Emergency Burn Ban In Effect 10/26/24 - An emergency burn ban is now in effect for all Connecticut State Parks, Forests, and Wildlife Management areas, prohibiting the use of all outdoor grills, firepits, and campfires, and the kindling and use of flame outdoors. DEEP and local agencies are working to contain several active fires across the state. Please avoid all affected State Parks and Forests, as well as the blue-blazed Mattabesett Trail. The Enduro Trail in Voluntown and portions of North Stonington within the Pachaug State Forest are closed at this time. Rocky Neck State Park is also closed until further notice due to a brush fire. Please note that today's forest fire danger report remains at a 'very high' or 'extreme' level. More information about the current fire danger, burn ban and recommended safety measures can be found here

Annual Summary Information for Ozone

Prior to 2008, the 8-hour ozone exceedance day tables reflect the 1997 NAAQS (84 ppb) and from 2008 forward, the tables reflect the 2008 NAAQS (75 ppb).  Tables from 2016 forward reflect the 2015 NAAQS (70 ppb). EPA's 2004 Implementation Rule revoked the 1-hour NAAQS, effective June 15, 2005, but states are not allowed to backslide from existing 1-hour ozone requirements. Note that the ozone season was expanded in 2017 to include March through September.
