Permitting could take up to a year; committee hands project to municipalities for final approvals
Summary
B&L's timeline lists multi-agency permitting (CTDEEP/USACE 401/404) that may take up to a year, SHPO review, and other permit windows; the committee marked Meeting #18 as handover to the City of Danbury for oversight and recommended municipalities set workshop structures.
The consultant outlined a phased schedule and agency review windows that could extend the project timeline: local inland wetlands reviews (~65 days), CT State Historic Preservation Office (45 days), CTDEEP/USACE 401/404 permitting (up to one year), and other state-level reviews such as CTDEEP stormwater (60–90 days) and possible Environmental Impact Evaluation (3–6 months if required).
Slides identified Phase 4 for final design, permitting and bidding in summer/fall 2026 and show Meeting #18 (Aug. 19, 2026) as the project handover to the City of Danbury for oversight and permitting. Chair Robinson told the committee municipalities will recommend workshop structure while municipal engineers will address detailed design and permitting needs.
Given the multiple reviews and potential federal coordination for eagle impacts, committee members acknowledged permitting could be the lengthiest phase and recommended clear handoff and communication materials be sent to B&L and municipal staff.
