · ·MR. FERRI:· Thank you, Jason.

21· · · · · · · · · · ·MR. COITE:· You're welcome, brother.

22· · · · · · · · · · ·MR. FERRI:· Good evening.· I am Paul

23· ·Ferri, a compliance analyst for UConn.· Also here from

24· ·UConn is of course Jason Coite, Rich Miller, director

25· ·of Environmental Policy; Tom Callahan, associate vice

·1· ·president; and Laura Cruickshank, University master

·2· ·planner and chief architect.

·3· · · · · · · · · · ·The scoping meeting serves as an

·4· ·opportunity for the public to provide comments and

·5· ·questions, and these questions in this early project

·6· ·process will serve as a way for the University to

·7· ·focus the Environmental Impact Evaluation document.

·8· · · · · · · · · · ·Diane Mas of Fuss & O'Neill is

·9· ·charged with guiding the University through their

10· ·Environmental Impact Evaluation process and developing

11· ·the Environmental Impact Evaluation document.· She's

12· ·here tonight to present the project, and with that I'd

13· ·like to have Diane come up and go through the project

14· ·slides.

15· · · · · · · · · · ·MS. MAS:· Thanks, Paul.· So we have

16· ·the agenda tonight.· We have gone over the purpose of

17· ·the meeting.· I will go very briefly through the CEPA

18· ·process, talk about the overview of the project and

19· ·alternatives that were considered, look at

20· ·environmental resources in the project area, talk

21· ·about the schedule, and then provide a period for

22· ·public comment.

23· · · · · · · · · · ·So the purpose of the scoping

24· ·meeting is to provide some information on the proposed

25· ·action, which is the construction of a new

·1· ·approximately 650-bed 210,000 square foot, gross

·2· ·square foot residence hall and dining facility on

·3· ·Gilbert Road with an integrated approximately 700-seat

·4· ·dining facility to be really the new heart of the

·5· ·UConn Honors community.

·6· · · · · · · · · · ·Tonight we will also describe the

·7· ·CEPA process, provide a forum for public input, and

·8· ·solicit verbal and written comments on the project.

·9· ·That will be dressed in the CEPA process.· This slide

10· ·is a brief description of the Connecticut

11· ·Environmental Policy Act, really a way to provide for

12· ·input, public input on proposed State actions.· I will

13· ·go through these briefly.

14· · · · · · · · · · ·We look at somewhere on the order of

15· ·close to, you know, over 20 different resource areas

16· ·divided into the physical, natural, and socioeconomic

17· ·environment, considered both direct, indirect, and

18· ·also cumulative impacts associated with those areas.

19· · · · · · · · · · ·This is a flowchart of the CEPA

20· ·process beginning with the identification of a state

21· ·action.· Tonight we're in the public scoping phase

22· ·shown in green.· This is part of the early project

23· ·scoping process.· From there there is the preparation

24· ·of the EIE, which will identify issues and perform

25· ·analysis of impact.

·1· · · · · · · · · · ·There will be a circulation period,

·2· ·a 45-day circulation period for the EIE, and a public

·3· ·hearing again at that time where we will receive some

·4· ·additional review and comment, and then finally those

·5· ·comments will be dressed, and a Record of Decision

·6· ·submitted to OPM for their determination of adequacy.

·7· · · · · · · · · · ·So the purpose and need for this

·8· ·project is in part to accommodate and support the

·9· ·Honors Program, which has experienced fairly

10· ·significant growth since it began in 1994 both in

11· ·terms of you can see in the graph above first-year

12· ·enrollment and also total enrollment having close to

13· ·tripled since it began in 1994.

14· · · · · · · · · · ·In addition, it's also to provide

15· ·more Residential Life space for on-campus

16· ·undergraduate housing.· You can see here the Storrs

17· ·undergraduate population from 2003 through 2014 and

18· ·really to help alleviate the existing on-campus

19· ·housing shortage, to really decompress the housing

20· ·situation, if you will, and provide more space for

21· ·on-campus housing.

22· · · · · · · · · · ·It's also to provide a consolidated

23· ·space for the Honors Program, which is spread in a few

24· ·different areas across campus, to also provide housing

25· ·options to meet the needs of a diverse first-year

·1· ·student population, and to have an Honors living and

·2· ·learning community that supports the recruitment of

·3· ·high-achieving students and STEM and other disciplines

·4· ·and create an Honors Program and support that that's

·5· ·really consistent with other peer academic

·6· ·institutions.

·7· · · · · · · · · · ·So the proposed action itself is the

·8· ·construction of the Honors Residence Hall and the

·9· ·dining facility, as I mentioned earlier, the size,

10· ·approximate size of the facility, a 5-to-6-story

11· ·structure with an 8-to-9-story tower element that will

12· ·be a total of approximately 210,000 gross square feet.

13· · · · · · · · · · ·It will provide housing for

14· ·first-year students, a single home for the Honors

15· ·Program, and will consist of a variety of uses

16· ·including residential space, obviously, dining space,

17· ·Honors Program office area, building common support

18· ·areas, and also floor commons and support areas.

19· · · · · · · · · · ·So here is the proposed action.· If

20· ·we think about the different elements of it, there is

21· ·basically three pieces.· There is the residence hall

22· ·area shown in this sort of almost L-shaped figure.

23· ·There is also the conversion of Gilbert Road as well

24· ·as sort of the utility corridor that will be involved

25· ·in the project.· So if we can think about it in three

·1· ·different elements, and we will address those in a

·2· ·little bit more detail as we move through.

·3· · · · · · · · · · ·So the programing for the residence

·4· ·hall will include, obviously, student and staff

·5· ·residential space, singles and doubles, space for a

·6· ·residential director and graduate assistant, floor

·7· ·common and support areas, Honors Program, an Honors

·8· ·Program area, offices, conference rooms, workrooms,

·9· ·building commons, and building support areas as well.

10· · · · · · · · · · ·The dining hall will be located --

11· ·To orient you a little bit here is Mansfield Road,

12· ·195, here is the sort of main piece of the building,

13· ·and then the dining will be to the east approximately

14· ·700 seats, an anticipated 4,000 to 4,500 meals per

15· ·day.· In addition, there will be kitchen and storage

16· ·areas as well and a dedicated delivery area accessed

17· ·from the back here off of Bolton Road.

18· · · · · · · · · · ·CEPA requires the consideration of

19· ·alternatives.· One of those is to be the no Action

20· ·Alternative.· In addition, there were different

21· ·locations, alternative locations on campus that were

22· ·considered as part of this process, and those include

23· ·three locations shown here.· One is south of McMahon

24· ·Hall, a second on the S lot here, existing parking

25· ·area, and then this general additional area near the

·1· ·South Campus residence halls off Gilbert Road.· So

·2· ·there's just a few photos of the different project

·3· ·areas.

·4· · · · · · · · · · ·The numbers refer to the location

·5· ·the viewer would be standing looking at the picture,

·6· ·and just a few things to point out about these

·7· ·different locations.· So here south of McMahon there

·8· ·is the roadway that runs through up to a student

·9· ·parking lot.· There is a steep curve, well, there is a

10· ·steep slope as you can sort of see here.· The roadway

11· ·is in that area, and also there is high ledge or high

12· ·bedrock in the area as well.

13· · · · · · · · · · ·The S lot site is this existing

14· ·large parking area currently used for parking, also

15· ·proposed to be part of the woodland corridor that will

16· ·be used, which is sort of an important feature on

17· ·campus for stormwater management, green

18· ·infrastructure, in that sort of location of campus.

19· ·Also locating the building on this site at this point

20· ·would sort of place a burden on a parking situation

21· ·that's already tight on campus.

22· · · · · · · · · · ·Then we have what we're calling the

23· ·Gilbert Road site, which is the location off Gilbert

24· ·Road near the South Campus residence halls.· The area

25· ·is relatively flat, open.· There are two small

·1· ·cottages, small houses, two-story houses that are

·2· ·there as well as a small parking area.· Some

·3· ·residential walkways exist on the site right now, and

·4· ·there is a few additional photos of that.· You can see

·5· ·the small parking area as well as some of the

·6· ·walkways.

·7· · · · · · · · · · ·So the Gilbert Road site was

·8· ·selected as the preferred alternative.· It's an

·9· ·existing residential area near the South Campus

10· ·complex.· It has compatible land uses, and it was

11· ·actually historically used for housing as well.· Here

12· ·is a shot of the area, an aerial photo of the area

13· ·from the early 1960s.· You can see Gilbert Road is

14· ·sort of right in here.· You can see the residential

15· ·housing that was there back then.

16· · · · · · · · · · ·This site allows for integration of

17· ·the Honors Program with a larger campus community but

18· ·really will provide a single home for the Honors

19· ·Program.· It had space to accommodate dining as part

20· ·of the facility and also allows for outdoor spaces to

21· ·support the building as well.· There is limited impact

22· ·on parking.· Just the removal of about 18 to 20

23· ·spaces.· Utilities are in that area and available, and

24· ·it's also consistent with the draft campus master plan

25· ·that's being developed.

·1· · · · · · · · · · ·There's just another view of that

·2· ·site, sort of an aerial view, Gilbert Road, the

·3· ·existing South Campus residence here, and this is from

·4· ·the schematic design.· You need to sort of switch your

·5· ·orientation a little bit.· Mirror Lake, 195, Gilbert

·6· ·Road here, and here we see the proposed footprint of

·7· ·the residence hall and the dining facility here, and

·8· ·you can see it in relation to the existing residential

·9· ·halls that are there right now.

10· · · · · · · · · · ·Sort of just to zoom in on the same,

11· ·you can also see here this conversion to a pedestrian

12· ·way between Mansfield Road and Whitney.· And just to

13· ·look a little bit more closely at that, here is some

14· ·shots of that area showing the existing conditions

15· ·right now both Gilbert and on Whitney.

16· · · · · · · · · · ·And a schematic to sort of

17· ·illustrate what we're talking about here, the

18· ·conversion of this area from -- you can see Gilbert,

19· ·Whitney rather, excuse me, coming around and ending

20· ·here at the intersection with Gilbert.· Gilbert from

21· ·this point over to 195, Mansfield Road, would be

22· ·converted to a pedestrian way.· Whitney would be

23· ·modified to remove street parking and widen the travel

24· ·lanes and also change the radius on this curve to

25· ·allow for buses.

·1· · · · · · · · · · ·So this preferred alternative site

·2· ·was also anticipated to allow to tie into central

·3· ·utilities for electricity, chilled water, steam,

·4· ·sewer, stormwater, potable water, and

·5· ·telecommunications.· There is plans to have a

·6· ·dedicated natural gas emergency generator for the

·7· ·facility.· It will incorporate best practices of

·8· ·sustainability with a minimum goal of leadership and

·9· ·energy and environmental design or lead silver and

10· ·will, of course, comply with the State's high

11· ·performance building regulations.

12· · · · · · · · · · ·There is some consideration by the

13· ·design team of potential for solar and green roof

14· ·that's being evaluated.· Resources that are not

15· ·present on the site include floodplains and wetlands.

