Legislature Establishes Remediation Deadlines Under Connecticut Transfer Act

The Connecticut Transfer Act generally applies to the transfer of establishments at which hazardous waste is or was generated, and requires that, at the time of transfer, the transferor notify both the transferee and the DEP whether a release of hazardous waste or hazardous substances has occurred from the establishment. If such a release has occurred, one of the parties to the transaction must commit to clean it up. Only real property or business operations defined as “establishments” are affected by the statute.
