Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 22a-329 requires every municipality to adopt soil erosion and sediment control regulations consistent with state guidelines. Plans are required for development disturbing more than one-half acre statewide.
Connecticut law mandates that all municipalities adopt erosion and sediment control regulations meeting the standards in the state's 2002 Connecticut Guidelines for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control. Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 22a-325 through 22a-329 establish that any development activity disturbing one-half acre or more requires a certified soil erosion and sediment control plan reviewed by the local land use authority. Plans must include site description, sequence of operations, and best management practices. State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) supervises municipal compliance and the state guidelines control where local rules are silent.
Violations carry stop-work orders and penalties under Sec. 22a-438, with civil fines up to $25,000 per day and required restoration of damaged resources.
