This database is for informational use and is not a controlled quality database. Efforts have been made to ensure accuracy of data in the database; however, errors and omissions may occur.

Examples of potential errors include:
• Data entry errors.
• Lab results not reported for entry into the database.
• Missing results due to equipment failure or unable to retrieve samples due to lost or environmental hazards.
• Translation errors – the data has been migrated to newer data platforms numerous times, and each time there have been errors and data losses.

- Error Results are the calculated uncertainty for the sample measurement results and are reported as (+/-).

- Environmental Sample Records are from the year 1998 until present. Prior to 1998 results were stored in hardcopy, in a non-database format.

Requests for results from samples taken prior to 1998 or results subject to quality assurance are available from archived records and can be made through the DEEP Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) administrator at deep.foia@ct.gov. Information on

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) tracks the management of certain toxic chemicals that may pose a threat to human health and the environment. Certain industrial facilities in the U.S. must report annually how much of each chemical is recycled, combusted for energy recovery, treated for destruction, and disposed of or otherwise released on- and off-site. This information is collectively referred to as production-related waste managed.

- Reporting unit of monitoring results is millirem [where 1 millirem = 1 thousandth (10-3) of a Rem] as defined in Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies Section 19-24-4.
- Monitoring results below the minimum measurable quantity for the monitoring period are recorded as “M.”
- Quarterly results reflect total integrated gamma exposure received within a calendar 3-month time frame.
- Environmental monitoring results are reported on a calendar quarterly basis:
• 1st Quarter: January, February, March
• 2nd Quarter: April, May, June
• 3rd Quarter: July, August, September
• 4th Quarter: October, November, December

This dataset summarizes the utility use and expenditures data for FY19 through FY22 for Executive Branch agencies.

The data was pulled from the state's utility tracking system, EnergyCAP, on March 20, 2023, with the exception of the waste disposal data, which was pulled from Core-CT, the state's human resource management and financials system.

The data below may be incomplete and will be updated once data collection has been completed.

Formal Enforcement Case Summaries between 2021(Oct. 2021)-Present

Formal enforcement summaries provide a brief description of violations, civil penalties and/or supplemental environmental projects, as appropriate, and a link to the enforcement document.

In the past, DEEP has included administrative consent orders when providing enforcement summaries. Since 2019, DEEP has included the following formal enforcement actions in addition to consent orders: cease and desist orders, unilateral orders, and stipulated judgments. Since 2022, DEEP lists all formal enforcement actions, including consent orders, unilateral orders (includes cease and desist and red tags), penalty notices, stipulated judgements, asset forfeitures, contempt orders, federal consent decrees, federal court orders, settlement agreements, and state court orders on the CT Open Data Portal. Use filters such as town, date, or program for reviewing the data.

Red Tags orders are administered by our DEEP UST Enforcement and can be found separately on the CT Open Data Portal. In the CT Open Data Portal, go to Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) - Enforcement Summary, https://data.ct.gov/Environment-and-Natural-Resources/Underground-Storage-Tanks-USTs-Enforcement-Summary/sfgx-68fy, select view data and filter by type.

For further information on a formal enforcement action, please contact the Office of Planning and Program Development (OPPD) at DEEP.OPPD@ct.gov.
