Impaired River 2020

<p><font size='2'>Connecticut 303(d) Impaired Waters 2020 is a subset of
Connecticut 305(b) Assessed Waters 2020. If any one of the assigned designated
uses is categorized as NOT Supporting, the assessed waterbody is included in
this subset and is considered impaired. Additional information about Integrated
Water Quality reporting is available on the CT DEEP website, <a href='https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/Water/Water-Quality/Water-Quality-305b-Report-to-Congress' rel='nofollow ugc'>Integrated
Water Quality Report</a> page. </font></p>

<p><font size='2'>Connecticut 305(b) Assessed Waters files includes rivers,
lakes and estuaries that have been assessed in compliance with Sections 305(b)
and 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act. Section 305(b) of the Clean Water
Act requires each state to monitor, assess and report on the quality of its
waters relative to attainment of designated uses established by the State's
water quality standards. Section 303(d) requires each State to compile a subset
of that list identifying only those waters not meeting water quality standards
and assign a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) priority ranking to each impaired
waterbody.</font></p>

<p><font size='2'>This assessment is based on information collected and compiled
prior to 2020. It represents conditions at a particular point in time and does
not represent current conditions. Depending on the type of waterbody - river,
lake, or estuary - this information geographically displays attainment and
non-attainment (e.g. full supporting, not supporting, not assessed) for each
designated use - aquatic life, marine aquatic life, recreation use, fish
consumption, shellfish harvesting, and drinking water supply.</font></p>
Connecticut Population Projections - State, County, and Regional Councils of Governments Level, 2015-2040

The 2015 to 2040 population projections for the state of Connecticut were developed by the Connecticut State Data Center for planning, analysis, and to inform decision making. The projections are individual population projections for the resident population of Connecticut and were developed on July 31, 2017 and revised and republished on September 19, 2017 to address an error in the original dataset that was published on July 31, 2017. The County and Regional Council of Government Projections were published on June 29, 2018 and are based on the projections developed on September 19, 2017. These projections supersede the 2012 edition of the population projections developed by the Connecticut State Data Center.
Tidal Wetlands 1970s

Tidal Wetlands 1970's represents the historic regulatory tidal wetland boundaries produced during the early 1970's by the State of Connecticut Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources, which defined the areas of tidal wetlands that were subject to the 1969 Tidal Wetlands Act.
The first comprehensive tidal wetlands mapping of the state was undertaken during the 1970's following the passing of the Tidal Wetland Act (TWA) in 1969. The TWA established a permit program to regulate activities conducted in tidal wetlands. The TWA had a mandatory mapping requirement to let property owners know the approximate location of regulated tidal wetland areas. Unfortunately, during the adoption of the regulations, the tidal wetland maps were given greater importance, than was originally intended, such that the maps were used to determine the regulated area rather than the actual site conditions. The mandated revisions to the maps were never undertaken as no additional funding was authorized. (See the Tidal Wetlands 1990's Datalayer for subsequent wetlands mapping.)
The regulatory tidal wetland boundaries were surveyed in the field and these boundaries were transferred to 1&quot; = 200' (1: 24000 scale) mylars derived from black and white low altitude aerial photography. It is known that the mapping criteria did change and evolve as the surveyors became more experienced with tidal wetland delineation. It also was not unusual for controversial parcels to be omitted as a result of adverse comments received at public hearings prior to the adoption of the maps. Additionally, no maps were ever produced to show &quot;formerly connected&quot; wetlands, a special type of wetlands. Thus, even at the time of their adoption, the 1970's tidal wetland maps did not include all known tidal wetlands in Connecticut.
For more information, please refer to the Tidal Wetlands Report at http://www.ct.gov/dep/lib/dep/gis/coastalresources/tidal_wetlands_report.pdf .

Bedrock Geology Set

Bedrock Geology Set is a 1:50,000-scale, polygon and line feature-based layer describing the solid material that underlies the soil or other unconsolidated material of the earth for Connecticut. Bedrock geologic formations are described as polygons in terms of formation name (incorporating geologic age), rock type, and tectonic terrane association. Tectonic forces are responsible for the present day geologic configuration of the continents. Resulting terranes are regionally fault bounded rocks of a similar tectonic history. Each terrane is named after its plate tectonics ancestry. Geologic lines include contacts, faults, and terrane boundaries. Terrane boundaries are named for the faults involved. The geologic contacts and faults are delineated and classified by type. Polygon feature attribute information is comprised of codes to identify individual bedrock geologic units, their formation name, description and size. Line feature attributes identify, name and describe bedrock contacts, faults and terrane boundaries between these bedrock geologic units. Data is compiled at 1:50,000 scale and is not updated. A complete description of the bedrock mapping units with mineralogical descriptions and a brief history of Connecticut geology are included in the Supplemental Information Section for reference.

