Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Lien Filings

This dataset contains liens filed with the Business Services Division of the Office of the Secretary of the State. Most liens are filed under the Uniform Commercial Code, but the dataset also contains vessel and aircraft liens, and liens filed by the Internal Revenue Service, the Connecticut Department of Labor, and municipalities.

The dataset only contains liens that are active (e.g., not lapsed) or that are less than one year past their natural lapse date. 

Note that liens showing a lapse date of December 31, 9999 have no lapse date and are effective until released/terminated.  These liens will remain on the data set for one year following termination/release.

The source data for this dataset (Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Lien Filings 4.0 Revised 7.2021) is business.ct.gov as of 7.2021.

List of Contaminated or Potentially Contaminated Sites

Data to create the List of Contaminated or Potentially Contaminated Sites is based on records from the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP)’s online REACT portal at: https://deep-react.service.ct.gov/s/    The REACT application tracks environmental cleanups related to contaminant releases and contaminated properties.  Data exported from that application creates this data set.  This data set is made available to provide downloadable data about known environmental cleanups generally and to fulfill the information-sharing obligations of Connecticut General Statutes 22a-133c and 22a-134f related to lists of hazardous waste disposal sites and hazardous waste facilities in Connecticut.

DEEP staff and authorized public users update REACT data and upload documents to document cleanup progress. For more information visit: https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/Remediation--Site-Clean-Up/Remediation-Site-Clean-Up  .   

Public documents uploaded to REACT are also available either electronically in the DEEP Online Document Search Portal at: https://filings.deep.ct.gov/DEEPDocumentSearchPortal/  or in DEEP’s Records Center at DEEP Headquarters, 79 Elm Street, Hartford:  https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/About/Environmental-Quality-Records-Records-Center-File-Room

Each Row represents a release or property that is undergoing investigation and cleanup or has completed cleanup. Data to compile the list was gathered for each location (“site”) from information provided to DEEP to address the requirements of various regulatory cleanup programs. Sites may be in multiple cleanup programs and therefore may be listed more than once. Some sites have been fully cleaned up while others have limited information about the environmental conditions. The list includes only sites that have been reported to CT DEEP or US EPA.

There may be errors in the dataset although we strive to minimize them. Examples of errors may include misspelled or incomplete addresses and/or missing data.

For additional information about this dataset please contact DEEP.REACT@ct.gov.  
Additional information for sites within the Hazard Notification program can be found at: https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/Remediation--Site-Clean-Up/Significant-Environmental-Hazard-Program/Significant-Environmental-Hazards

Weekly Cannabis Establishment Lottery Report

The data shown in this table is updated weekly on Thursdays. The applications included in these counts have NOT been reviewed for completeness. The counts may include incomplete applications and are subject to change. 

The data reflects the total number of social equity and general lottery applications the Department of Consumer Protection has received for each license type at the time the report was generated.  The Department has not reviewed the applications and cannot confirm that each application was completed properly or that each backer listed in the application submitted a backer application. 

Those counted as social equity applicants have self-identified as social equity applicants.  The Social Equity Council has NOT reviewed the applications to verify social equity status.  

All individuals that are identified as backers associated with a cannabis establishment application must also complete a backer application before the close of the application window to ensure they are considered as part of the application.   

Applications will not be reviewed until after the application period closes and the third-party lottery operator has randomly selected the appropriate number of applications for each license type.

Cannabis Retail Sales by Week Ending

This data set contains preliminary weekly retail sales data for cannabis and cannabis products in both the adult-use cannabis and medical marijuana markets. The data reported is compiled at specific points in time and only captures data current at the time the report is generated. The weekly data set captures retail cannabis sales from Sunday through Saturday of the week. Weeks spanning across two different months only include days within the same month. The first and last week of each month may show lower sales as they may not be made up of a full week (7 days). Data values may be updated and change over time as updates occur. Accordingly, weekly reported data may not exactly match annually reported data.