16· ·You saw the very, very developed nature of the

17· ·proposed site.· There will be minimal new parking

18· ·demand and traffic generation associated with this

19· ·project.· There is really just support staff and

20· ·dining hall deliveries that are associated with it.

21· · · · · · · · · · ·There is no pedestrian conflicts.

22· ·In fact, there will be the creation of a pedestrian

23· ·way.· It's consistent with the ongoing campus master

24· ·planning and also the existing land use setting, which

25· ·is residential in nature, and as I mentioned earlier,

·1· ·utilities are available.

·2· · · · · · · · · · ·And here is a shot just showing,

·3· ·again, sort of the building footprint, the utility

·4· ·corridor, the Gilbert Road conversion, and the campus

·5· ·utilities that sort of surround this site and are in

·6· ·this area.

·7· · · · · · · · · · ·In terms of water resources, the

·8· ·project is located -- it does drain -- the project

·9· ·site does drain into Mirror Lake, which is Roberts

10· ·Brook watershed, which is part of the Fenton River

11· ·subregional basin.· There are no areas of contribution

12· ·to public water supply wells, although this basin is

13· ·part of a public water supply area.

14· · · · · · · · · · ·In terms of landscape, there was one

15· ·significant tree that was identified that would need

16· ·to be removed, and that was a sweet gum tree located

17· ·here, over roughly in the area of the dining hall or

18· ·where the dining hall is proposed.

19· · · · · · · · · · ·In terms of cultural resources, part

20· ·of the project site is located within the footprint of

21· ·the University of Connecticut Historic District, and

22· ·the construction on that site will require removal of

23· ·two houses that are located along Gilbert Road.

24· · · · · · · · · · ·There is currently a historic

25· ·structures evaluation underway that's expected to be

·1· ·completed, I believe, in December, and that's looking

·2· ·at a few different options for either removal,

·3· ·relocation, potentially renovation or auction of those

·4· ·houses, and that report will be coming out in December

·5· ·and will be incorporated into the EIE.· And, again,

·6· ·coordination with the State Historic Preservation

·7· ·Office, SHPO, has already begun with UConn, and the

·8· ·assessment will be completed in December.

·9· · · · · · · · · · ·In terms of traffic and parking,

10· ·there will be this conversion to a pedestrian

11· ·corridor, improvements to Whitney Road.· There will be

12· ·minimal parking impact associated with the site, and,

13· ·again, this conversion of Gilbert Road is sort of

14· ·consistent with the vision of the overall campus

15· ·master plan.

16· · · · · · · · · · ·So just to sort of run down the list

17· ·of a preliminary impact screening, where we're at at

18· ·this point, what we know at the start of the impact

19· ·analysis process in terms of air quality there is no

20· ·negative impact anticipated.· The stationary sources

21· ·associated with this building will be included in

22· ·UConn's air quality impact.· No impact associated with

23· ·noise.· The land uses are consistent with the

24· ·residential setting in this area.

25· · · · · · · · · · ·In terms of water resources, there

·1· ·is no impact anticipated.· Stormwater peak flow due to

·2· ·new impervious area will be mitigated.· The project

·3· ·will be subject to a Connecticut DEEP flood and

·4· ·management certification, and as I mentioned earlier,

·5· ·there are no floodplains in the area.

·6· · · · · · · · · · ·In terms of water supply the Honors

·7· ·Residence Hall was included in the water supply plan

·8· ·EIE ROD.· It's anticipated that a draft permit for the

·9· ·Connecticut Water Company diversion will be

10· ·forthcoming soon, and that construction will

11· ·hopefully, on that diversion project will hopefully be

12· ·started in the spring of 2015 and completed sometime

13· ·in late summer of 2016.

14· · · · · · · · · · ·In terms of wetlands in natural

15· ·communities, there is no negative impact anticipated.

16· ·The project site is on the edge of a natural diversity

17· ·database area, but the species in the actual project

18· ·site are very unlikely.· Application to DEEP for

19· ·inquiry about that will be made and there are no --

20· · · · · · · · · · ·MR. FOX:· I did that already.

21· · · · · · · · · · ·MS. MAS:· What's that?

22· · · · · · · · · · ·MR. FOX:· I did that already.

23· · · · · · · · · · ·MS. MAS:· Oh great.

24· · · · · · · · · · ·MR. FOX:· It should be on our

25· ·scoping comments.

·1· · · · · · · · · · ·MS. MAS:· Terrific.· There are no

·2· ·wetlands resources observed on site.· Some trees will

·3· ·be removed.· There is a landscape plan planned for the

·4· ·site as well.· In terms of geology and soils, there is

·5· ·no unique features, geologic features.· There is no

·6· ·farmland soils in the project area.

·7· · · · · · · · · · ·For traffic and parking and

·8· ·circulation there is no negative impact anticipated.

·9· ·Approximately 18 staff parking spaces will be lost on

10· ·Maple Lane, but there will be minimal new vehicle

11· ·trips because of the nature of the facility.· Dining

12· ·hall deliveries will be scheduled and organized, and

13· ·the pedestrian character in that area will be actually

14· ·strengthened by the Gilbert Road conversion to a

15· ·pedestrian way.

16· · · · · · · · · · ·No impact to visual or esthetic

17· ·resources is anticipated.· The architectural design

18· ·will be sensitive to the current visual setting in

19· ·that area.· Cultural resources there is the potential

20· ·for a negative impact, and mitigation is actually

21· ·likely to be required in some form, because the

22· ·project will require removal of two structures in a

23· ·National Registered Historic District.· However,

24· ·consultation with the SHPO has been initiated, and a

25· ·historic structures evaluation is underway, which will

·1· ·be reported on in the EIE.

·2· · · · · · · · · · ·Impacts to utilities and services

·3· ·are not anticipated.· They're present in the project

·4· ·area.· Stormwater impacts will be evaluated in the

·5· ·context of the other South Campus projects, and

·6· ·underground attention is anticipated to mitigate peak

·7· ·flows.

·8· · · · · · · · · · ·In terms of energy conservation and

·9· ·energy use, no negative impact is anticipated.· The

10· ·project will be consistent with the UConn Climate

11· ·Action Plan and the commitment to carbon neutrality.

12· ·The building will be at a lead silver or above and

13· ·will meet the high performance building standards.

14· · · · · · · · · · ·In terms of public health and

15· ·safety, no negative impact is anticipated.· Public

16· ·health and safety services are in place for

17· ·residential students on campus.· No negative impact

18· ·associated with solid waste or hazardous materials is

19· ·anticipated.· There will be a typical residential and

20· ·dining waste stream associated with the project.

21· · · · · · · · · · ·The project is actually anticipated

22· ·to have a socioeconomic benefit to the University, to

23· ·the community, to the State at large, and no negative

24· ·impact to land use planning is anticipated since the

25· ·project will be consistent with campus local,

·1· ·regional, and State planning.

·2· · · · · · · · · · ·The project is located in the

·3· ·balance priority funding area and the State plan of

·4· ·conservation and development and in the locational

·5· ·guide map.· So the overall project schedule, the

·6· ·scoping period started on November 18.· The scoping

·7· ·meeting is tonight on December 2.· The end of the

·8· ·30-day scoping period when comments are due is

·9· ·December 18.

10· · · · · · · · · · ·The CEPA process will continue into

11· ·the spring and conclude in the next several months

12· ·with the distribution of the EIE and the comment

13· ·period associated with that.· The start of

14· ·construction is anticipated for summer 2015, and

15· ·occupancy of the building for students in the summer

16· ·of 2017.

17· · · · · · · · · · ·So there is an opportunity for

18· ·written comments about the project or the CEPA process

19· ·that could be submitted to Paul Ferri.· There are

20· ·comment forms available here today.· You can also

21· ·e-mail comments as well, and also we're accepting

22· ·verbal comments tonight as well.· Thank you.

23· · · · · · · · · · ·MR. FERRI:· Do you have any

24· ·comments?

25· · · · · · · · · · ·MR. FOX:· No comments.

·1· · · · · · · · · · ·MS. MAS:· Your only comment is that

·2· ·NDVB comments will be in the scoping --

·3· · · · · · · · · · ·MR. FOX:· Yeah.

·4· · · · · · · · · · ·MS. MAS:· Well, it will be in the

OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

79 ELM STREET, HARTFORD, CT 06106-5127 To: Paul Ferri - Environmental Compliance Analyst UConn - Office of Environmental Policy, 31 LeDoyt Road, U-3055, Storrs, CT

From: David J. Fox - Senior Environmental Analyst Telephone: 860-424-4111

Date: March 19, 2015 E-Mail: [email protected]

Subject: South Campus Development The Department of Energy & Environmental Protection has reviewed the Notice of Scoping for the proposed construction of several projects in the South Campus area of the Storrs campus. The Department submitted comments dated December 18, 2014 during the previous scoping for the Honors Dormitory; these comments are still applicable. This Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE) will also address the cumulative impacts of projects throughout the campus that have been constructed since 2013 or that are currently proposed through 2017. The following commentary, which focuses on the cumulative impact of recent and proposed development on the campus, is submitted for your consideration. The cumulative impact evaluation should examine the increased population that will live and/or work at the Storrs campus, including the number of students, faculty, staff and support service providers that will occupy the new and expanded facilities. Given the well-established link between impervious surface area and water quality of receiving waterbodies, the cumulative analysis in this EIE should analyze the impacts of the increased impervious surface resulting from the additional development on the Storrs campus, as announced in previous EIEs for individual projects. The evaluation should include the gross change in impervious surface for each project, as well as the amount of impervious surface disconnected from the stormwater collection system via appropriately located low impact development techniques and the resultant net change in impervious surface. These figures should be summed for each local basin (Roberts Brook, Eagleville Brook, Cedar Swamp Brook) and for the sub-regional basins (Fenton River, Willimantic River). Previous CEPA and NEPA reviews have identified the importance of minimizing the increased impervious surface in each of the local basins. The results should be used to determine the need for any additional mitigation to either restore impaired water quality or further protect waterbodies currently meeting water quality standards. The Eagleville Brook Impervious Cover Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) analysis approved in 2007 requires the reduction of impervious area by 21% in the lower section of Eagleville Brook that includes a portion of the northwest campus, and a 59% reduction in impervious surface area in the upper section of Eagleville Brook that includes the buried brook segment and much of the core campus area. The follow up TMDL Response Project (2009-11) conducted field verification and analyses of watershed boundaries and confirmed a complex

Paul Ferri - 2 - March 19, 2015

array of storm drainage systems beneath much of the core campus surface area. The resulting report assessed 51 retrofit opportunities that included stormwater management practices. A refined “top ten” project site priority list was created with design conceptual drawings. As construction, renovation and landscaping take place on a project-by-project basis, it is recommended that additional information be gathered about the myriad stormwater and associated utility systems, in support of potential additional low impact development practices. An established Eagleville Brook Watershed Team, which meets regularly, could assess opportunities to utilize such information and guide future action steps towards meeting the goals of the impervious cover TMDL goal and support similar objectives in adjacent watersheds within the Storrs core campus. Information should be gathered at the numerous demolition and renovation projects covered in the cumulative analysis period and shared with appropriate watershed team and University planners. The cumulative impact evaluation should analyze the impact to the water supply system by including the water demand for each project, the timing of the projects and the total overall increase in demand. The timeline for the growing demand should be compared to existing available supply, the expected date for completion of the interconnection with the Connecticut Water Company and any ongoing conservation efforts to reduce demand, in order to confirm the ability to supply water throughout the period. A draft proposal for the use of Well D in the Fenton wellfield was submitted by the University last year and the Department commented informally with a suggestion to include provisions for monitoring groundwater levels between the well and river to better assess the response to pumping. A final proposal for the evaluation has not been submitted. Depending on the completion dates of the various proposed projects and the timing of the interconnection with the Connecticut Water Company, which is currently in the hearing process for the consumptive water diversion permit, the use of Well D may be a critical factor in maintaining an adequate water supply. Therefore, we again recommend that the University proceed with submitting a plan and collecting the data needed to obtain approval for the use of Fenton Well D under low flow conditions. Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal. If there are any questions concerning these comments, please contact me. cc: Robert Hannon, DEEP/OPPD Corinne Fitting, DEEP/WPSD Eric Thomas, DEEP/WPSD

·1· · · · · · ·(Meeting commenced at 7 p.m.)