Northeast County Polygon

Northeastern United States County Boundary data are intended for geographic display of state and county boundaries at statewide and regional levels. Use it to map and label counties on a map. These data are derived from Northeastern United States Political Boundary Master layer.
This information should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:24,000-scale data. The State of Connecticut, Department of Environmental Protection (CTDEP) assembled this regional data layer using data from other states in order to create a single, seamless representation of political boundaries within the vicinity of Connecticut that could be easily incorporated into mapping applications as background information. More accurate and up-to-date information may be available from individual State government Geographic Information System (GIS) offices. Not intended for maps printed at map scales greater or more detailed than 1:24,000 scale (1 inch = 2,000 feet.)
2014 OPM Nonprofit Grant Program Awards

In August 2013, $20M was approved for the state's first ever Nonprofit Grant Program.  The program is a way of helping nonprofit health and human service agencies ensure that their funding goes towards assisting those most in need of their services by supporting capital purchases that enhance service delivery, efficiency and effectiveness. 

This dataset lists grants-in-aid to private, nonprofit health and human service organizations pursuant to Sec. 13(a)(1) of Public Act 13-239.

Surficial Aquifer Potential

This map has been prepared for statewide ground water resource protection, water management, non-point source pollution prevention, and land use planning. The map was compiled from a geospatial analysis of the surficial materials and thickness of glacial sediments digital data layers of the Surficial Materials Map of Connecticut, Stone and others (1992) and Quaternary Geologic Map of Connecticut and The Long Island Sound Basin, Stone and others (1998, 2005). The map identifies areas with greater potential for ground water development based upon the texture and thickness of surficial aquifer deposits. The resulting hydrostratigraphic units define areas of coarse grained deposits, coarse overlying fine grained deposits, fine grained deposits, and areas where fine grained deposits overly coarse grained deposits. Aquifer deposit thickness intervals are 1-50 feet, 50-100 feet, 100-200 feet, 200-300 feet, and 300-400 feet.

The Surficial Aquifer Potential Map was prepared by the Connecticut Geological Survey at the request of the Water Protection and Land Reuse Bureau of the Department of Environmental Protection. A statewide view of surficial aquifer resources is necessary to facilitate proactive aquifer protection and water supply planning. Previous statewide groundwater availability (Meade 1978) and ground water yields mapping (Mazzaferro 1986) provided excellent planning documents at the time of publication. The compilation presented here incorporates geologic mapping and interpretations of Stone et al (1992; 1998; 2005) unavailable in the earlier treatments. Notably, the Surficial Materials Map of Connecticut (Stone et al 1992), used in this compilation, provides detailed 1:24,000 scale mapping which delineates larger and more numerous areas of coarse-grained deposits than previously known.
Connecticut Fire Department Incidents (2012-2022)

This dataset contains Connecticut Fire Department Incidents as reported to the National Fire Department Incident Reporting System (NFIRS).

Note that some years have far more entries than other years.  In particular, they detail "False Alarm and False Calls" and "Rescue and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Incidents"

NFIRS collects details on Fire, HazMat and EMS incidences nationwide, detailing the type of incident, where it occurred, the resources used to mitigate it and more, with a goal of understanding the nature and causes of the incidents. Information is also collected on the number of civilian or firefighter casualties and an estimate of property loss.

Participation in NFIRS is voluntary.  

Data is released yearly, with a considerable delay.

Each Incidence is assigned a 3 digit Incidence Type Code.  The code describes the situation emergency personnel found when they arrived.  Incidence Types are grouped into larger categories, called Series.  

For example, Series 400, 'Hazardous Condition' category includes incidence types: 411, 'Gasoline or other flammable liquid spill; 412, 'Gas leak and 413, 'Oil or other combustible liquid spill '.

Not every Incidence Type is included in the data.   In 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the NFIRS data releases contained these Series/Incidence Types:

  Series 100: Fire Incidences,
  Series 400: Hazardous Condition (No Fire),
  Incidence Type 561: Unauthorized burning, under the 'Service Call' Series,
  Incidence Type 631: Authorized Controlled Burning, under the 'Good Intent Call' series and
  Incidence Type 632: Prescribed fires also under the 'Good Intent Call' series.

The 2014 and 2016 releases included these additional series:

  200: Overpressure Rupture, Explosion, Overheat (No Fire), 
  300: Rescue and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Incidents, 
  500: Service Calls, 
  600: Good Intent Call Series,
  700: False Alarm and False Call,
  800 Severe Weather and Natural Disaster
  900: Special Incident Type.

The official NFIRS documentation has been attached to this dataset.

This dataset does not contain all the detail available in the NFIRS database.   If after reviewing the documentation, you find additional information you would like added to the dataset, please let us know.
COVID-19 Updated (Bivalent) Vaccinations By Week and Age Group - ARCHIVED

<strong>These tables will stop being updated after June 1, 2023.  COVID-19 vaccination reporting is expected to resume when a new COVID-19 vaccination formulation is authorized.</strong></p>

As 4/22/2023, CDC recommends bivalent vaccine for everyone regardless of age and whether or not the person has had prior monovalent vaccine. 

This table shows the number of people with a first updated (bivalent) COVID 19 vaccine dose administered by week and by age group. 

