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


Office of Adjudications

Informational Public Hearing

The Office of Adjudications conducts Informational Public Hearings. These hearings are not contested cases and are held instead of an adjudication when requested by a petitioner or at the request of an Applicant prior to any request for hearing. During an informational hearing, the Applicant and DEEP present information on a permit application and interested persons have an opportunity to make public comments. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Applicant produces a Comment Response Document that is available to the public and the Hearing Officer issues a Hearing Officer Report. As these are not contested cases, no proposed or final decisions are issued.

Hearing Officer Reports

Hearing Officer Reports are not final decisions of the Office of Adjudications. The reports summarize an Informational Public Hearing that was held on an application. For additional information on the matters listed below, the public is encouraged to contact the Applicant or DEEP staff identified in the Report.