·2

·3· · · · · · ·PAUL FERRI:· Good evening, everyone.

·4· Thank you for coming, Mayor Paterson; Linda Painter

·5· from the Town of Mansfield, director of planning; our

·6· director of planning, transportation person for UConn

·7· Beverly Wood.

·8· · · · · · ·We are here for the South Campus

·9· Development Public Scoping Meeting.· Back in November

10· we had a similar scoping meeting for the Honors

11· Residence Hall project.· And since that time because

12· of other projects, notably the Fine Arts Project

13· coming online around the same time, we thought it was

14· best to rescope this as a larger project encompassing

15· both the residence hall, Honors Residence Hall and

16· the Fine Arts Project and the associated changes

17· related to those projects as well.

18· · · · · · ·So I would like to hand this over to

19· Diane Mas of Fuss & O'Neill, who we hired Fuss &

20· O'Neill to do the CEPA process, or carry these

21· projects through the CEPA process for the University.

22· · · · · · ·DIANE MAS:· Thanks, Paul.· So tonight our

23· agenda is we will briefly discuss the meeting purpose

24· and very briefly the CEPA process, give an overview

25· of the project, briefly describe alternatives, and








·1· then really focus on environmental resources in the

·2· project area, and then touch upon the project

·3· schedule briefly and open up the floor for comments.

·4· · · · · · ·So the purpose of the scoping meeting

·5· tonight is to provide information on the proposed

·6· actions, describe the CEPA process briefly, provide a

·7· forum for public input, solicit verbal and written

·8· comments that will be addressed through the CEPA

·9· process.

10· · · · · · ·As Paul mentioned, this proposed action

11· covers a few different projects that were grouped

12· together because they were close in proximity,

13· similar in timeline as well, and all projects that

14· were sort of consistent with the Campus Master Plan,

15· which was just recently approved at the end of last

16· month.

17· · · · · · ·So CEPA stands for the Connecticut

18· Environmental Policy Act.· Our goal in this is to

19· identify and evaluate impacts and also allow for

20· public input.· And I will just go very briefly

21· through this.

22· · · · · · ·There is a timeline for this process

23· beginning with scoping, moving on to analysis and

24· impact assessment that results in an Environmental

25· Impact Evaluation, or EIE, that is circulated for








·1· review and comment.· And then comments are addressed

·2· and a record of submission submitted to OPM and then

·3· a final determination of adequacy made.· We are at

·4· the public scoping meeting point in the process.· And

·5· we will be looking during this time for agency and

·6· public comment.

·7· · · · · · ·So the purpose and need for the projects:

·8· Just to sort of give an overview of what the South

·9· Campus Development, what the elements are -- and we

10· will talk more about this as we go through the

11· presentation -- there is the Honors Residence Hall

12· and Dining Facility, which was initially started as a

13· CEPA process late last year.· There is also the Fine

14· Arts Production Facility Addition.· There is the

15· partial closure and conversion of a segment of

16· Gilbert Road, basically in front of where the Honors

17· Residence Hall will go, closure and conversion of

18· Coventry Road and Maple Lane, and demolition of two

19· contributing structures in the UConn National

20· Register Historic District, two of the brown houses.

21· · · · · · ·The purpose and need for the project:

22· CEPA requires that we discuss in the Environmental

23· Impact Evaluation the purpose and need for the

24· proposed actions.· Overall, this is just to give an

25· overview of the South Campus Development.· You can








·1· see this proposed long term plan taken from the

·2· Campus Master Plan, and you can see on there two of

·3· our project elements, both the Production Facility as

·4· part of Fine Arts and then the Honors Residence Hall

·5· as well.

·6· · · · · · ·Overall, the purpose and need for this

·7· South Campus Development, it supports the Master Plan

·8· goals which include developing a live-work-play

·9· community or communities throughout the campus.· It

10· supports the development of a South Campus Commons,

11· which was called out in the Master Plan, and also

12· helps to develop a pedestrian focused campus and

13· overall supports the academic needs of the

14· university.

15· · · · · · ·So now I will discuss purpose and need for

16· individual project elements.· For the Honors

17· Residence Hall this is both to sort of serve two

18· functions.· One is to address the current housing

19· issue on campus, the fact that housing is

20· oversubscribed and there's a need to decompress

21· housing on campus, and also to support the Honors

22· Program.· So this project will both provide more

23· residential life space overall for undergraduate

24· on-campus population, which you can see in the lower

25· graph has grown significantly over the past decade,








·1· help to alleviate that existing on-campus housing

·2· shortage, but will also support the Honors Program

·3· which has grown significantly both in terms of first

·4· year students and then overall population of the

·5· Honors Program over the past 20 or so years.

·6· · · · · · ·Again, for the Honors Program this will

·7· help provide a consolidated space for the Honors

·8· Program for both offices and staff as well as the

·9· residential component, provide housing options to

10· meet the needs of a diverse first year student

11· population.· And it is this idea of an Honors living

12· learning community supports the recruitment of high

13· achieving STEM students, students both in STEM and

14· other disciplines as well.· And it really supports an

15· Honors Program that is consistent with those seen at

16· other peer institutions.· Also provides dining in

17· close proximity to the residence halls.

18· · · · · · ·So the purpose and need for the historic

19· structure removal:· The removal of these two houses

20· that are within the National Register of Historic

21· District is really part of a larger campus-wide

22· historic preservation and adaptive reuse planning

23· effort.· Removal supports the Master Plan vision for

24· the South Campus and the development of a South

25· Campus Commons.· It also enables the development of








·1· the Honors Residence Hall given the footprint of that

·2· proposed building.

·3· · · · · · ·So to move to the Fine Arts Addition, that

·4· additional production space will expand the space

·5· available to support the Fine Arts Program.· It will

·6· also improve theater and production facilities to

·7· serve the current needs of the Fine Arts Program and

·8· will relocate production space to be closer to the

·9· theaters and enhance curriculum delivery in those

10· areas.· There will also be some provision of utility

11· upgrades and facade repairs to the buildings.

12· · · · · · ·Finally, the roadway conversions help

13· to -- and what we are talking about here is the

14· closure of about 950 feet of Gilbert Road and

15· conversion of that to a pedestrian way and then

16· closure of Coventry Road and Maple Lane near the Fine

17· Arts complex.

18· · · · · · ·These proposed actions help to strengthen

19· the pedestrian core of the South Campus.· They align

20· well with the Campus Master Plan objectives in terms

21· of separating pedestrians and vehicles.· They promote

22· walking and simplified wayfinding in that portion of

23· the campus and enhance circulation and a pedestrian

24· experience in that area.

25· · · · · · ·So to give a project overview -- and sort








·1· of located spatially on campus, the orange area sort

·2· of shows the project elements, which you can see are

·3· proximal to each other.· To sort of point out some

·4· key features, here we have Gilbert Road here.· And

·5· this element is the 950 feet closure that stretches

·6· from Mansfield Road over to the intersection with

·7· Whitney.· Here is Whitney here.· We have the Honors

·8· Residence Hall roughly in this sort of location.

·9· Removal of the two houses would be approximately in

10· this area.· And then we have the Fine Arts Production

11· Facility and Maple Lane and Coventry Road segments

12· located there.

13· · · · · · ·So to give a little bit more detail on

14· those individual elements, the Honors Residence Hall

15· and Dining Facility is an approximately 650 bed

16· facility in a five to six story structure with an

17· eight to nine story tower element that will total

18· approximately up to 210,000 gross square feet.· It

19· will provide housing for first year students, a

20· single home for the Honors Program here at UConn.· It

21· will consist of residential space, dining space,

22· Honors Program office areas, building commons and

23· support areas, floor common areas and support areas

24· as well.

25· · · · · · ·The Fine Arts Production Facility Addition








·1· will be a two-story steel frame structure.· It will

·2· provide production space for paint, scene, costume,

·3· and prop shops, and also a central gathering space as

·4· well within the Fine Arts complex.· It will be

·5· approximately 30,000 gross square feet of additional

·6· space.

·7· · · · · · ·The removal of the two Historic District

·8· houses that are located on Gilbert Road, this removal

·9· was recommended by conditions assessment and reuse

10· study that was performed recently, recently

11· completed.

12· · · · · · ·Other elements related to the roadways

13· include the partial closure of the eastern segment of

14· Gilbert Road to vehicular traffic.· So that is about,

15· again, a 950 foot length that is between Whitney Road

16· and Mansfield Road for the creation of a pedestrian

17· walkway.· There will also be modifications to Whitney

18· Road to improve the roadway connection to the western

19· segment of Gilbert Road.· And there's an illustration

20· of this on the next slide that will sort of

21· illustrate what I am talking about.

22· · · · · · ·Also the closure, at least partial closure

23· of Coventry Road and also Maple Lane to vehicular

24· traffic, which will be replaced with pedestrian

25· access area and also accommodate emergency vehicles








·1· and equipment in the area as well.

·2· · · · · · ·Just note that there is as part of the

·3· removal of the Historic District houses ongoing

·4· collaboration with the State Historic Preservation

·5· Office, the SHPO, regarding on-campus preservation

·6· and adaptive reuse planning as well.

·7· · · · · · ·So to illustrate the roadway changes that

·8· we are talking about, here is Gilbert Road.· You can

·9· see the 950 foot segment from Mansfield to Whitney

10· that will be converted to a pedestrian way.· Whitney

11· Road, there will be the removal of on-street parking,

12· approximately 40 spaces.· And then for Coventry and

13· Maple Lane, this portion of Maple Lane would be

14· closed and also closure of Coventry Road in this

15· section associated mostly with the Fine Arts

16· construction, Fine Arts Addition construction, and

17· then in that area associated mostly with the Honors

18· Hall construction.

