CT SB00119

Enables the Commissioner of Environmental Protection to approve alternative institutional controls beyond environmental land use restrictions to protect human health and the environment at remediation sites.

Introduces "notice of activity and use limitation" as a new tool that property owners can record on land to restrict certain uses and activities, with specific allowable purposes including preventing residential use in industrial zones and protecting inaccessible contaminated soil.

Requires property owners to provide 60 days' written notice to all interest holders (mortgagees, lessees, lienors) via certified mail before recording a notice of activity and use limitation, with the ability to waive this period by written agreement.

Establishes that notices of activity and use limitation must be prepared on a commissioner-prescribed form and accompanied by a decision document signed by the commissioner or a licensed environmental professional specifying contamination details, permitted activities, and compliance obligations.

Allows the Attorney General to enforce notices of activity and use limitation through civil action, permits the commissioner to issue enforcement orders, and imposes strict liability on property owners and lessees for violations with civil penalties available under existing law.
