Information regarding when it is necessary to contact the DEEP with permit related issues under CGS Section 22a-430.
What To Expect From An Inspection
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) conducts inspections at permitted facilities throughout the state. Under state law inspectors have the authority to enter your facility at reasonable times to evaluate compliance with your permit and the Water Discharge Permit Regulations of the State of Connecticut.
Flow Proportioned Sample Collection Procedures
The Regulations require flow proportioning for all daily composite samples. See RCSA Section 22a-430-3(a)(3) for more information. This requirement is often a major area of non-compliance for permittees.
Agricultural wastewater generated from a variety of farm activities including animal feeding operations and the processing of agricultural products, can pollute surface and ground water if not properly managed.
These guidelines have been developed to clarify DEEP recommendations to state and municipal officials, and others regarding the removal and disposal of snow accumulations from roadways and parking lots. For purposes of this guidance snow accumulations refers to snow banks and snowpiles that are removed by front-end loader or by loading on trucks for disposal.