19· · · · · · ·To dig a little deeper into the

20· programming associated with the two buildings that

21· will be constructed, we touched upon it before so I

22· will sort of review it very briefly.

23· · · · · · ·Within the Honors Residence Hall -- and

24· you can see a sort of schematic here showing both the

25· residential portion -- there will be offices as well,








·1· and dining.· This is Gilbert Road.· That will be

·2· converted to a pedestrian way as shown in this

·3· sketch.

·4· · · · · · ·So there will be student and staff

·5· residential space, both single and double bed areas,

·6· up to 650 beds; a resident room for a resident

·7· director and graduate assistant; floor common and

·8· support areas, things like lounges and studies; an

·9· Honors Program area, which will be office space, work

10· rooms, conference rooms; building common areas,

11· lobbies, lounges, laundry, seminar space, music

12· practice areas; building support and mechanical;

13· dining hall and also a dining hall space, which will

14· have up to 700 seats serving approximately 4,000 to

15· 4,500 meals per day along with the kitchen and

16· storage areas needed for that, and also a dedicated

17· delivery area that will be accessed from Bolton Road.

18· · · · · · ·For the Fine Arts Programming, there will

19· be a scene shop that will have these various

20· elements:· Welding, tools, props, production, a paint

21· shop, electrical lighting space, dressing rooms,

22· mechanical space, costume shop, as well as

23· administrative offices.· And you can see the Addition

24· shown here in this rendering, representation of where

25· it would go within the Fine Arts Complex.








·1· · · · · · ·So I will go briefly over alternatives

·2· just in the interest of time.· If anyone would like

·3· to need a pause and spend more time on an alternative

·4· than another, please feel free to indicate that and

·5· we can do that.

·6· · · · · · ·So CEPA requires the consideration of

·7· alternatives including the "No Action" alternative

·8· for a proposed action.

·9· · · · · · ·So for the Honors Residence Hall and

10· Dining Facility, there was the No Action alternative

11· considered, a site that was south of McMahon Hall, a

12· site on the S Lot parking lot, and then the South

13· Campus Residence Hall Complex area, Gilbert Road.

14· · · · · · ·So for the Fine Arts Production Facility,

15· the No Action alternative meant that there would be

16· the limited prop production space at Jorgensen would

17· continue to be used.· Other alternatives included the

18· Depot Campus, the S Lot again.· And important with

19· this element of the proposed action in particular is

20· that alternatives are really limited by location and

21· the need to support functions within the existing

22· Fine Arts building.

23· · · · · · ·For the removal of the Historic District

24· houses on Gilbert Road, there is the No Action

25· alternative, relocation of the two houses that are








·1· located south of Gilbert Road, and demolition of the

·2· two houses.

·3· · · · · · ·Partial closure of Gilbert Road, there was

·4· a No Action alternative or the proposed action to

·5· close the road and create the pedestrian way.

·6· · · · · · ·Closure, at least partial closure of

·7· Coventry Road and Maple Lane, there is No Action

·8· alternative, and then the alternative, to do a

·9· partial or complete closure and create a pedestrian

10· and emergency vehicle access area.

11· · · · · · ·To give you a sense for the Honors

12· Residence Hall, the three sites that were looked at

13· were south of McMahon, South Campus Residence Hall

14· Gilbert Road area, and S Lot.· The preferred

15· alternative was identified because this area was one

16· historically used for student housing in the past.

17· It had limited impact on parking, a loss of 55 to 60

18· spaces, available utilities in the area, and it was

19· consistent with the Master Plan.

20· · · · · · ·Other sites would require either a loss of

21· a significant amount of parking S Lot and potentially

22· also in conflict with long term development of a

23· woodland corridor in that area.· And the McMahon Hall

24· site, it was a sloping site with a shallow ledge.

25· Also there would be the need for removal of a roadway








·1· that currently connects Hillside Road to the Y lot,

·2· commuter student lot.

·3· · · · · · ·And, again, just to give you an overview

·4· of the residence hall and dining facilities, so here

·5· is Mansfield Road.· Here are the existing South

·6· Campus residence halls.· Here is the proposed Honors

·7· Residence Hall and Dining Facility in Gilbert Road

·8· converted to a pedestrian way from here to here.

·9· · · · · · ·The preferred alternative site on Gilbert

10· Road was anticipated to tie into central utilities.

11· It would have a dedicated emergency natural gas

12· generator.· It would be both a LEED Silver building

13· and comply with the state's high performance building

14· standards.

15· · · · · · ·So for the Fine Arts Production Facility

16· there was No Action.· Of course that would fail to

17· meet the needs of the Fine Arts Program.· Large

18· props, one of the constraints is that large props

19· cannot be worked on at Jorgensen and there is limited

20· space there which prohibits prop production during

21· when the theater is actually in use.

22· · · · · · ·The Depot Campus was considered, but it

23· was found to be too remote from the existing theater

24· locations, and no contiguous appropriately sized

25· space could be identified there.








·1· · · · · · ·The preferred alternative, which is the

·2· one that was shown earlier, connects to all the

·3· adjacent buildings.· It provides ease of circulation

·4· and a central gathering space.· It is central to the

·5· theater district of campus.· The program was peer

·6· reviewed for consistency with the needs of the Fine

·7· Arts Program.· It will result in the loss of

·8· approximately 28 to 34 parking spaces in the S Lot,

·9· but it is already a developed location on campus.

10· · · · · · ·So the Fine Arts Addition will also tie

11· into central utilities.· It will also be LEED Silver

12· and comply with the state's high performance building

13· standards.· And, again, here is just a figure showing

14· the Addition within the existing structures on

15· campus.

16· · · · · · ·And, finally, for the historic structures,

17· possibilities for alternatives included the No

18· Action.· That would prohibit construction of the

19· Honors Residence Hall because that proposed residence

20· hall is located -- the footprint of that is located

21· over two of those existing houses.

22· · · · · · ·There is the possibility of demolition or

23· relocation.· Mitigation would be required for either

24· option, and coordination with the State Historic

25· Preservation Office, the SHPO, would be necessary.








·1· · · · · · ·Demolition was recommended as the most

·2· feasible option or most feasible alternative based on

·3· the outcome of a condition and reuse assessment that

·4· was conducted late last year.· And UConn is

·5· coordinating the campus-wide preservation and

·6· adaptive reuse planning with the SHPO.

·7· · · · · · ·So now to focus in on really the heart of

·8· the EIE and the CEPA process, which is looking at

·9· environmental resources in the project area and

10· potential for impacts.

11· · · · · · ·So there are a few resources in the area

12· that are either not present or are not potential

13· significant issues given the type of projects

14· proposed.· There are no floodplains and no wetlands

15· in the project area.

16· · · · · · ·There is minimal parking demand and

17· traffic generation that is associated with the

18· projects.· There is some associated with support

19· staff and dining hall and production deliveries.

20· Overall, the potential for impact to reconfiguration

21· of the roadways on traffic circulation will be

22· evaluated in the EIE, but in terms of traffic

23· generation and parking, relatively little associated

24· with these two new construction projects.

25· · · · · · ·No pedestrian conflicts anticipated.· The








·1· projects are consistent with the Campus Master Plan,

·2· consistent with the existing land use and setting in

·3· the area, and utilities are available in both of

·4· these project areas.

·5· · · · · · ·And just to start with that, you can see

·6· the footprint of the proposed actions.· And just, in

·7· general, campus-wide utilities are throughout this

·8· area, so that is available for both of these

·9· projects.

10· · · · · · ·In terms of water resources, just to

11· orient you here, here is our proposed site.· Here is

12· Mirror Lake.· It is within the Roberts Brook

13· subwatershed, which is part of the Fenton River

14· Subregional Basin.

15· · · · · · ·Other alternative locations considered for

16· the Honors Residence Hall and for most of the Fine

17· Arts Addition with the exception of the Depot Campus

18· were also located within the same watershed.

19· Existing stormwater from this portion of the campus

20· discharges to Mirror Lake, and that would be proposed

21· to continue under the proposed action.

22· · · · · · ·Stormwater management is proposed to

23· mitigate peak flows from post-construction impervious

24· surfaces.· In terms of not stormwater but water

25· supply and water resources, as I think all of you








·1· know here, UConn is seeking a Connecticut DEEP

·2· diversion permit to augment the UConn water supply.

·3· We are in the process of obtaining that permit as a

·4· co-applicant with the Connecticut Water Company to

·5· augment the water supply.· And the selection of this

·6· alternative for future water supply was the outcome

·7· of the water supply plan EIE in 2012.· A draft permit

·8· is anticipated in the spring of 2015 with an

·9· operational date of late summer 2016.

10· · · · · · ·In terms of natural resources and

11· landscape in these project areas, two things to point

12· out:· One is that construction of the Honors

13· Residence Hall will require the removal of several

14· large trees, one of those noted as a "special tree"

15· which is the sweet gum tree located here.· That tree

16· is a mapped specimen on the Campus Tree Touring Guide

17· that was published by the Arboretum Committee, and

18· likely due to both its size and stature.· It is the

19· third largest of nearly 60 American sweet gums on

20· UConn's tree inventory database.· So it is for those

21· reasons noted as a special tree.· And it is

22· potentially in conflict with development.· The

23· Arboretum Committee is aware of the potential need to

24· remove this tree.· And the design team for this

25· project will submit a tree removal request form for








·1· further consideration by the Arboretum Committee

·2· members and the tree wardens.

·3· · · · · · ·The other element in this area is the

·4· Natural Diversity Database mapping.· And you can see

·5· here, here is our proposed project footprint.· There

·6· is an NDDB area mapped in this yellow hatched area.

·7· Based on correspondence with the Connecticut

·8· Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, as

·9· part of the Honors scoping process we learned that

10· the smooth green snake was the state species of

11· special concern that was located in the vicinity of

12· this area.· However, based on field evaluation by one

13· of our biologists, it was determined that would be

14· unlikely to exist in the project area given the very

15· developed nature of the campus here.

16· · · · · · ·In terms of cultural resources, we can see

17· that part of this project area is located within the

18· University of Connecticut National Register Historic

19· District, which is shown here in blue.· Construction

20· of the Honors Residence Hall, as I mentioned, will

21· require the demolition of two houses that are on the

22· south side of Gilbert Road, located roughly there.

23· · · · · · ·The University has begun consultation with

24· the State Historic Preservation Office regarding

25· potential impacts to these structures and to the








·1· District and other contributing structures within it

·2· and recently completed a historic structures

·3· condition assessment.· Based on that, demolition and

·4· then subsequent mitigation for those two structures

·5· was found to be the most feasible alternative.

·6· · · · · · ·To touch briefly on the conversion of the

·7· Gilbert Road site, so, again, just to orient us here,

·8· here is the conversion of Gilbert Road.· This will

·9· sort of enhance the pedestrian focus in this area of

10· campus.· It will result in subsequent improvements to

11· Whitney Road.· There will be some loss of parking

12· spaces, approximately 40 on Whitney Road and 18 in a

13· small -- approximately 18 in a small lot that is

14· located here under the existing conditions.· However,

15· this type of conversion and pedestrian focus in this

16· area is consistent with the Master Plan process.

