Remediation Standard Regulations
Connecticut's Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs) specify the standards for the remediation of environmental pollution in soil and groundwater.
Requesting APS and Alternative Criteria
The Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs), contain numeric cleanup standards for 88 substances. When a contaminant at a site is not one of the 88 substances, Additional Polluting Substance (APS) criteria must be approved by the Commissioner to complete cleanup at the site under the RSRs. When the RSRs contain criteria for a substance but a party believes different numeric criteria are appropriate for a specific site, that party may request approval of Alternative Criteria.
