Training Program
2012 training session - Friday, May 4
grey block

Aquifier programThe Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection’s Aquifer Protection Area Program helps to protect major public water supply wells from contamination.

Aquifer Protection Areas (APAs) are designated around the state’s 122 active well fields in sand and gravel aquifers that serve more than 1000 people.

Land use controls are imposed in those areas to minimize the potential for contamination of the well field.

The APA Program

  • Prohibits development of new high-risk activities in these areas
  • Requires existing high-risk land use activities in these areas to register and follow best management practices

Municipalities with APAs play a critical role in the APA Program and the protection of our aquifer resources.

This training is intended for Municipal Aquifer Protection Agency members and staff.

Pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes Section 22a-354v, the training will provide instruction on:

  • the adoption of local aquifer protection regulations
  • the delineation of aquifer protection boundaries
  • a broad range of administrative and legal issues

The Connecticut General Statutes Section 22a-354o requires at least one member of the agency or staff of the agency to complete the technical training program.
