Norwich Bulletin coverage

April 2026 Reporting on the Proposed Plant’s Permit Status

The Norwich Bulletin reported statements from SMART about applications and anticipated future filings. Those statements are useful leads, but the agency record determines the legal status.

What the report said

The article reported that SMART manager Bill Corvo said the company had filed an air permit and solid-waste plan with CT DEEP. It also described additional building, stormwater, wastewater, federal and Siting Council steps as anticipated rather than completed.

What controls the status

A company statement that a document was filed is not the same as an agency finding that an application is sufficient, technically complete or approved. The site’s permit-status page tracks public agency records and separates those stages.
