Materials Management

DEEP headquarters at 79 Elm Street in Hartford is currently closed due to recent water damage impacting multiple areas of the building. We are working to remediate the situation and get the building back open to staff and the public as soon as possible. While the building is closed, Staff continue to work either remotely or in alternate locations. We continue to be able to receive documents via U.S. Mail or courier service, and our electronic file submittal protocols remain unchanged. For updates, please click here

Materials Management

The DEEP has several programs that work to ensure the proper management – handling, use, and disposal – of materials including pesticides, mercury, PCBs, and petroleum products. Through a number of different mechanisms – outreach and education, product handling efforts and phase outs, training, and regulatory activity – the Department is working to develop better stewardship of these materials to protect environmental quality and public safety.
