Aquatic Life Impacts of Phosphorus Research
The CT DEEP Monitoring Group is engaged in several efforts to study the effects of phosphorus in water bodies. This webpage provides information on the monitoring efforts, results and analysis conducted by the Monitoring Program. These efforts include recommendations by the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering report ‘Methods to Measure Phosphorus and Make Future Projections’ developed as part of Public Act 12-155, An Act Concerning Phosphorus Reductions in State Waters.
This guidance was developed for landowners, industrial, commercial and residential property managers; charities, religious, civic and fraternal groups and organizations, public and private schools and educational institutions, municipal officials, and other interested parties regarding fund raising vehicle wash events and effective water pollution control.