•	Data are reported weekly on Thursday and include doses administered to Saturday of the previous week. Data for the last incomplete week are excluded. 

•	All data in this report are preliminary.  Data for previous weeks may be changed because of delays in reporting, deduplication, or correction of errors.

•	The table groups people based on their age at the time of administration of the updated (bivalent) COVID-19 dose.  

•	The analyses here are based on data reported to CT WiZ which is the immunization information system for CT. Connecticut COVID-19 Vaccine Program providers are required to report to CT WiZ all COVID-19 doses administered in CT including to CT residents and to residents of other jurisdictions. CT Wiz also receives records on CT residents vaccinated in other jurisdictions and by federal entities which share data with CT WiZ electronically (currently:  RI, NJ, New York City, DE, Philadelphia, NV, Indian Health Service, Department of Veterans Affairs (doses administered since 11/2022)).   Electronic data exchange is being added jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction.  Once a jurisdiction is added to CT WiZ, the records for residents of that jurisdiction vaccinated in CT are removed. For example, when CT residents vaccinated in NYC were added, NYC residents vaccinated in CT were removed.


* People who started COVID-19 vaccination with Pfizer vaccine before age 5 are not recommended to get an updated (bivalent) booster vaccine at this time. Therefore, people 0-4 have been excluded from these tables.

Connecticut Reportable Disease Case List

Table published by the Connecticut Department of Public Health that contains reportable disease data.  Each row of data represents a case of disease in a person with the reported state of residence.  

Each case is assigned to a report period based on the date of symptom onset or first positive test. The report period is identified by the Report Period Start Date and Report Period End Date. The actual date the case occurred is not included to protect confidentially.

All data are preliminary; data for previous weeks are routinely updated as new reports are received, duplicate records are removed, and data errors are corrected.

The following disease(s) are included in this table:

MPOX (previously called Monkeypox), Influenza, COVID-19, RSV
Gov. Jonathan Trumbull Papers (1631-1784) Index

Jonathan Trumbull (1710-1785) was governor of Connecticut before, during, and after the Revolutionary War; he was one of only two men to be both royal governors under King George III and state governors after independence was declared. His 14 years as governor from 1769 to 1784 were of immense importance to both Connecticut and the fledgling United States. As leader of "The Provisions State" Trumbull ensured that the Continental Army had the supplies it needed to keep fighting, for which his friend George Washington once called him "the first of the patriots."

Trumbull's official papers and letters, which also included significant documents pertaining to Connecticut's claims on the Susquehanna and Narragansett countries, were donated by his son David Trumbull to the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1795. This organization preserved all but volume 19, which was unfortunately lost in a fire in 1825, and donated them to the state of Connecticut in 1921. They have been preserved at the Connecticut State Library since. In 2024-5, this invaluable resource for researching the Revolutionary War period was digitized and made available online for the first time through the Connecticut Digital Archive.

This index is a transcription of a slip index to the Trumbull Papers created in the mid-20th century. PLEASE NOTE: This is an index of a historical collection that contains words and phrases that may be offensive or harmful to individuals investigating these records. In order to preserve the objectivity and historical accuracy of the index, State Archives staff took what would today be considered archaic and offensive descriptions for ancestral, racial, gender, and ethnic identity directly from the original documents. For more information on appropriate description, please consult the Diversity Style Guide and Archives for Black Lives in Philadelphia: Anti-Racist Description Resources. 

We recognize that language is constantly evolving, and will continue to evolve. We will endeavor to always use terminology that is as inclusive as possible.
COVID-19 State Level Data - Archive

State level COVID-19 metrics.

As of 6/1/2023 this data set is no longer being updated.

The COVID-19 Data Report is posted on the Open Data Portal every day at 3pm. The report uses data from multiple sources, including external partners; if data from external partners are not received by 3pm, they are not available for inclusion in the report and will not be displayed. Data that are received after 3pm will still be incorporated and published in the next report update.

The cumulative number of COVID-19 cases (cumulative_cases) includes all cases of COVID-19 that have ever been reported to DPH.  The cumulative number of COVID_19 cases in the last 7 days (cases_7days) only includes cases where the specimen collection date is within the past 7 days.  While most cases are reported to DPH within 48 hours of specimen collection, there are a small number of cases that routinely are delayed, and will have specimen collection dates that fall outside of the rolling 7 day reporting window.  Additionally, reporting entities may submit correction files to contribute historic data during initial onboarding or to address data quality issues; while this is rare, these correction files may cause a large amount of data from outside of the current reporting window to be uploaded in a single day; this would result in the change in cumulative_cases being much larger than the value of cases_7days.

On June 4, 2020, the US Department of Health and Human Services issued guidance requiring the reporting of positive and negative test results for SARS-CoV-2; this guidance expired with the end of the federal PHE on 5/11/2023, and negative SARS-CoV-2 results were removed from the List of Reportable Laboratory Findings. DPH will no longer be reporting metrics that were dependent on the collection of negative test results, specifically total tests performed or percent positivity.  Positive antigen and PCR/NAAT results will continue to be reportable.