17· · · · · · ·So to summarize, sort of our preliminary

18· direct impact screening, it is worthwhile noting that

19· in CEPA we look at both direct, indirect, and

20· cumulative impacts.· So direct impacts are ones that

21· occur in the same time and place as the project.

22· Indirect ones are ones that may result from the

23· project but may occur later in time or at a different

24· location.· And then we look at cumulative impacts,

25· which is the impact of these projects, this proposed








·1· action, along with other projects that may affect --

·2· significantly affect resources.

·3· · · · · · ·So to go briefly through the different

·4· environmental sectors that we look at in the CEPA

·5· process and to sort of at a preliminary point where

·6· we are at with our screening process.

·7· · · · · · ·So in terms of air quality, no negative

·8· impact is anticipated.· Any stationary sources

·9· associated with these projects would be included in

10· UConn's air quality permit, campus-wide air quality

11· permitting.

12· · · · · · ·In terms of noise, there is no negative

13· impact anticipated.· The types of building uses, the

14· noise generation will be consistent with the

15· residential and academic setting of these areas

16· already.

17· · · · · · ·In terms of water resources, there is no

18· negative impact is anticipated from the proposed

19· action.· Stormwater peak flow due to new impervious

20· area will be mitigated, as I mentioned earlier.

21· Projects will be subject to a flood management

22· certification from Connecticut DEEP.· There are no

23· floodplains also in the project area.

24· · · · · · ·There is no anticipated impact to water

25· supply resulting from the project.· The Honors








·1· Residence Hall EIE was actually included in the water

·2· supply plan, EIE ROD, Record of Decision, that was

·3· completed a few years ago.· The Fine Arts Addition

·4· will have negligible new demand given the types of

·5· functions within that space.· As I mentioned earlier,

·6· there is a draft permit for the Connecticut Water

·7· Company diversion that will be coming out soon

·8· hopefully, and then construction of the diversion

·9· beginning hopefully spring of this year into August

10· 2016.

11· · · · · · ·In terms of wetlands and natural

12· communities, we are at the edge of a Natural

13· Diversity Database Area, but the species is unlikely

14· to be present on the project site given the type of

15· species and the nature of the site.· No wetland

16· resources were observed in the field review.· Some

17· trees will be removed.· There is a landscape plan for

18· the site and there will be coordination regarding the

19· sweet gum tree that is a special tree on campus.

20· · · · · · ·In terms of geology and soil, no impact is

21· anticipated.· There are no unique, geologic features

22· or farmland soils in this area of campus.

23· · · · · · ·In terms of traffic, parking, and

24· circulation, negative impact is not anticipated.

25· There will be a loss of 55 to 60 spaces on Maple Lane








·1· and Whitney Road due to the Honors Residence Hall

·2· construction and the Gilbert Road conversion, an

·3· additional 28 to 34 parking spaces lost from the

·4· S Lot due to the Fine Arts Production Facility

·5· construction.

·6· · · · · · ·However, there will be minimal new vehicle

·7· trips created.· However, changes in traffic patterns

·8· will be assessed in the EIE.· The dining hall and

·9· production deliveries will be scheduled to minimize

10· any impacts associated with that traffic.· And also

11· in general the pedestrian character in this area will

12· be strengthened by the roadway conversions.

13· · · · · · ·No impact is anticipated in terms of

14· visual and aesthetic qualities.· The architecture

15· designs will be sensitive to the current visual

16· settings in this area of campus.

17· · · · · · ·In terms of cultural resources, the

18· removal of the two houses that are within and

19· contributing to the National Register Historic

20· District will be considered an impact that will need

21· to be mitigated.· Consultation with the SHPO has been

22· initiated.· And all in all this project will end up

23· being consistent with the campus-wide preservation

24· and adaptive reuse planning that will be done, again,

25· in consultation with the SHPO.








·1· · · · · · ·In terms of utilities and services, no

·2· negative impact is anticipated.· Utilities are

·3· already present in the project area.

·4· · · · · · ·Stormwater impacts will be evaluated in

·5· the context of South Campus Development in general,

·6· these projects together.· Underground detention has

·7· already been proposed of the Honors Residence Hall to

·8· mitigate peak flows.

·9· · · · · · ·And, finally, in terms of public health

10· and safety, there is no negative impact anticipated.

11· Public health and safety services are in place for

12· both residential students and also for the types of

13· activities that occur associated with Fine Arts

14· production.· These are already populations and

15· activity and uses that are going on, on campus that

16· are addressed by current public health and safety

17· measures and services in place.

18· · · · · · ·Similarly, no impact is anticipated with

19· solid waste or hazardous materials.· These are

20· typical waste streams in terms of residential and

21· dining facilities and also in terms of the production

22· studio, again, activities already occurring on

23· campus, already generating these types of waste

24· streams.

25· · · · · · ·No negative impact of socioeconomics is








·1· anticipated.· In fact, a socioeconomic benefit

·2· associated with improvements to campus is

·3· anticipated.

·4· · · · · · ·No negative impacts to land use planning

·5· will occur.· This project or these proposed actions

·6· are consistent with campus master planning as well as

·7· local, regional, and state planning.· The project

·8· area is located in a Balanced Priority Funding Area

·9· in the State Plan of Conservation and Development

10· Locational Guide Map.

11· · · · · · ·And, finally, in terms of energy use and

12· conservation, no impact is anticipated.· Both new

13· construction facilities -- or newly constructed

14· facilities will be LEED Silver or above and also will

15· meet the high performance building standards.

16· · · · · · ·It is worth noting that I mentioned just a

17· few moments ago that the EIE will address direct,

18· indirect, and cumulative impact.· So in addition to

19· addressing potential impacts associated directly with

20· the South Campus Development projects that we have

21· been talking about, secondary in cumulative impacts

22· from projects constructed during the period August

23· 2013 to 2015 as well as projects that will

24· foreseeably be constructed during 2015 to 2017 will

25· also be addressed in the South Campus Development








·1· CEPA process.

·2· · · · · · ·And so we have a figure here, and I will

·3· show you in a moment a list of those projects as

·4· well, kind of color coded.

·5· · · · · · ·We have our proposed action projects here.

·6· Then projects considered for cumulative analysis that

·7· are the 2013 to 2015 projects, so those include the

·8· basketball practice facility, a potential athletic

·9· facility building demolition, student union quad

10· renovations, art museum, Wood Hall quad renovations,

11· and the old central warehouse demolition.

12· · · · · · ·In addition, there are projects that are

13· reasonably foreseeable in the 2015 to 2017 time

14· frame.· And that includes the Innovation Partnership

15· Building up here on the North Campus -- North Campus

16· Road and Charter Oak Apartments just to orient you --

17· the Innovation Partnership Building, the completion

18· of the North Hillside Road Extension, the STEM

19· Residence Hall over here, Putnam Renovations also

20· located near STEM, Monteith Renovation, the Hammer/

21· Discus/Javelin throw down here, and the new

22· Engineering and Science Building up at the top and,

23· finally, the Main Accumulation Area here also on the

24· North Campus, so just to sort of orient you visually

25· and then just to give you a list of those, a few








·1· things to note about that.

·2· · · · · · ·So this table summarizes the projects that

·3· will explicitly be considered in the South Campus

·4· Development EIE.· Projects in this list that met or

·5· exceeded the threshold within the generic

·6· classification document, which is the document used

·7· to determine a CEPA threshold here in Connecticut,

·8· have followed the CEPA process and are indicated with

·9· an asterisk.

10· · · · · · ·So, for example, the Innovation

11· Partnership Building, North Hillside Road Extension,

12· STEM Residence Hall, Engineering and Science

13· Building, Main Accumulation Area, all of those

14· projects have gone through the CEPA process.· And

15· copies of the CEPA documents are available for those

16· as well.

17· · · · · · ·Other projects listed were not required --

18· did not require review under the CEPA process either

19· because they were renovation or demolition projects

20· of nonhistoric facilities or they did not involve a

21· change in use or they did not exceed the project size

22· thresholds in the prevailing environmental

23· classification document.

24· · · · · · ·So, again, just to show you where those

25· locations are for those projects that have an








·1· asterisk.· And they are also asterisks are present in

·2· the legend as well.· Copies of the CEPA documents are

·3· available at this website.

·4· · · · · · ·So, finally, project schedule:· So the

·5· 30 day CEPA public scoping period began on

·6· February 17th.· We are in that scoping period now.

·7· We have our scoping meeting tonight.· The end of the

·8· 30 day CEPA scoping period is March 19th, which is

·9· the last day for submission of comments on the

10· proposed action.

11· · · · · · ·And from there the CEPA process will

12· continue into early summer 2015 with the anticipated

13· start of construction being fall 2015 for the Honors

14· Residence Hall and winter 2016 for the Fine Arts

15· Production Facility, with occupancy targeted at the

16· fall semester 2017 for Honors and spring 2017 for

17· Fine Arts.

18· · · · · · ·In terms of comments, written comments

19· about the project or the CEPA process should be

20· submitted to Paul Ferri.· And his contact information

21· is here.· We also have comment forms.· If you would

22· like to leave a comment tonight, we have those as

23· well.· Comments will be accepted until the close of

24· business on March 19.

25· · · · · · ·I just want to also mention that those who








·1· already commented on the Honors Residence Hall are

·2· welcome to amend or replace what was previously

·3· provided as a comment.· So if you previously

·4· submitted during that scoping period and would like

·5· to offer a new comment, you are more than welcome to

·6· do that for the South Campus Development.

·7· · · · · · ·Verbal comments will be accepted tonight

·8· and recorded and used as we develop the EIE, and also

·9· written and verbal comments will be considered

10· overall in the CEPA process.

11· · · · · · ·So with that I think we will open up the

12· floor if there are comments.· And I will just say if

13· you do comment, it seems like this is a group that

14· knows, but if you do comment, if you could state your

15· name and if you represent a group or a municipality.

16· · · · · · ·BETSY PATERSON:· I am Betsy Paterson. I

17· am mayor of the Town of Mansfield.· And I am speaking

18· as from a personal tonight, not as mayor; okay.

19· Let's clarify that.· I just have a couple of

20· questions of curiosity.

21· · · · · · ·One, what is the total number of parking

22· places that will be lost on campus as a result of

23· this project?· Is it the 94 we saw or is it

24· additional?

25· · · · · · ·PAUL FERRI:· Do the math quickly in my








·1· head -- what are the ranges?· 20 to 34 plus 55 to 60?

·2· So you are looking at a range of 85 to 95?

·3· · · · · · ·BETSY PATERSON:· Okay.· And are there any

·4· plans out there to increase parking on campus,

·5· especially for people that come into campus to access

·6· it for a meeting or a cultural event or something?

·7· · · · · · ·PAUL FERRI:· The best thing to do is we

·8· will record the comment and make sure we address that

·9· in the EIE, because the scoping covers kind of the

10· initial proposal, and the details have not been fully

11· fleshed out into design.· We can better answer that

12· from the EIE.

