• Notices of Activity and Use Limitation

  A Notice of Activity and Use Limitation (NAUL) is a type of Environmental Use Restriction (EUR) that complies with the requirements of section 22a-133o of the Connecticut General Statutes, section 22a-133q of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, and the RSRs.

• Environmental Use Restrictions

  An Environmental Use Restriction (EUR) is used to minimize the risk of human exposure to pollutants and hazards to the environment by preventing specific uses or activities at a property or a portion of a property.

• Choosing an Environmental Consultant

• Ecological Risk Assessment

  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.

• PFAS Information for Environmental Professionals

  Information for LEPs about when to test for PFAS, which PFAS to test for, sample collection guidance, analytical methods, remediation, and disposal of PFAS waste.

• Prevention of PFAS Pollution by Minimizing Future Releases

  Information about Connecticut's efforts to minimize future releases of PFAS to the environment including implementation of a firefighting foam take back program and decontamination pilot project, efforts to understand PFAS in consumer packaging, and legislation to limit PFAS in food packaging.

• PFAS Education, Outreach and Communication

  Information regarding CT DEEP efforts to enhance education, outreach and communication on PFAS.

• PFAS Academic Collaborations

  Information regarding Connecticut PFAS-related research collaborations and PFAS-specific student internship opportunities at CT DEEP.

• Brownfields Success Stories

  Yankee ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit is helping Connecticut transform brownfields from burdens to significant assets to their communities, frequently making the communties healthier and more walkable.

• Federal Brownfields Resources

  Information to assist in obtaining EPA grants and liability protections for brownfield sites in Connecticut.

• LEP Board - Legislation Advisories

  LEP Board Legislation Advisories

• Connecticut Brownfields Inventory

  List of sites likely defined as brownfields, which are unused or underutilized because they are contaminated, or there is a general and reasonable perception that they are contaminated.

• 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.

• Significant Existing Releases and Immediate Actions

  Significant Existing Releases (SERs) are historical releases that pose an increased short-term risk to human health and the environment. Due to the increased risk, Immediate Actions are required to quickly address any potential exposures to the release.
