Releases from Federally Regulated Underground Storage Tank Systems

This list provides information about releases from federally regulated Underground Storage Tank (UST) Systems that have been, or are scheduled to be, reported to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by the CT DEEP.  Please note that some Case Numbers are listed on this dataset multiple times as more than one “Substance” was reported as being released at the date of discovery.  Federally regulated USTs include USTs containing heating fuel for resale purposes and USTs that contain gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and waste oil. To learn more about federally regulated USTs please see the EPA's UST website (https://www.epa.gov/ust/learn-about-underground-storage-tanks-usts).

This dataset is a subset of records and information that may be available about releases from regulated USTs that have occurred at specific locations. This dataset does not replace a full review of files publicly available using REACT (https://deep-react.service.ct.gov/s/) or the DEEP on-line Public Portal (https://filings.deep.ct.gov/DEEPDocumentSearchPortal/).

‒ This list does not contain releases from non-federally regulated USTs (i.e. releases from residential heating fuel USTs).
‒ Not every type of release from a federally regulated UST System is required to be reported to the EPA.
‒ Not every release from a federally UST System is reported to the DEEP. We can only report the information we receive.
‒ We know there may be errors in the data although we strive to minimize them. Examples of errors may include: misspelled or incomplete addresses and/or missing data.

If errors are found please contact the program unit using the following email address: DEEP.Leakingust@ct.gov .

Municipal Fiscal Indicators, 2017

Municipal Fiscal Indicators is an annual compendium of information compiled by the Office of Policy and Management, Office of Finance, Municipal Finance Services Unit (MFS). The data contained in Indicators provides key financial and demographic information on municipalities in Connecticut.

Municipal Fiscal Indicators contains the most current financial data available for each of Connecticut's 169 municipalities. The majority of this data was compiled from the audited financial statements that are filed annually with the State of Connecticut, Office of Policy and Management, Office of Finance. This database of information includes selected demographic and economic data relating to, or having an impact upon, a municipality’s financial condition. The most recent edition is for the Fiscal Years Ended 2017 published in December of 2018
Connecticut Road

Connecticut Roads and Trails is 1:24,000-scale base map data. It depicts the location of all roads and trails published on the USGS topographic quadrangle maps. For base map purposes, use this layer with other 1:24,000-scale base map data such as Hydrography, Railroads, Airports, and Towns. The Roads and Trails layer includes information within Connecticut and is derived from the Roads and Trails Master layer, which includes all road and trail features depicted on all of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps that cover the State of Connecticut. This layer may be used as a possible data source for other 1:24,000-scale layers having features that should coincide with the roads and trails on the USGS topographic quadrangle maps. Not intended for maps printed at map scales greater or more detailed than 1:24,000 scale (1 inch = 2,000 feet.)

Connecticut Roads and Trails is a 1:24,000-scale, feature-based layer that includes road and trail features on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps for the State of Connecticut. This layer only includes features located in Connecticut. The layer is based on information from USGS topographic quadrangle maps published between 1969 and 1984 and does not represent the road network in Connecticut at any one particular point in time. The layer does not depict current conditions and excludes many roads that have been built, modified, or removed since the time these topographic quadrangle maps were published. The layer includes Interstate highways, US routes, state routes, local roads, unpaved roads, traffic circles, bridges, cul-de-sacs, trails, etc. It does not include route number, street name,  house address, traffic direction, or traffic volume information for these features. Nor does it represent a complete or current network of hiking trails. Features are linear and represent road centerlines. Attribute information is comprised of codes to cartographically represent (symbolize) road and trail features on a map. This layer was originally published in 1994. The 2005 edition includes the same road features published in 1994, but the attribute information has been slightly modified and made easier to use.

COVID-19 Cases and Deaths by Age Group - ARCHIVE

Note: DPH is updating and streamlining the COVID-19 cases, deaths, and testing data.  As of 6/27/2022, the data will be published in four tables instead of twelve.

The COVID-19 Cases, Deaths, and Tests by Day dataset contains cases and test data by date of sample submission.  The death data are by date of death.  This dataset is updated daily and contains information back to the beginning of the pandemic.  The data can be found at https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-Cases-Deaths-and-Tests-by-Day/g9vi-2ahj.

The COVID-19 State Metrics dataset contains over 93 columns of data.  This dataset is updated daily and currently contains information starting June 21, 2022 to the present.  The data can be found at https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-State-Level-Data/qmgw-5kp6 .

The COVID-19 County Metrics dataset contains 25 columns of data.  This dataset is updated daily and currently contains information starting June 16, 2022 to the present.  The data can be found at https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-County-Level-Data/ujiq-dy22 .

The COVID-19 Town Metrics dataset contains 16 columns of data.  This dataset is updated daily and currently contains information starting June 16, 2022 to the present.  The data can be found at https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-Town-Level-Data/icxw-cada .   To protect confidentiality, if a town has fewer than 5 cases or positive NAAT tests over the past 7 days, those data will be suppressed.

COVID-19 cases and associated deaths that have been reported among Connecticut residents, broken out by age group. All data in this report are preliminary; data for previous dates will be updated as new reports are received and data errors are corrected. Deaths reported to the either the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) or Department of Public Health (DPH) are included in the daily COVID-19 update. 

Data are reported daily, with timestamps indicated in the daily briefings posted at: portal.ct.gov/coronavirus. Data are subject to future revision as reporting changes.

Starting in July 2020, this dataset will be updated every weekday. 

Additional notes:
A delay in the data pull schedule occurred on 06/23/2020. Data from 06/22/2020 was processed on 06/23/2020 at 3:30 PM. The normal data cycle resumed with the data for 06/23/2020.

