Dataset Description:
We know there are errors in the data although we strive to minimize them. Examples include:
• Manifests completed incorrectly by the generator or the transporter - data was entered based on the incorrect information. We can only enter the information we receive.
• Data entry errors – we now have QA/QC procedures in place to prevent or catch and fix a lot of these.
• Historically there are multiple records of the same generator. Each variation in spelling in name or address generated a separate handler record. We have worked to minimize these but many remain. The good news is that as long as they all have the same EPA ID they will all show up in your search results.
• Handlers provide erroneous data to obtain an EPA ID - data entry was based on erroneous information. Examples include incorrect or bogus addresses and names. There are also a lot of MISSPELLED NAMES AND ADDRESSES!
• Missing manifests – Not every required manifest gets submitted to DEEP. Also, of the more than 100,000 paper manifests we receive each year, some were incorrectly handled and never entered.
• Missing data – we know that the records for approximately 25 boxes of manifests, mostly prior to 1985 were lost from the database in the 1980’s.
• Translation errors – the data has been migrated to newer data platforms numerous times, and each time there have been errors and data losses.
• Wastes incorrectly entered – mostly due to complex names that were difficult to spell, or typos in quantities or units of measure.

Since Summer 2019, scanned images of manifest hardcopies may be viewed at the DEEP Document Online Search Portal: https://filings.deep.ct.gov/DEEPDocumentSearchPortal/

Notes:
(1) Monthly payments are due to the State by the 15th of the following month.
(2) The operation of the online sports wagering began on October 12, 2021.
(3) Monthly resettlements are wagers where the original settled wager result is modified due to an error or change in result of the underlying event.
(4) Federal Excise Tax is 0.25% of Net Wagers.
(5) This amount shall only include coupons and credits issued for use for gaming in the state and redeemed in the State of Connecticut.
(6) Per Public Act 21-23, from October 2021 – September 2022 the promotional deduction is limited to the lesser of 25% of sports wagering Win/Loss, or actual promotional coupons or credits wagered. From October 2022 – September 2023 this limit drops to 20%, and to 15% thereafter..
(7) Payment rate is 13.75% of Gross Gaming Revenue. Monthly payment is the greater of the calculated payment or $0 (if calculated payment is negative).
(8) In May 2022, MPI Master Wagering License CT, LLC reclassified $2.6M of certain bets from October 2021 - March 2022 originally reported as resettlements, as winnings.
This had no impact on Gross Gaming Revenue or payments to the state because winnings and resettlements are treated the same in the GGR calculation. Corrected amounts are reported above.
(9) In May 2022, MPI Master Wagering License CT, LLC revised its October 2021 filing to reflect patron winnings that were cashed after the close of operations during the limited
hours of Soft Launch. This adjustment reduced the payment due to the State of Connecticut by $31,669; taken as a credit against the May 2022 payment due.
(10) In July 2024, Mohegan Digital, LLC's online gaming operator identified and reported data latency issues that caused errors in the May 2024 payment calculations submitted to the State of Connecticut. Mohegan Digital, LLC amended their May 2024 return, which resulted in an increase of $15,952 in both Wagers and Cancelled Wagers, an Increase of $5,375 in Patron Winnings, and a decrease of $5,375 in Monthly Resettlements. Amended figures are shown above.

Description of Dataset:
This data set represents information reported between July 1, 1996 and June 30, 2022 to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP), generally to the CT DEEP Dispatch Center, regarding releases of substances to the environment, generally through accidental spills. For information related to releases reported to CT DEEP from July 1, 2022 to the present, go to Incident Reports for Releases Reported to CT DEEP July 1, 2022 to present at: https://connecticut.hazconnect.com/listincidentpublic.aspx

For a dataset related to releases reported to CT DEEP from July 1, 2022 to recent refer to the CT Open Data dataset: https://data.ct.gov/Environment-and-Natural-Resources/Spill-Incidents-from-July-1-2022-to-Recent-for-Dow/ffju-s5c5

Connecticut General Statutes Section 22a-450 requires anyone who causes any discharge, spillage, uncontrolled loss, seepage or filtration of oil or petroleum or chemical liquids or solid, liquid or gaseous products, or hazardous wastes which poses a potential threat to human health or the environment to report that release to the CT DEEP. Reports of releases from other persons are also included in this dataset.

Examples of what may be included in a spill incident record includes: Administrative information (unique spill case number). Spill date/time. Location. Spill source and cause. Material(s) and material type spilled. Quantity spilled. Measurement units. Surface water bodies affected.