13· · · · · · ·BETSY PATERSON:· Okay.· And then my only

14· other question, again, is just really one of

15· curiosity.· For those of you who may not know, I

16· spent 40 years on this campus working, so I know

17· parts of it pretty well.

18· · · · · · ·What number of students are currently

19· housed on campus out of the approximately 18,000?

20· Does anybody know that?

21· · · · · · ·BEVERLY WOOD:· About 12,000.

22· · · · · · ·BETSY PATERSON:· 12,000.· So it's still up

23· in the -- it used to be in the 70 to 75 percent

24· range?

25· · · · · · ·BEVERLY WOOD:· It fluctuates between 70








·1· and 72 percent.

·2· · · · · · ·BETSY PATERSON:· I would not ask these

·3· questions in a more public setting.· You don't have

·4· to quote that.· But I was just curious.

·5· · · · · · ·And the only students at this point in

·6· time that are required to be on campus are freshmen

·7· or is that not even a requirement anymore?

·8· · · · · · ·BEVERLY WOOD:· I don't think it's

·9· required, but that is something we have to check on.

10· · · · · · ·DIANE MAS:· I do know that freshman honors

11· students are required to be on campus.

12· · · · · · ·BETSY PATERSON:· Okay.· Years ago they

13· were required the first year to be on campus and

14· after that, you know, no.· Those are the only two

15· personal questions I had for you.

16· · · · · · ·LINDA PAINTER:· Linda Painter.· I am the

17· director of planning and development for the Town.

18· · · · · · ·In the parking vein, what is the parking

19· policy in terms of on-campus students in bringing

20· cars?· Is it limited to upper classmen?· I guess you

21· don't have to answer tonight, but that is one of my

22· questions given that we are adding another freshman

23· dorm, we are doing the STEM dorm, which is also

24· freshmen, I believe.· So I am curious as to the

25· parking policies and as we are adding students, how








·1· those parking policies are being adjusted to address

·2· the additional capacity in the dorms.

·3· · · · · · ·PAUL FERRI:· I can provide you some

·4· information regarding how these buildings address the

·5· students after this meeting that will be helpful.

·6· · · · · · ·LINDA PAINTER:· Okay.

·7· · · · · · ·JASON COITE:· Just for the record -- I

·8· will confirm this -- I do believe the number of

·9· credits a student needs to have in order to be

10· eligible for a parking pass is 58.· By and large,

11· that prevents -- not prevents but most freshmen are

12· therefore ineligible, a good portion of sophomores

13· are also ineligible, but some sophomores and

14· certainly juniors and seniors that are eligible for

15· such passes.· I will confirm that exact number.

16· · · · · · ·LINDA PAINTER:· Okay.

17· · · · · · ·BETSY PATERSON:· Just to add to that,

18· Jason, if they are ineligible for a UConn parking

19· pass, does that mean they are not allowed to come to

20· campus with a car or are they allowed to come and

21· find a place off campus?

22· · · · · · ·JASON COITE:· A very good question that we

23· will consider for the EIE.

24· · · · · · ·BETSY PATERSON:· Just curious; okay.

25· Thank you.








·1· · · · · · ·PAUL FERRI:· Any more questions from the

·2· public?

·3· · · · · · ·BETSY PATERSON:· How does it feel to be

·4· the "public"?

·5· · · · · · ·PAUL FERRI:· Shall we conclude?· We are

·6· concluding the scoping meeting.· And thank you,

·7· everyone.· The support staff from UConn is always

·8· nice to see.· Thank you everyone for coming to the

·9· scoping meeting tonight.

Scoping Notices

"Scoping" is for projects in the earliest stages of planning. At the scoping stage, detailed information on aproject's design, alternatives, and environmental impacts does not yet exist. Sponsoring agencies areasking for comments from other agencies and from the public as to the scope of alternatives andenvironmental impacts that should be considered for further study. Send your comments to the contactperson listed for the project by the date indicated.

The following Scoping Notice has been submitted for review and comment.

1. Notice of Scoping for Replacement of Bridge No. 03993 West Street overProvidence & Worcester Railroad

Municipality where proposed project might be located: Middletown, Connecticut

Address of Possible Project Location: West Street (between Middlefield Street and Butternut Street) overProvidence & Worcester Railroad

Project Description: The bridge is structurally deficient due to the poor condition of the superstructure andthe bridge is functionally obsolete due to inadequate bridge deck width, vertical underclearance, horizontalunderclearance, and approach roadway alignment.

The bridge carries one lane of traffic, and is controlled with an alternating oneway traffic pattern with stopsigns at both approaches to the bridge. The existing curbtocurb width of the bridge is 17 feet, and theestimated 2014 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) on West Street at this site is 4,260 vehicles per day.

The proposed bridge replacement will result in approximately 800feet of roadway reconstruction. Theexisting vertical underclearance of 18feet 1inch over the railroad at the bridge will be maintained in theproposed condition. The bridge replacement will consist of a new precast concrete deck unit superstructuresupported by new concrete abutments, concrete inline wingwalls, and mechanically stabilized earth walls. The foundation system of the bridge and walls will be constructed to facilitate undercutting (lowering) of therailroad if the tracks are lowered to provide 20feet 6inches of underclearance at the bridge as part of aseparate project in the future.

The proposed lane configuration of West Street consists of two 14foot travel lanes with a 5foot sidewalkalong the east side of the road. At the bridge, the roadway will narrow to 11.75 foot travel lanes toaccommodate for a 10foot wide sidewalk/multiuse path on the eastern side of the bridge. A 5foot widesidewalk will be continued north of the bridge and connect to the sidewalk terminus at the intersection ofRoute 157 and Route 66. A 5foot wide sidewalk will also extend from the proposed bridge to the existingsidewalk terminus located south of the bridge.

During construction, West Street will be closed at the bridge and traffic will be detoured via Route 157 toWadsworth Street. Route 157 is a twolane road and has an estimated 2012 Average Daily Traffic of 1,900vehicles. Wadsworth Street is a twolane road.

1. Notice of EIE for the University of Connecticut South Campus Development

1. Notice of EIE for the University of Connecticut South Campus Development

Municipality where project is proposed: Mansfield

Address of Possible Project Location: The area approximately bounded by Bolton Rd., Coventry Rd.,Mansfield Rd., and Whitney Rd. on the University of Connecticut Storrs Campus, Mansfield, Connecticut.

Project Description: The University of Connecticut (UConn) has prepared an Environmental ImpactEvaluation (EIE) pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding, executed in August 2015, with Connecticut’sOffice of Policy & Management and Department of Energy & Environmental Protection. UConn proposes toundertake the following projects in the area of the Storrs Campus known as the South Campus:

Construction of an approximately 30,000 gsf addition to the Fine Arts building to add production spaceincluding paint, scene, costume, and prop shops. The addition will extend north from the Nafe KatterTheatre and west from the DramaMusic Building and will results in the removal of approximately 81spaces from Lot 1.Removal of nine houses along Gilbert Road and Whitney Road that are contributing structures to theUniversity of Connecticut National Register Historic District.

The proposed Fine Arts addition will tie into campuswide central utilities (electricity, water, sanitary sewer,natural gas, stormwater, and telecommunications) and building construction will incorporate best practicesof sustainability with a minimum goal of Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Silver. UConnhas coordinated with the Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office to finalize a formal agreementidentifying mitigation measures for the removal of the cottages within the National Register HistoricDistrict.

UConn has prepared the EIE to further evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the Proposed Action,as well as other alternatives, including the No Action alternative. In addition to addressing potential impactsassociated with the South Campus Development, secondary and cumulative impacts resulting from projectsconstructed in 20132015, as well as projects that will foreseeably be constructed during 20162018 areaddressed in the SCD CEPA EIE.

get the win.The Pack need to continue their good road form because

they are at Albany tonight, then go to Bridgeport Saturday before hosting Portland Sunday afternoon (3 p.m.) in the XL Center. That’s followed by a mid-week trip to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton before a weekend home set against Bridgeport (Friday, January 29, 7:15 p.m.) and St. John’s (Saturday, January 30, 7 p.m.).

Monday’s win was Hartford’s seventh in its last 10 starts while Providence has gone 6-2-2 in the same period. Like Hartford, the P-Bruins aren’t loaded with elite talent just waiting for the call from Boston, but they do have prom-ising Russian forward Alexander Khokhlachev (12-22 — 34) and productive Seth Griffith (12-24 — 36) at the front of their attack.

Goaltending, split between Malcolm Subban (2.59 goals-against, .910 save percentage) and Zane McIntyre (2.93, .887) has been solid all season and the veteran Tommy

Cross, from Simsbury, adds an experienced presence for an otherwise young defense.

Quinnipiac tops pollsWith North Dakota losing once against Nebraska-Omaha

over the weekend, Quinnipiac took the No. 1 spot in both major Division I hockey polls and the Pairwise Ratings.

The Bobcats (19-1-4) were fortunate to avoid a major upset loss Tuesday night, getting two goals in the final 6:01 to grab a 3-3 tie at Maine on a night when they were far from sharp and the Black Bears took advantage. Maine led 3-2 and were on a power play with 3:18 left but immedi-ately took two penalties and that allowed Thomas Aldworth to tie it with 47 seconds remaining.

The weekly polls continue to focus on Quinnipiac, North Dakota, defending national champ Providence, St. Cloud State, Boston College and Michigan as the country’s elite. St. Cloud may be the darkhorse in the race as it actually leads North Dakota in the NCHC standings if not the polls. Michigan is also a hard team to figure, the top-scoring team in the country but one with defensive frailties. The

Wolverines tied Ohio State 5-5, then beat the Buckeyes 8-6 last weekend leading veteran coach Red Berenson to admit that perhaps his team thinks offense a bit too much.

Hockey East has five teams in the top 20, UMass-Lowell, Boston University and Notre Dame joining PC and BC in the top 15, while relative newcomer Penn State is ranked 14th in just its third season of major college hockey. Maybe that’s an indication of how quickly teams can crash the top level, something the University of Connecticut certainly hopes to do after its decision to embrace the challenge.

BC tops women’s pollLike Quinnipiac in the men’s game, Boston College

(24-0) is the No. 1 choice in women’s division polls. The Eagles, led by stars Alex Carpenter and Hayley Skarupa, got every first-place vote in the latest uscho.com poll, ahead of Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Quinnipiac women.

The Eagles won a big one Tuesday night, Meghan Graves getting both goals in a 2-0 win at Harvard.

Panthers surviveSTORRS — McKenna Dale (28

points, 12 rebounds) had a pair of blocked shots in the final 10 sec-onds of the fourth quarter as E.O. Smith held on for a 64-63 Central Connecticut Conference inter-division victory over Weaver.

Abby Vampatella (4 points) scored on a layup with 15 seconds remaining to give the Panthers (11-2) a 64-63 lead after letting a 15-point advantage slip away in the fourth quarter.

Cierra Brescia added 13 points and Isa Peczuh had 11 points in the victory.

