Sec. 22-26cc. State acquisition of development rights to agricultural land. Program established. Joint ownership by the state and a town. Assistance of nonprofit organization. State acquisition of right to construct residence or farm structure.
Status: in_force

(b) Upon the acquisition by the commissioner of the development rights of agricultural land, the commissioner shall cause to be filed in the appropriate land records and in the office of the Secretary of the State a notice of such acquisition which shall set forth a description of the agricultural land as will be sufficient to give any prospective purchaser of such agricultural land or creditor of the owner thereof notice of such restriction. Upon such filing, the owner of such agricultural land shall not be permitted to exercise development rights with respect to such land, and such development rights shall be considered and deemed dedicated to the state in perpetuity, except as hereinafter provided. If restricted land is to be sold, the owner shall notify, in writing, the commissioner of such impending sale not more than ninety days before transfer of title to the land and shall provide the commissioner with the name and address of the new owner.

(c) The commissioner shall have no power to release such land from its agricultural restriction, except as set forth in this subsection. The commissioner, in consultation with such advisory groups as the Commissioner of Agriculture may appoint, may approve (1) a petition by the owner of the restricted agricultural land to remove such restriction provided such petition is approved by resolution of the legislative body of the town, or (2) a petition by the legislative body of the town in which such land is situated to remove such restriction provided such petition is approved in writing by said owner. Upon approval of such a petition by the commissioner, the legislative body of the town shall submit to the qualified voters of such town the question of removing the agricultural restriction from such land or a part thereof, at a referendum held at a regular election or a special election warned and called for that purpose. In the event a majority of those voting at such referendum are in favor of such removal, the restriction shall be removed from the agricultural land upon filing of the certified results of such referendum in the land records and the office of the Secretary of the State, and the commissioner shall convey the development rights to such owner provided such owner shall pay the commissioner an amount equal to the value of such rights. Such petition shall set forth the facts and circumstances upon which the commissioner shall consider approval, and said commissioner shall deny such approval unless he determines that the public interest is such that there is an overriding necessity to relinquish control of the development rights. The commissioner shall hold at least one public hearing prior to the initiation of any proceedings hereunder. The expenses, if any, of the hearing and the referendum shall be borne by the petitioner. In the event that the state sells any development rights under the procedure provided in this subsection, it shall receive the value of such rights.

(d) Whenever the commissioner acquires the development rights of any agricultural land and the purchase price of such development rights is ten thousand dollars or more, said commissioner and the owner of such land may enter into a written agreement which provides for the payment of the purchase price in two or three annual installments, but no interest shall be paid on any unpaid balance of such purchase price.

(e) Whenever the commissioner acquires the development rights to any agricultural land, and any municipality in which all or part of the land is situated paid a part of the purchase price from a fund established pursuant to section 7-131q , such municipality and the state may jointly own the development rights. The land may be released from its agricultural restriction in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this section. The commissioner shall adopt regulations in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54 establishing procedures for the joint acquisition of development rights to agricultural land.

(f) The acquisition of the development rights to any agricultural land by the commissioner shall not be deemed to be ownership of such land and the state shall not be liable for pollution or contamination of such land and no person may bring a civil action against the state for damages resulting from pollution or contamination of such agricultural land.

(g) The commissioner may issue a letter of intent requesting the assistance of a nonprofit organization, as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any subsequent corresponding internal revenue code of the United States, as from time to time amended, in acquiring the development rights to certain agricultural land. If such organization acquires such rights it may sell them to the commissioner based on a purchase agreement. Such agreement may include reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in the acquisition of the rights as well as payment for the rights. The commissioner may enter into joint ownership agreements to acquire the development rights to any qualified agricultural land with any nonprofit organization, as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any subsequent corresponding internal revenue code of the United States, as from time to time amended, provided the mission of such nonprofit organization is the permanent protection of agricultural land for the purposes of continued agricultural use.

(h) In addition to development rights, the commissioner may acquire or accept as a gift the rights of the owner to construct any residences or any farm structures on agricultural land.

