DEP Proposed Stream Flow Standards:
According to the DEP, the new standards and regulations will be an important step toward ensuring more natural flows in waterways, but they are spurring a good deal of debate. Why? Who will be affected by the regulations? What are the benefits? Will these regulations effect the homeowner who has any type of stream, brook, river, etc running through his property?
Please visit the State of CT Website to learn more about the regulations
