Voluntary Remediation Programs

There are two voluntary remediation programs in Connecticut under Connecticut General Statutes (CGS) sections 22a-133x and 22a-133y. Both programs are an elective process for property owners who wish to expedite the remediation of polluted property, thus enabling them the advantage of a remediated site should they ever decide to sell the property. The Voluntary Remediation Program under CGS section 22a-133x is available to any person for any site.