(i) The Commissioner of Agriculture, pursuant to any cooperative agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture for the disbursement of funds under federal law, may require that any property to which rights are acquired under this section with such funds shall be managed in accordance with a conservation plan which utilizes the standards and specifications of the Natural Resources Conservation Service field office technical guide and is approved by such service. Additionally, such conservation plan shall require the establishment of model pollinator habitat, as described in section 22-90b . Any instrument by which the commissioner acquires such rights and for which any such funds are used may provide for a contingent right in the United States of America in the event that the state of Connecticut fails to enforce any of the terms of its rights acquired under this section which failure shall be determined by the United States Secretary of Agriculture. Such contingent right shall entitle the secretary to enforce any rights acquired by the state under this section by any authority provided under law. Such instrument may provide that such rights shall become vested in the United States of America in the event that the state of Connecticut attempts to terminate, transfer or otherwise divest itself of any such rights without the prior consent of the United States Secretary of Agriculture and payment of consideration to the United States and may further provide that title to such rights may be held by the United States of America at any time at the request of the United States Secretary of Agriculture. In connection with such an agreement, the commissioner may hold the United States harmless from any action based on negligence in the procurement or management of any rights acquired under this section and may assure that proper title evidence is secured, that the title is insured to the amount of the federal cost paid for the interest of the United States of America and that, in the event of a failure of title, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, and payment of insurance to the state, the state will reimburse the United States for the amount of the federal cost paid.

(j) The commissioner, when acquiring the development rights of any agricultural lands on behalf of the state, may incorporate deed requirements in accordance with the provisions of the federal Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program, 7 CFR 1491.1, et seq., or under the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program, 7 CFR 1468.1, et seq., or any successive federal farmland protection program.

Defendant who allowed dog to wander out of sight 20 to 30 yards away while on property of another violated Subsec., which is not unconstitutionally void for vagueness as applied, and which gives fair notice that Subsec. prohibits a dog owner from, inter alia, allowing a dog freely to move around another's property, unrestrained and unhindered, and not under the direct influence of owner; dog's subsequent response to owner's verbal command did not demonstrate “control” required by Subsec. 139 CA 107.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 22-204 — Connecticut Code / Title 22 / Chapter 431 / Section 22-204
Sec. 22-204. Legislative findings, purpose and policy.
Status: in_force

(1) Milk is the most necessary human food, vital for promotion of the public health; the health and growth of children are particularly dependent upon a constant and wholesome supply thereof. Since milk is a most fertile field for the growth of bacteria, its production and distribution have been surrounded by more costly sanitary requirements than those of any other food.

(2) Milk consumers are not assured of a constant and sufficient supply of pure, wholesome milk when the high cost of maintaining sanitary conditions of production and high standards of purity is not returned to the producers of milk; or when a disparity between prices of milk and milk products and other commodities and services compels large numbers of producers to dispose of their herds or impairs the ability of producers to maintain such conditions and standards. Therefore, public health is menaced when milk dealers do not or cannot pay a price to producers commensurate with the cost of sanitary conditions of production and high standards of purity.

(3) Milk dealers are required constantly to handle surpluses to meet the emergency requirements of unpredictable variations in fluid consumption and to meet seasonal variations in production, which milk in excess of fluid requirements must find an immediate market and tends to cause unfair, unreasonable and demoralizing trade and price practices, detrimental to the public health and interest. This excess milk is normally diverted into other uses at lower prices. Hence, producers who sell to a particular dealer or on a particular market should receive a proportionate share of the proceeds from the sale of milk in fluid form and in the lower price outlets if stable market conditions and equitable treatment of producers are to be assured.

(4) Milk producers are required to make delivery of this highly perishable commodity immediately after it is produced and therefore must often accept any market at any price. Because of facts above stated, the value of milk cannot be determined until the dealer has sold such milk in fluid form or has disposed of it in surplus outlets; furthermore, only the dealers have convenient facilities for accurately weighing and testing milk. Hence, prior and often exclusive knowledge of the value of milk is in the possession of the dealer. The producers' lack of control over their market is aggravated by the trade custom of dealers in paying weeks after delivery, which often keeps producers obligated to continue delivery in order to receive payment for previous sales and permits dealers to operate on the producers' capital without giving security therefor. Hence, milk producers are subject to fraud and imposition, and do not possess the freedom of contract necessary for the procuring of cost of sanitary production. The above and attendant conditions and practices pertain to and exist in a paramount industry upon which the health and welfare of the inhabitants of the state are largely dependent; and the public interest therefore requires efficiency, equitable conditions, and the reduction or prevention of unhealthful, uneconomic, deceptive and destructive trade and price practices with respect thereto among producers, dealers and consumers. In exercise of the state police power to protect and promote the public health and welfare and to prevent fraud and imposition upon producers, such conditions and practices require control and regulation of the production, transportation, manufacture, processing, storage, distribution, sale and handling of milk as a business affecting the public health and interest.

