  • Anglers Please Plan Ahead!
    79 Elm Street • Hartford, CT 06106-5127 www.ct.gov/deep Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer Anglers Please Plan Ahead! Trout stocking is well underway in anticipation for Opening Day on April 8, 2017 and we are all looking forward to an enjoyable season. The Connecticut DEEP will be stocking over 530,000 catchable size trout (average size of 12 inches) into Connecticut’s lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams this spring (before opening day and until mid-May). This number is about 90,000 less fish than the number stocked last year, which will bring some changes to our stocking program in order to minimize the impact on anglers and make the most efficient use of the trout we have available. The reduced fish production is the result of three key factors: - A reduction in production capacity at Kensington Fish Hatchery to achieve budgetary savings; - Critical maintenance of several production ponds at Quinebaug Trout Hatchery, which required them to be taken out of service and drained of water while repairs were made; - Moderate to severe statewide drought in 2015 and 2016 (ongoing) resulting in less flow of water to fill ponds, raceways and supply flow at all three hatcheries. With the reduced number of trout, changes to our stocking program mean that the Fisheries Division will not be stocking some waters or sections of some waters, and is reducing total number of trout stocked in others. The reason for eliminating previous stocking locations varies but in many instances is due to one of the following reasons; - Low documented usage by anglers; - Reduced public access; - Locations are currently stocked with brown trout fry or fingerlings; - To eliminate stocking on top of wild trout populations.

  • Factsheet: City of Middletown Water Quality and Stormwater Summary
    79 Elm Street • Hartford, CT 06106-5127 www.ct.gov/deep Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer Factsheet: City of Middletown Water Quality and Stormwater Summary This document was created for each town that has submitted monitoring data under the current Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) General Permit. What follows is information on how stormwater can affect water quality in streams and rivers and a summary of data submitted by your town. This factsheet is intended to help you interpret your monitoring results and assist you in compliance with the MS4 program. Water Quality in Connecticut Surface waters are important resources that support numerous uses, including water supply, recreation, fishing, shellfishing and sustaining aquatic life. Water quality conditions needed to support these uses are identified within the Connecticut Water Quality Standards (WQS). In order to protect and restore these uses, we need acceptable environmental conditions (physical, chemical and biological) to be present within surface waters. To assess and track water quality conditions, CT DEEP conducts monitoring across the State. The data is synthesized into a biennial state water quality report called the Integrated Water Quality Report. Currently, specific water quality monitoring in the state encompasses about 50% of rivers, 47% of lakes, and 100% of estuary/coastline. In addition, CT DEEP may have information about certain land uses or discharges which could indicate a potential for water quality to be impacted, even if the waterbody has not been fully monitored and assessed. To find more detailed information on water quality in your town, please see the Integrated Water Quality Report (IWQR) on the CT DEEP website at www.ct.gov/deep/iwqr.
