In conformance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the DEEP makes every effort to provide equally effective services for persons with disabilities.

Ambient Water Quality Monitoring Program Strategy, 2015-2024. Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. Hartford, CT 06106. Two quotes from notable people who have retired from the Department exemplify the backbone of this monitoring strategy. That is, the importance of biological monitoring and data management cannot be over emphasized in order for a monitoring and assessment program to be successful. We thank them for their guidance and know they are enjoying their retirement. “Trying to run a water quality management program without biological monitoring information is like trying to drive a car at night without the headlights on. And if you do monitor but don’t look at the data, it’s like driving the car with the headlights on but with your eyes closed.” Lee Dunbar, former Assistant Director, Planning & Standards Division “The database upgrade should be highest priority... If this project fails you might as well send everybody home.” Ernest Pizzuto, former Supervising Environmental Analyst, Monitoring and Assessment Program i Table of Contents Executive Summary ......................................................................................................................

  • 2008 State of Connecticut Integrated Water Quality
    2008 STATE OF CONNECTICUT INTEGRATED WATER QUALITY REPORT PURSUANT TO SEC. 305(B) AND 303(D) OF THE FEDERAL CLEAN WATER ACT Introduction and Report Overview This report was prepared to satisfy statutory reporting requirements pursuant to both Sections 305(b) and 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). CWA Section 305(b) requires each State to monitor, assess and report on the quality of its waters relative to attainment of designated uses established by the State’s Water Quality Standards. Section 303(d) of the CWA requires each State to compile a subset of that list identifying only those waters not meeting water quality standards and assign a priority ranking for each impaired waterbody for Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) development or other management action. These reports are submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) every two years for review and, in the case of waters identified pursuant to Section 303(d), EPA approval. Chapter 1, Consolidated Assessment and Listing Methodology (CT CALM) describes the procedure used by CT-DEP to assess the quality of the State’s waters relative to attainment of Water Quality Standards. The CALM serves to document the protocols used by DEP to assess water quality data as well as establishing minimum standards for data acceptability to insure that only credible data are used to perform the assessments. Although the DEP relies most heavily on data collected as part of the Department’s Ambient Monitoring Program, data from other State and federal Agencies, local governments, drinking water utilities, volunteer organizations, and academic sources are also solicited and considered when making assessments.
