    79 Elm Street • Hartford, CT 06106‐5127 www.ct.gov/deep Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer Open Space Report to the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee and the State Bond Commission January 2013 Overview Section 22a‐6v of the General Statutes of Connecticut requires the Commissioner of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to submit a report to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to finance, revenue and bonding and to the State Bond Commission each month. The report provides information on the acquisition of land or interests in land by the state, a municipality, water company or nonprofit organization using funds authorized for the Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition Program established under Sections 7‐131d and the Recreation and Natural Heritage Trust Program established under Sections 23‐73 to 23‐79 of the Connecticut General Statutes. Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition Grant Program The Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition Grant Program provides grants to municipalities and private nonprofit land conservation organizations for the acquisition of open space land and to water companies to acquire land to be classified as Class I or Class II watershed land. The State of Connecticut receives a conservation and public access easement on property acquired to ensure that the property will be protected and available to residents of Connecticut as open space in perpetuity. There were no open space and watershed acquisition grants closed in January 2013. Recreation and Natural Heritage Trust Program The Recreation and Natural Heritage Trust Program is the State of Connecticut’s primary program for the acquisition of lands for the beneficial use and enjoyment of the public as additions to the State’s system of parks, forests, wildlife, fisheries and natural resource management areas.
