Proposal to Clarify Release Rules

摘要

Acknowledging that there is legiti-mate uncertainty in the business community about when a release of a substance is reportable and what information must be reported, the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has proposed new regulations to provide clarity.rnConnecticut law currently requires reporting of any spill or discharge of hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum or chemical solid, liquid, or gaseous product that poses a potential threat to human health or the environment.rnHowever, the law does not define what constitutes a reportable release and what information must be reported.