Shaquana Edwards, who has signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Division I LaSalle University next year, scored

a game-high 43 points for the Beavers (11-3), who saw their 10-game winning streak come to an end.

Pirates rollBALTIC — Maria Tomas

popped in 13 points to help lead Parish Hill (7-8 overall, 6-2 league) to a 52-27 CSC East Division victory over Holy Family (1-10, 1-7).

BOYS SWIMMINGPanthers fall

MANSFIELD — Benji Harnisch finished first in the 100 freestyle (52.52) and Cole Tamburri won the 100 breast-stroke (1:07.44) as E.O. Smith/Tolland dropped a 96-87 CCC North-White Division dual meet to Wethersfield at Mansfield Community Center.

John Barrow, Cameron Graham, Daniel Broderick and Graham Ward placed first in the 400 freestyle relay (3:47.84) for the Panthers (4-3 overall, 0-1 North-White).

Schools(Continued from Page 9)

factor into any decision going forward. But however you slice it, Hightower and Collins have to be the priority. Hightower leads the defense and there’s a big dif-ference when he’s not in there. Collins, a game-changer, is just so freakishly good that you have to keep him.

4. DEEP THREATIt was a forgettable year for

Brandon LaFell, who had no targets in Sunday’s game. He just wasn’t the same player as the previous year. The foot issue that kept him off the field in the spring and summer left him behind and he never seemed to recover. Teams didn’t pay much attention to him, unless Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola weren’t playing. When the team needed LaFell, he just wasn’t able to deliver. Ditto Aaron Dobson, who once again found himself on injured reserve. After three injury-plagued seasons for

the wideout, it’s time to move on from Dobson.

5. DEPTH PIECESWhile Jonathan Freeny proved

a good addition at linebacker, Jonathan Bostic, who arrived in a trade from Chicago for a sixth-round draft choice, was a bust. The Pats need more quality depth at linebacker to either complement, or fill in for Hightower and Collins when they’re out. They might also think about adding depth at cornerback or someone to chal-lenge Logan Ryan and Butler. Competition is always good. Justin Coleman came on down the stretch as the nickel back, but the Pats secondary still bent quite a bit, particularly against the better QBs. They obviously did a good job against Peyton Manning, particularly in the sec-ond half, but imagine if they had to play him in his prime?

Toronto rallies to stun B’sReuters

BOSTON — The Toronto Maple Leafs, down by two goals in the third period, forced overtime and got a power-play goal from right winger Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau at 3:06 of overtime to shock the Boston Bruins, 4-3, in the post All-Star Game opener for both teams on Tuesday.

Center David Krejci, who set up one goal and scored another 26 seconds apart early in the third period, was off for holding when Parenteau beat Tuukka Rask with a rebound backhander to end Toronto’s 4-game losing streak and give the Maple Leafs (18-22-9) their second win in the last 11 games.

The power play goal, Parenteau’s 12th goal of the season, snapped an 0-for-28 power play spell for the Leafs and was Toronto’s third power-play goal in its last 52 attempts.

Goaltender James Reimer, playing in his 200th NHL game, made 39 saves and helped the Maple Leafs to their first in five decisions in the 5-minute overtime this season.

It was also Toronto’s first win within the Atlantic Division — the Leafs improving to 1-7-6 against division foes.

The Bruins (26-18-6) lost for the seventh time in their last 10 home games and fell to 11-13-3 on home ice this season.

The Bruins took a 3-1 lead on two goals in 26 seconds at the start of the third period with Krejci setting up left winger Brad Marchand’s second goal of the game and scoring himself at 1:21.

A team that has struggled at home all season lost the lead, with centers Leo Komarov and Nazem

Kadri beating Rask on tip-ins. Komarov, fresh off his All-Star appearance, assisted on Kadri’s tying goal at 11:31 after scoring his 17th at 9:02, while Kadri had an assist on the winner.

The first three goals by the visitors against Rask (31 saves) came on deflections.

The Maple Leafs had 11 goals in their previous 10 games and eight in the nine losses in those 10 games.

Defenseman Roman Polak had two assists for Toronto.

Marchand, who opened the scoring in the first period, has seven goals in the last seven games, while Krejci has a goal and four assists in five games since returning from a shoulder injury that cost him 10 games.

Marchand had a third-period goal disallowed against the Maple Leafs on their first visit this sea-son, but scored the winner in the final minute. On Tuesday, he pounced on the rebound of a shot by right winger Jimmy Hayes and slammed the puck home.

The play was reviewed because Bruins left winger Matt Beleskey and Toronto defenseman Morgan Rielly were close to Reimer as the stick came out of the goalie’s hands.

Reimer argued but the goal stood, and the Maple Leafs lost the challenge and their timeout.

The Leafs, looking more disciplined under Mike Babcock in his first season as the coach, continued playing their positions and it paid off at 9:56 of the second period. Polak got his right point shot away on his second try and Winnik tipped it home to tie the game.

Celtics shade Knickslong distance calls, they were still down just 47-45 at the break.

The turnaround came courtesy of better ball movement. After assisting on just six of their 17 first half field goals, Celtics pass-ers had a hand in the first five third quarter hoops and 9-of-11 in the period. That led to 11-for-21 shooting in the inning and a 70-65 lead entering the final quarter.

Olynyk then scored on a putback and followed with two free throws on the next possession, and Zeller scored inside to complete a 6-0 run to start the fourth. Dating back to the previous period, it was eight straight points and a 16-3

overall run to a 76-65 lead.The Knicks made a brief run

to get within four, but the C’s kept making plays, increased the margin and held on rather easily from there.

It was a long way from the first quarter when the Celtics missed their first four field goals — all 3-pointers — and went 0-for-2 from the line while the Knicks fashioned a 9-0 start.

The Celts then got a jump-start on their come-back courtesy of Anthony’s right elbow. Crowder was defending Anthony in an up close and personal manner, and the latter swung his elbows twice.

On the second pass he caught Crowder in the face.

While the Celtics forward received attention from the train-ing staff, Knicks coach Derek Fisher argued Anthony’s offensive foul call into a technical.

The officials then reviewed the play and ruled it a Flagrant 1 foul on Anthony.

Thomas hit the Fisher tech free throw, and Crowder hit the two for Anthony’s flagrant. The C’s then got a Crowder jumper from the right wing on the ensuing pos-session, making it a productive 5-point trip up the floor.

This section contains responses to the substantive issues raised in the comments on the EIE in accordancewith CEPA requirements. Specific comments are numbered in the margins of each comment letter. Thecomment numbers are referenced in the corresponding responses below.

Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (March 4, 2016 Letter)

DEEP Comment 1Stormwater Management/Low Impact Development: DEEP encourages the University to specify the LIDtechniques that will be used as part of the project. DEEP urges the University to incorporate low impactdevelopment (LID) or green infrastructure principles and practices into the design, construction andmaintenance of the new fine arts production facility. DEEP states that the University should use the LIDchecklist created as part of the expanded University review of processes and procedures for on-campusconstruction and redevelopment projects

2

Response: The University remains committed to the use of low impact development (LID) and greeninfrastructure where feasible in development and redevelopment projects. Stormwater management at theFine Arts Production Facility will include the following elements:

· The drainage system will include deep sump catch basins and a hydrodynamic separator or similarunderground water quality structure to treat runoff from the parking lot adjacent to the Fine ArtsProduction Facility.

· Non-structural source controls and pollution prevention measures (parking lot sweeping, catch basincleaning, drainage system and stormwater treatment system operation and maintenance, etc.) will beimplemented after construction of the proposed project.

· Conversion of some existing impervious surface to green space as part of the initial phase of theSouth Woodland Corridor.

· The project area will eventually tie into the South Woodland Corridor which is a major LID/greeninfrastructure initiative in the South Campus area, as described in the Sustainability Framework of the2015 Campus Master Plan

The LID checklist referred to in the comment was originally designed for projects within the Eagleville Brookwatershed. Although the SCD is outside of the Eagleville Brook watershed, LID was assessed in the samemanner outlined by the Eagleville Brook Watershed checklist.

DEEP Comment 2Student Population: DEEP asks for a table showing the various categories of historic, existing and projectedpopulation (residential or employment) at the campus, including student enrollment, university staffing levels,numbers of private company employees providing services at the campus, numbers of employees at theTechnology Park, etc.

Response: Information utilized for the cumulative impact assessment draws on a variety of sources includingthe campus Master Plan and other studies and documents related to utilities and traffic on the Storrs Campus.Traffic-related impacts were assessed using trip generation rates, as is the standard for traffic impactassessment. The University has stated more recently that undergraduate enrollment is anticipated to remainrelatively stable due to current operating budget projections, with the incoming Fall 2016 freshman classremaining level with the Fall 2015 freshman enrollment and increases of only 100-200 undergraduate studentsin the next few years. The number of potential employees at the Technology Park will depend on numerousfactors and cannot be reliably forecast. Similarly, the number of private company employees on campus canvary depending on ongoing projects and services. However, readily available data on student, faculty and staffpopulations is provided in the table below.

DEEP Comment 3Stormwater Management – Cumulative Impact Analysis: DEEP acknowledges that the assessment of thecumulative impact of stormwater will await the completion of the updated Campus Drainage Master Plancurrently being developed.

Response: No response required.

DEEP Comment 4Wastewater Management: DEEP asks that the cumulative impact analysis discuss the treatment capacity atthe UConn wastewater treatment facility.

Response: Given the current excess capacity in the University WWTF and the minor increase in flows(~1,500 gpd) associated with the Fine Arts Production Facility, the potential for cumulative impacts towastewater treatment capacity was considered insignificant.

DEEP Comment 5Hazard Materials or Waste Management: DEEP encourages the University to design the stormwatermanagement system at the Fine Arts Building with additional BMPs if the loading and unloading ofhazardous materials or waste is anticipated.

Response: The current design of the Fine Arts Production Facility does include a loading dock canopyproviding full coverage and a 2-ft overhang. Covered dumpsters are provided for disposal of large items suchas props and scenery. Although emergency spill shut-off values and bermed enclosures for dumpsters are notincluded, a spill mat will be readily available to the loading dock area. Any hazardous wastes (i.e., paint andrelated materials) will be handled and disposed of in compliance with the University’s Environmental Healthand Safety policies for satellite management areas.

DEEP Comment 6Electric Vehicle Charging Stations: DEEP encourages the University to include Level 2 electric vehiclecharging stations in the production facility building design.

Response: While electrical vehicle charging stations are not included in the Fine Arts Production Facilitydesign, the University is considering inclusion of a station in the South Campus Area as part of the finaldesign. Currently, the University provides 5 vehicle charging stations on campus and additional charginglocations are available in Mansfield.

DEEP Comment 7Construction Vehicles: DEEP encourages the use of newer off-road construction equipment that meets thelatest EPA or California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards. If that newer equipment cannot be used,DEEP urges the University to require equipment with the best available controls on diesel emissionsincluding retrofitting with diesel oxidation catalysts or particulate filters in addition to the use of ultra-lowsulfur fuel. DEEP asks the idling restrictions be included that are similar to those in the CT Division ofConstruction Services requirements for contractors.