(b) The requirements of subsection (a) of this section to install and maintain reverse vending machines shall not apply to any dealer that: (1) Sells only beverage containers, as defined in section 22a-243 , of twenty ounces or less where such beverage containers are packaged in quantities fewer than six; (2) sells beverage containers and devotes no more than five per cent of the dealer's floor space to the display and sale of consumer products; or (3) obtains a waiver from the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection authorizing dealers to provide consumers with an alternative technology that: (A) Determines if the beverage container is redeemable, (B) provides protections against fraud through a system that validates each beverage container redeemed by reading the universal product code and, except with respect to refillable containers, renders the beverage container unredeemable, (C) accumulates information regarding beverage containers redeemed, and (D) issues legal tender, or a scrip, receipt or other form of credit for the refund value, that can be exchanged for legal tender for a period of not less than sixty days without requiring the purchase of other goods. If such alternative technology does not allow consumers to immediately obtain the refund value of the redeemed beverage container, a dealer shall be permitted to deploy such alternative technology only if such dealer also offers an alternative that allows consumers to conveniently and immediately obtain such refund value through a reverse vending machine or other alternative method.

(c) For any dealer exempt from the provisions of subsection (a) of this section and whose place of business is not less than forty thousand square feet but does not utilize reverse vending machines to process empty beverage containers for redemption shall: (1) Establish and maintain a dedicated area within such business to accept beverage containers for redemption; (2) adequately staff such area to facilitate efficient acceptance and processing of such containers during business hours; and (3) post one or more conspicuous signs at each public entrance to the business that describes where in the business the redemption area is located.

(d) Any dealer who violates the provisions of this section shall be fined not more than one thousand dollars, and an additional civil penalty of not more than one thousand dollars for each day during which each such violation continues. Any such civil penalty may be assessed by the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection following a hearing held in accordance with chapter 54.

(b) In making the commissioner's decision, the commissioner shall consider all relevant facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:

(1) The effect of the proposed diversion on related needs for public water supply including existing and projected uses, safe yield of reservoir systems and reservoir and groundwater development;

(2) The effect of the proposed diversion on existing and planned water uses in the area affected such as public water supplies, relative density of private wells, hydropower, flood management, water-based recreation, wetland habitats, waste assimilation and agriculture;

(3) Compatibility of the proposed diversion with the policies and programs of the state of Connecticut, as adopted or amended, dealing with long-range planning, management, allocation and use of the water resources of the state;

(4) The relationship of the proposed diversion to economic development and the creation of jobs;

(5) The effect of the proposed diversion on the existing water conditions, with due regard to watershed characterization, groundwater availability potential, evapotranspiration conditions and water quality;

(6) The effect, including thermal effect, on fish and wildlife as a result of flow reduction, alteration or augmentation caused by the proposed diversion;

(7) The effect of the proposed diversion on navigation;

(8) Whether the water to be diverted is necessary and to the extent that it is, whether such water can be derived from other alternatives including, but not limited to, conservation;

(9) Consistency of the proposed diversion with action taken by the Attorney General, pursuant to sections 3-126 and 3-127 ; and

(10) The interests of all municipalities which would be affected by the proposed diversion.

(c) In making a decision on an application, the commissioner shall consider (1) capital expenditures and other resource commitments made prior to July 1, 1982, in connection with a proposed diversion, except that such expenditures or commitments shall not be binding in favor of such proposed diversion, and (2) proposed diversions recommended in any water supply plan developed pursuant to section 25-32d or coordinated water system plan prepared pursuant to section 25-33h in the same manner as proposed diversions not recommended in any such plan.

(d) If a decision is not made in the time required pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the application shall be deemed granted.

If the legislature had intended the Connecticut Water Diversion Policy Act to confer the authority to consider or regulate activities facilitated or enabled by a proposed diversion whose sole relation to such diversion is the use of the diverted water at any point during the facilitated activity, it certainly could have inserted language to that effect; the single reference to “area of influence” in regulation re mapping wells in stratified drift aquifers is not intended to incorporate the area of influence metric into the act as a universal substantive element. 317 C. 628.

Annotations to present section:

Cited. 215 C. 616. By its plain meaning, the term “high tide line” refers to the highest point at which the water's surface intersects with the land over the course of the entire yearly tidal cycle, excluding only the extraordinary conditions created by a hurricane or other intense storm; the maximum height of water may be higher than what is observed at any given moment, but it must be at least as high as what is observed under nonextreme weather conditions; if, absent intense storm activity, the water level at high tide ever reaches a given location, that location is necessarily waterward of the high tide line as defined in Subsec. (c); section not unconstitutionally void for vagueness as applied. 305 C. 681. Under 2003 revision, use of the 1-year frequency tidal flood elevation as a method to determine the location of the high tide line was entirely consistent with section; section allows for use of different measurements or surveys by department when determining location of the high tide line, and the only limitations as to permissible methods are that the method used must be suitable and that storm surges due to hurricanes or other intense storms may not be included when determining high tide line. 308 C. 359.
