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. Please note that today's forest fire danger report remains at an 'extreme' level. More information about the current fire danger, burn ban and recommended safety measures can be found here

10 Worksheets Designed to Document, Evaluate & Record

Each of the 10 worksheets corresponds to a distinct task or aspect of the PREPARED evaluation. Worksheets should be modified, as appropriate, for a specific evaluation. Completed worksheets should be revised and updated as new or more accurate information is gained. The worksheets are designed to be controlled by a key project manager but portions can also be completed by other members of the brownfields team, including other municipal colleagues, consultants and attorneys.

To complete the worksheets:

  1. Review and enter information. Provide sufficient information so that persons conducting the evaluation can rely on this information to arrive at an outcome and persons not directly involved in the evaluation can understand the evaluation and the outcome.
  2. Identify sources of information. Provide references to reports or other information from which responses are derived.
  3. Identify data gaps. Note information that is unavailable, unknown, or not applicable to the planned reuse.