Response: The University’s “Environmental, Health, and Safety Requirements for Construction, Service, andMaintenance Contractors” outlines contractor air pollution control requirements for constructionvehicles/equipment for University construction projects. The University has also updated their Division 1contract specifications to include air pollution control requirements similar to that of the CT DASDepartment Division of Construction Services. In addition to the following language, the University isemphasizing that newer equipment with built-in air pollution controls, rather than retrofit equipment, ispreferred for all construction vehicles:

· Contractors shall retain fuel slips for construction vehicles/equipment that are refueled on site. Lowsulfur diesel fuels or “biofuels” are required.

· Vehicles shall not be operated near building fresh air intakes, and shall be equipped with exhaustscrubbers to minimize impact to indoor air quality.

· Equipment shall not be allowed to idle for excessive periods of time when not in use. Connecticutlaw prohibits vehicles of all kinds from unnecessary idling for more than 3 minutes. Provisions aremade for weather extremes, certain service vehicles and health related conditions (RCSA 22a-174-18).This regulation applies to ALL vehicles in Connecticut.

· Solvent or other noxious emissions shall be evaluated as part of the work planning process todetermine engineering control requirements prior to field implementation of the scope of work.

DPH Comment 1Radon: CTDPH encourages the University to include radon resistant features during the construction of thebuildings.

Response: The proposed project is a non-residential building that does not include a basement level. UConnappreciates the comments regarding radon, but given the design and use of the building, no radon resistantfeatures are currently planned.

Mansfield Town Council and Planning and Zoning Commission (March 1, 2016 Letter)

Town of Mansfield Comment 1Elimination of Honors Residence Hall: The Mansfield Town Council and Planning and Zoning Commissionencourages the University to move forward with the Honors Residence Hall project because of studenthousing needs.

Response: Data collected by UConn shows that undergraduate enrollment over the past 5 years (Fall 2011 toFall 2015) increased from 17,450 to 18,451 (~5.7%). New freshman enrollment for Fall 2016 is anticipated toremain the same (3,800) as Fall 2015. While NextGen identified goals for enrollment growth, actualenrollment growth must be tied to the UConn operational budget. Enrollment growth is not sustainablewithout operational funds and based on current forecasts of UConn’s operational budget, a flattening ofenrollment is anticipated. In the near term, UConn anticipates only an additional 100-200 undergraduatesenrolled beyond the Fall 2016 enrollment levels.

The comment is correct that the demolition of Connecticut Commons and the construction of the NextGenResidence Hall will result in a net gain of 290 beds. However, there can be no “loss” of beds that do not exist,therefore the statement that the suspension of the Honors Residence Hall construction will result in a “loss”of 360 beds is not correct.

UConn continues to provide one of the highest percentages of on-campus housing (71%) for undergraduatesamong the U.S. News and World Report Top 50 Public National Universities. Approximately 96% offreshmen and a similar high percentage of sophomores reside in on-campus housing. UConn has beenconsistently able to meet the student requests for on-campus housing. Despite on-campus housingavailability, some students choose to live off campus. Students seeking off-campus housing is not a responseto lack of availability of on-campus housing. Local zoning and enforcement will continue to be an importanttool in shaping off-campus housing. UConn will continue to work with the Town to address the balance ofstudent housing opportunities provided by the private sector in the community and the housing inventorymaintained on the campus. This balance is critical to both town planning and university planning to assureadequate inventories, economic viability and appropriate choices for students

Goals articulated in the Master Plan, while intended to provide a framework for campus development, mustbe flexible in response to the reality of budget constraints and changes that are external to and beyond thecontrol of UConn (i.e., private development). Therefore, elements of the Master Plan may not be achieved ormay not be achieved exactly as envisioned in 2015, or may not be achieved within the timeframe identified inthe Master Plan. Decisions regarding new development are grounded in the Campus Master Plan framework,and modified only after considering the effects on the overall development pattern of the campus. UConn’scurrent proposed action is consistent with the Mansfield Tomorrow POCD given that percentage ofundergraduates housed on campus is currently approximately 70%, Fall 2016 enrollment is not planned torise over Fall 2015 levels, and at the completion of the NextGen Residence Hall, the campus will experience anet gain of 290 beds.

Town of Mansfield Comment 2Traffic Impacts: The Mansfield Town Council and Planning and Zoning Commission states that theelimination of the Honors Residence Hall will have impacts on local roads.

Response: As stated in the response to Comment 1, with the construction of the NextGen Residence Hall,there will be a net increase in 290 beds on the UConn campus. Given the high percentage of undergraduatestudent housed on campus and the ability of the University to meet student housing demand, there is noindication that the suspension of the construction of the Honors Residence Hall will create an off- campushousing demand and any subsequent traffic impacts.

Town of Mansfield Comment 3Master Traffic Study: The Mansfield Town Council and Planning and Zoning Commission requests reviewof the yet-to-be-published traffic study for the Campus Master Plan.

Response: The University will share the findings of the study with the appropriate agencies.

Town of Mansfield Comment 4Parking: The Mansfield Town Council and Planning and Zoning Commission asks that the University workwith the Town to identify specific measures to reduce the impact of the parking reduction until additionalparking is constructed.

Response: The Fine Arts Production Facility is anticipated to generate few additional vehicle trips or newparking demand. As a result, it is not anticipated to result in any increased demand for off-campus parking onlocal roads. Nevertheless, the University will continue to work with the Town to address parking concerns.

Town of Mansfield Comment 5Stormwater: The Mansfield Town Council and Planning and Zoning Commission requests review of the yet-to-be-published Campus Drainage Master Plan update.

Response: The University will share the findings of the study with the appropriate agencies.

Town of Mansfield Comment 6Cultural Resources: The Mansfield Town Council and Planning and Zoning Commission encourages theUniversity to include protection and restoration of the façade and exterior of the Joseph Storrs/RosebrooksHouse in the plan.

Response: The University is in the process of developing a campus-wide historic preservation and adaptivereuse plan for structures in the University of Connecticut Historic District and other structures on campuslisted on the National Register of Historic Places. There are no plans to remove the JosephStorrs/Rosebrooks House, which is not located in the South Campus Area, and that structure has beenstabilized.

Private Citizen - Ms. Alison Hilding, Storrs, CT (March 4, 2016 Letter)

Hilding Comment 1Housing Impact Analysis: Ms. Hilding suggests that UConn should address both short-term and long-termneed for housing its student population and consider housing needs of the surrounding community ofMansfield.

Response: Consistent with CEPA, the EIE is focused on the Proposed Action described in the document.Cumulative impacts are to be addressed under CEPA when there is potential for the Proposed Action,combined with other University actions, to create an effect. The Proposed Action does not (a) removehousing from the existing UConn housing stock (the commenter is incorrect that the cottages to be movedon Gilbert Road are part of the UConn housing stock) or (b) create a need for new housing, given that theFine Arts Production Facility is the consolidation of existing activities already occurring on campus.Consequently, the cumulative impact analysis presented in the EIE is appropriate for the Proposed Action.

Based on reasonably foreseeable information regarding the University operating budget, a significant increasein enrollment is not expected. Fall 2016 freshman admissions are planned to stay level with Fall 2015admissions and, in the near term, UConn anticipates only an additional 100-200 undergraduates enrolledbeyond the Fall 2016 enrollment levels. It is this anticipated flattening of enrollment that resulted in thesuspension of the Honors Residence Hall development; therefore, an analysis of housing is not warranted aspart of this EIE.

Removal of the cottages on Gilbert Road is an action identified in the Master Plan as part of the re-visioningof the South Campus area. As discussed in the EIE, the removal of the nine cottages, six of which arecurrently vacant, is based on their age, limited use to the University, poor condition of theirelectrical/mechanical systems, and lack of accessibility accommodation. Their removal is an action that theUniversity foresees within the near future. Although the Master Plan envisions redevelopment of that area ofcampus, the nature of that development is not currently known with certainty and could not be reasonablyassessed in this EIE document. If redevelopment of that area eventually includes actions subject to CEPA,those actions will be addressed by the CEPA process at that time. The removal of the cottages therefore hasindependent utility (i.e., it is an action that has a purpose even if other projects are not undertaken and it isnot dependent upon subsequent actions) and it is appropriate that it be addressed in this EIE.

Hilding Comment 2Impacts of Multiple Projects: Ms. Hilding suggests that a programmatic Environmental Impact Evaluation(EIE) is the best approach to avoid segmenting projects and recommends developing a cumulative EIE thatreviews UConn’s 10-year development plan.

Response: A meaningful analysis under CEPA requires that actions are reasonably foreseeable; analysis ofpotential actions in flux or impossible to meaningfully quantify does not fulfill, nor is it consistent with, theintent of CEPA. Through the cumulative impact analysis required in every CEPA document, an assessmentof the past, present, and reasonably foreseeable actions of the University is performed, avoiding segmentingand enabling the cumulative impact assessment required under CEPA.

When timing is conducive, and as authorized, projects are bundled together for purposes of environmentalanalysis. Groupings of projects will continue to be evaluated when their timing, location, and nature warrantsuch an approach. The University is providing proper and appropriate compliance with CEPA through thisEIE. The preparation of a Master Plan EIE by UConn is not authorized.

Hilding Comment 3Community Impact: Ms. Hilding requests data and analysis on student enrollment and suggests that UConnconsider providing 90 to 100% of the housing needs of undergraduates. She further suggests that studentsliving off-campus will put a greater demand on Mansfield’s community services.

Response: The purpose of the scoping process is to provide the public and other state agencies with earlynotice of actions subject to CEPA that are under consideration by the University. CEPA does not prohibitchanges, particularly, reduction of the Proposed Action, throughout the CEPA process. Because removal ofthe cottages and construction of the Fine Arts Production Facility were addressed in scoping, there is no needor precedent under CEPA to re-scope or restart the EIE process to address the elements of the ProposedAction described in the EIE.

Consistent with the CEPA statute and regulations and the Environmental Classification Document applicableto the University, this EIE addresses Proposed Actions subject to CEPA. These actions (i.e., removal ofcottages and construction of the Fine Arts Production Facility) are not related to housing. The University didcomplete an EIE for the NextGen (STEM) Residence Hall, which was appropriate under CEPA given thesize of the project relative to CEPA review thresholds.

UConn currently provides on-campus housing for nearly 71% of undergraduates, including approximately96% of freshman and most sophomores. Based on the student requests for on-campus housing, there is nodemand for 90-100% of undergraduate housing on campus. The University anticipates that providing housingfor 100% of undergraduate students would result in roughly a 25-30% vacancy rate in on-campus housingstock given the demonstrated housing preferences of students. The University cannot control studentpreferences for housing, the actions of private developers, or decisions of local communities to regulate andenforce zoning. However, the University has successfully increased housing stock over the past 10 years inresponse to previous increases in enrollment and has continued to provide on-campus housing to all studentsrequesting it. The net addition of 290 beds with the construction of the NextGen Residence Hall willcontinue to support that effort.
