United States Coast Guard Releases Final Supplemental Environmental Assessment for Public Comment 

New London, CT – The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is pleased to announce that the draft Final Supplemental Environmental Assessment (Final SEA) for the planned construction of the National Coast Guard Museum by the National Coast Guard Museum Association in the City of New London is ready for public review. 

The initial draft SEA was released for public comment on August 1, 2018, however, since the previous publication, updates to the draft Final SEA were made in consideration of comments received from various stakeholders. Consultation with stakeholders remained an on-going effort since the previous release and results were incorporated accordingly. Notable highlights include design modifications related to coordination with the Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office and local Tribes, consistency with Connecticut Coastal Management Act, and submission for required federal and state permits related to proposed work to take place within waters of the U.S./State. Subsequently, the USCG is releasing the document for an additional public comment period reflecting the results of the extensive consultation efforts undertaken to finalize the draft Final SEA.
