The EPA announced last month it was establishing an enforceable limit for PFAS in public drinking water.
Not all systems in CT have shared testing results. But the ones that have show there are plenty of systems with PFAS levels above the new limit. ctmirror.org/2023/04/09/ct-w…

The price tag for this could be ... significant. Great reporting from @Andy_Ed_Brown ctmirror.org/2023/04/09/ct-w…

Taking food out of the waste stream and mandating recycled content in packaging are probably the least controversial provisions in @GovNedLamont's ambitious plan. Both complement private-sector efforts. ctmirror.org/2023/03/21/ct-f…

Connecticut is committed to increasing its already admirable rates of recycling. But if you catch a hauler mixing trash and recycling, don't expect state environmental officials to do anything. ctmirror.org/2023/02/26/ct-r…

David Kooris, the chairman of the Port Authority, told members of the bond commission last year that it would be the last time he would ask them for money for the state pier.
It seems that pledge will be broken.

CT Port Authority officials admit they need more money from the state bond commission for the redevelopment of the State Pier.
They also say they are seeking more money out of Eversource and Orsted, which will use the pier for offshore wind projects. ctinsider.com/news/article/c…

CT Port Authority just announced that it will present a new budget amendment for the State Pier in New London in January.
The project is still encountering problems with driving pilings into the soil below the Thames River, according to port officials and consultants.

Reminder: The price tag for the civil project has already increased from an estimated $93 million to more than $255 million.

Read @JohnMoritz18's story on CT's response to the new EPA guidance on PFAS.
Citing a new scientific knowledge around PFAS chemicals, @EPA says that no level may be considered "safe" for human consumption.
While still voluntary, regulators are slashing guidelines for limits in water supplies:

Sad day. Just found out a camp where I worked as a day camp counselor for years is at threat of development. This article is a good summary of the development challenges Connecticut faces
Attempts to preserve a Killingworth Boy Scout reservation offer a window into the state's hit-or-miss pattern of open space conservation.
