What should be done by municipalities to improve the regulations around water and environmental protections when the state's regulations and trainings are lacking? Review this report:https://westcog.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Safeguarding-Public-Water-Supply-Watersheds.pdf
Couple of Takeaways:
Stormwater runoff: Zero increase in peak runoff is just the bare minimum, when ignores the runoff from the parking lots and buildings and the additional chemicals from the development that add non point source pollutants into the environment (think PFAS, etc.). Water quality and runoff standards are lacking in municipalities.
Continuing Education for zoners: Developer advocates should NOT BE ALLOWED to provide continuing education training and credits to municipal zoners. Education should be an unbiased, official academic institution, not the lobbying groups like DesegregateCT, which are interested parties with a development agenda.