Data limitations and factors to consider when using this data:
This data is limited to information about a spill incident as it was known at the time it was reported to CT DEEP. Although some data reflects updated information after the time of the initial notification, CT DEEP is unable to field check and verify all reported information. Therefore, information later determined to be incomplete or inaccurate may exist in this data set. There may also be spelling errors or other unintentionally inaccurate data that was transcribed in the spill incident report.

This dataset is a subset of records and information that may be available about releases that have occurred at specific locations. This dataset does not replace a full review of files publicly available either on-line and/or at CT DEEP’s Records Center.

For a complete review of agency records for this or other agency programs, you can perform your own search in our DEEP public file room located at 79 Elm Street, Hartford CT or at our DEEP Online Search Portal at: https://filings.deep.ct.gov/DEEPDocumentSearchPortal/Home .

If errors are found or there are questions about the data, please contact the program unit using the following email address: DEEP.SpillsDocs@ct.gov

The Office of Policy and Management maintains a listing of all real estate sales with a sales price of $2,000 or greater that occur between October 1 and September 30 of each year. For each sale record, the file includes: town, property address, date of sale, property type (residential, apartment, commercial, industrial or vacant land), sales price, and property assessment.

Data are collected in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes, section 10-261a and 10-261b: https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_172.htm#sec_10-261a and https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_172.htm#sec_10-261b.
Annual real estate sales are reported by grand list year (October 1 through September 30 each year). For instance, sales from 2018 GL are from 10/01/2018 through 9/30/2019.

Some municipalities may not report data for certain years because when a municipality implements a revaluation, they are not required to submit sales data for the twelve months following implementation.

This list provides Underground Storage Tank (UST) site, tank, contact and Enforcement information for the approximately 45,000 commercial underground storage tanks (USTs) previously and currently registered in Connecticut, of which about 8,000 are still in use. (There are 3 other related data sets: 1-Contact Details 2-Enforcement Summary, and 3-Compliance Details)

Annually, or when a UST is installed, removed, or altered, a notification form must be completed via EZFile (see link) and submitted to CT DEEP. Notification is required for non-residential underground storage tanks, including those for oil, petroleum and chemical liquids, as well as residential home heating oil tanks serving five or more units. See online at: https://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?q=322600

The underground storage tank regulations and the Connecticut underground storage tank enforcement program have been in effect since November 1985. This list is based on notification information submitted by the public since 1985, and is updated weekly. This list contains information on both active and on non-active USTs, as well as federally regulated and state regulated USTs.

Factors to Consider When Using this data:

-Not every required notification form is submitted to the DEEP. We can only enter the information we receive.

-We know there are errors in the data although we strive to minimize them. Error examples may include: notification forms completed incorrectly by the owner/operator, data entry errors, duplicate site information, misspelled names and addresses and/or missing data.

DPH note about change from 7-day to 14-day metrics:
As of 10/15/2020, this dataset is no longer being updated. Starting on 10/15/2020, these metrics will be calculated using a 14-day average rather than a 7-day average. The new dataset using 14-day averages can be accessed here: https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-case-rate-per-100-000-population-and-perc/hree-nys2

As you know, we are learning more about COVID-19 all the time, including the best ways to measure COVID-19 activity in our communities. CT DPH has decided to shift to 14-day rates because these are more stable, particularly at the town level, as compared to 7-day rates. In addition, since the school indicators were initially published by DPH last summer, CDC has recommended 14-day rates and other states (e.g., Massachusetts) have started to implement 14-day metrics for monitoring COVID transmission as well.

With respect to geography, we also have learned that many people are looking at the town-level data to inform decision making, despite emphasis on the county-level metrics in the published addenda. This is understandable as there has been variation within counties in COVID-19 activity (for example, rates that are higher in one town than in most other towns in the county).

This dataset includes a weekly count and weekly rate per 100,000 population for COVID-19 cases, a weekly count of COVID-19 PCR diagnostic tests, and a weekly percent positivity rate for tests among people living in community settings. Dates are based on date of specimen collection (cases and positivity).

A person is considered a new case only upon their first COVID-19 testing result because a case is defined as an instance or bout of illness. If they are tested again subsequently and are still positive, it still counts toward the test positivity metric but they are not considered another case.

These case and test counts do not include cases or tests among people residing in congregate settings, such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or correctional facilities.

These data are updated weekly; the previous week period for each dataset is the previous Sunday-Saturday, known as an MMWR week (https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/document/MMWR_week_overview.pdf). The date listed is the date the dataset was last updated and corresponds to a reporting period of the previous MMWR week. For instance, the data for 8/20/2020 corresponds to a reporting period of 8/9/2020-8/15/2020.

Notes:
9/25/2020: Data for Mansfield and Middletown for the week of Sept 13-19 were unavailable at the time of reporting due to delays in lab reporting.
