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

Remediation Division Contacts

The Remediation Division within the Bureau of Water Protection and Land Reuse is organized into five districts (geographic regions along municipal boundaries). All program areas - Property Transfer, Voluntary Remediation, Brownfields, Federal Superfund, State Superfund, Potable Water, RCRA Closure and Corrective Action, and Significant Environmental Hazards are managed within the individual districts.

A Technical and Compliance Support Group for Remediation Programs addresses aspects of the Remediation Programs that are not related to a specific site, including revisions to the regulations, outreach, development of guidance documents, the Licensed Environmental Professional (LEP) program, property transfer filings, federal grants, RCRA Corrective Action coordination, contaminants of emerging concern, and information management.
