Connecticut General Statutes Section 4b-47 provides for public notice of proposed transfers of state-owned lands out of state ownership. The notice process takes place in steps.
The Commissioner of Environmental Protection may choose to evaluate the property more thoroughly and recommend preservation of the property or restrictions on the transfer. Step III is publication of the Commissioner's report and draft recommendations, and includes a 30-day public comment period. Step IV is publication of the Commissioner’s responses to any public comments along with the Commissioner's final recommendations regarding the property.
Step V is publication of OPM’s final determination regarding disposition of the property. Fifteen days after this posting the transfer may proceed.
IMPORTANT: Most proposed transfers are not required to go through all five steps. The land may be sold or transferred 15 days after the close of the comment period of Step I if no comments are received. If comments are received, and the DEP does not elect to conduct and publish a more thorough study of the property, the land may be sold or transferred 15 days after publication of the comments and responses under Step II.
STEP II
Public comments regarding proposed transfers that were posted previously (Step I) in the Environmental Monitor, and OPM's responses to those comments
This step is contingent upon the receipt of public comments in Step I. It is not required if no comments were received. Unless the Commissioner of Environmental Protection elects to study the property more thoroughly and publish a report with draft recommendations (see Step III), the transfer may proceed 15 days after publication. The following Step II Notice has been submitted for this edition.
Draft recommendations of the Commissioner of Environmental Protection regarding preservation of properties proposed for transfer
This step is required only if the Commissioner of Environmental Protection recommends preservation of all or part of a property, which may include restrictions on the transfer. This step includes a 30-day public comment period. Any comments received will be published in a future edition of the Environmental Monitor under Step IV, along with the Commissioner's responses and final recommendation.
Final recommendations of the Commissioner of Environmental Protection regarding disposition of properties proposed for transfer, along with comments and responses from Step III.
This step is contingent on Step III having occurred. After this publication, the Secretary of OPM will make the final determination regarding the property (Step V).
There are no Step IV Notices in this edition.
Final determinations by the Secretary of OPM regarding the ultimate disposition of properties
This step is contingent on Steps III and IV having occurred. Fifteen days after publication of this Step V notice, a proposed transfer may proceed pursuant to the OPM Secretary’s final determination. There are no Step V Notices in this edition.