A network outage on 05/19/2020 resulted in a change in the data pull schedule. Data from 5/19/2020 was processed on 05/20/2020 at 12:00 PM. Data from 5/20/2020 was processed on 5/20/2020 8:30 PM. The normal data cycle resumed on 05/20/2020 with the 8:30 PM data pull. As a result of the network outage, the timestamp on the datasets on the Open Data Portal differ from the timestamp in DPH's daily PDF reports.

Starting 5/10/2021, the date field will represent the date this data was updated on data.ct.gov. Previously the date the data was pulled by DPH was listed, which typically coincided with the date before the data was published on data.ct.gov. This change was made to standardize the COVID-19 data sets on data.ct.gov.

Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW)

The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program serves as a near census of employment and wage information. The program produces a comprehensive tabulation of employment and wage information for workers covered by Connecticut Unemployment Insurance (UI) laws and Federal workers covered by the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) program. Data on the number of establishments, employment, and wages are reported by industry for Connecticut and for the counties, towns and Labor Market Areas (LMAs) and Workforce Investment Areas (WIAs).
College Enrollment, Credit Attainment and Remediation of High School Graduates Statewide

The data here is from the report entitled Trends in Enrollment, Credit Attainment, and Remediation at Connecticut Public Universities and Community Colleges: Results from P20WIN for the High School Graduating Classes of 2010 through 2016. 

The report answers three questions:
1. Enrollment: What percentage of the graduating class enrolled in a Connecticut public university or community college (UCONN, the four Connecticut State Universities, and 12 Connecticut community colleges) within 16 months of graduation?
2. Credit Attainment: What percentage of those who enrolled in a Connecticut public university or community college within 16 months of graduation earned at least one year’s worth of credits (24 or more) within two years of enrollment?
3. Remediation: What percentage of those who enrolled in one of the four Connecticut State Universities or one of the 12 community colleges within 16 months of graduation took a remedial course within two years of enrollment?


Notes on the data: 
CT Remed: % Enrolled in Remediation is a subset of the % Enrolled in 16 Months.
Mashantucket Pequot/Mohegan Fund Grant History

The Mashantucket Pequot/Mohegan Fund annually distributes grants to municipalities eligible for a state grant in lieu of taxes pursuant to subsection (b) of section <a href="https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_201.htm#sec_12-18b">12-18b</a> of the Connecticut General Statutes. The distribution is based on numerous factors including, but not limited to, the value of state-owned property, private college and general hospitals, population, equalized net grand list and per capita income as set forth in <a href="https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_032.htm#sec_3-55i">Sections 3-55i, j, and k</a> of the Connecticut General Statutes. Payment is made in three equal payments on January 1, April 1, and June 30th.
Public Investment Community Index

The Office of Policy and Management (OPM) prepares the Public Investment Community (PIC) index not later than July 15 annually, pursuant to §7-545 of the Connecticut General Statutes (CGS).

The PIC index measures the relative wealth and need of Connecticut’s towns by ranking them in descending order by their cumulative point allocations for: (1) per capita income; (2) adjusted equalized net grand list per capita; (3) equalized mill rate; (4) per capita aid to children receiving Temporary Family Assistance program benefits; and (5) unemployment rate.

Pursuant to CGS §7-545 the PIC index includes each town that has a cumulative point ranking in the top quartile of the PIC Index (i.e. the 42 towns with the highest number of points).  When a town’s ranking falls below the top quartile in a given fiscal year, the town's designation as a Public Investment Community continues for that year and the following four fiscal years.  As a result, the PIC index includes certain towns carried over from previous fiscal years (indicated in the data as "grandfathered").

The PIC index determines eligibility for several financial assistance programs that various agencies administer, including:

-Urban Action Bond Assistance
-Small Town Economic Assistance Program
-Community Economic Development Program
-Residential Mortgage Guarantee Program
-Education Cost Sharing
-Malpractice Insurance Purchase Program
-Connecticut Manufacturing Innovation Fund
-Enterprise Corridor Zone Designation

Most of the towns included on the PIC index are eligible to elect for assistance under the Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP) in lieu of Urban Action Bond assistance, pursuant to CGS §4-66g(b).  An eligible town’s legislative body (or its board of selectmen if the town’s legislative body is the town meeting) must vote to choose STEAP assistance and the town must notify OPM following the vote. STEAP election is valid for four years and the statute allows extensions for additional four-year periods.
CAPT School Performance: 2013

This dataset contains the school classifications, school performance indices (SPIs), and SPI target attainment status for 2012-13 for all schools that administered the Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT). It also includes school classifications assigned to high schools with non-tested grades. These data were published in the School Performance Reports released by the CT State Department of Education (CSDE) in December 2013 (see http://www.csde.state.ct.us/public/performancereports/20122013reports.asp)

Note: Target attainment status will say “n/a” if there is no 2012-13 SPI target or if there is no 2012-13 SPI, which happens when there are small N sizes for a particular subgroup or subject.
Positive End Point Rates (meters/year)

Shorelines are continuously moving in response to winds, waves, tides, sediment supply, changes in relative sea level, and human activities. Shoreline changes are generally not constant through time and frequently switch from negative (erosion) to positive (accretion) and vice versa. Cyclic and non-cyclic processes change the position of the shoreline over a variety of timescales, from the daily and seasonal effects of winds and waves, to changes in sea level over a century to thousands of years. The shoreline "rate of change" statistic thus reflects a cumulative summary of the processes that altered the shoreline for the time period analyzed.
