• Final SCGD

  The Site Characterization Guidance Document describes DEEP's recommendations for the investigation of properties and the suggested content of documentation that presents the facts and findings of site characterization by environmental professionals responsible for designing, conducting, and documenting site investigations and by any parties/persons required by law to conduct an investigation of a property in accordance with prevailing standards and guidelines.

• Brownfields in Connecticut

  DEEP’s Remediation Division oversees the assessment and cleanup of brownfields, sites that are abandoned or underutilized due to the presence or potential presence of pollution, to return them to productive use.

• Guidance

  Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection Remediation Division guidance documents

• Remediation Standard Regulations Fact Sheet

  Connecticut's Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs) provide detailed guidance and standards that may be used at any site to determine whether or not remediation of contamination is necessary to protect human health and the environment.

• Remediation Standard Regulations

  Connecticut's Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs) specify the standards for the remediation of environmental pollution in soil and groundwater.

• Wave 2 Revision Concepts and History

  The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) presented proposed concepts in the RSR Wave 2 Conceptual Language document, as well as at multiple question and answer sessions and accepted public feedback regarding revisions to the Remediation Standard Regulations.

• 1996 RSR Criteria Derivation

  The Remediation Standard Regulations that established the requirements for the remediation of contamination within Connecticut were organized by environmental media and relied, in part, on risk-based criteria that established remediation goals for various contaminants typically found at remediation sites.

• Transmittal of Documents

  The Remediation Division and LUST Coordination Program are now accepting specific types of documents electronically , while other documents require the Hardcopy Document Transmittal Form.

• Funding Sources

  Potential brownfields funding sources.

• Licensed Environmental Professional (LEP) Verification Audit Program

  The purpose of the Licensed Environmental Professional (LEP) Verification Audit Program is to ensure that the opinions ("verifications") of the LEP are based on an appropriate understanding of the environmental conditions of the site and that the verification is in compliance with all applicable statutes and regulations, including the Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs).

• LEP Verifications

  In specific circumstances, an environmental professional licensed pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes Section 22a-133v may verify that an investigation of a specific property/establishment/release area/portion of a property has been completed in accordance with prevailing standards and guidelines, and that all applicable releases have been remediated in accordance with the Remediation Standard Regulations.

• Comprehensive Evaluation and Transformation Main Page

  To further Connecticut’s environmental and economic agenda, the State is working with stakeholders to transform the State's cleanup laws and regulations with the goal of achieving more cleanups more efficiently and effectively.

• Soil Preservation Guidance for VOCs

  The Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) has issued a final guidance document describing soil sample collection and preservation techniques designed to minimize volatile organic compound losses due to volatilization and biodegradation.

• Well Receptor Guidance

  Guidance for persons who are required to investigate and remediate polluted or potentially polluted sites must consider the need to conduct a detailed water supply well receptor survey in order to assess whether an on-site groundwater pollution plume may, or can be reasonably expected to, adversely affect public or private water supply wells on and off-site.

• Ecological Risk Assessment Guidance

  Ecological Risk Assessment is a structured scientific evaluation of the potential for harm to occur to ecological receptors as a result of exposure to some stressor, often an exposure to chemical contamination.
