Remediation Standard Regulations

The Remediation Division's goal is to clean up contaminated sites to meet the Remediation Standard Regulations, which ensure protection of human health and the environment. 

Release-Based Clean Up Program Regulation Development

Under a release-based system, Connecticut’s cleanup framework will be aligned with 48 other states and will maintain environmental protections important to the state’s public health, water, and natural resources.  DEEP and DECD will co-chair a working group to receive advice and feedback for regulations to be adopted by DEEP.

Contaminated sites can impact the quality of our land, groundwater, surface water and air. The Remediation Division oversees the investigation and remediation of environmental contamination and redevelopment of certain contaminated properties.
