Historical Regulatory Revisions and Hearing Reports
Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA)
Sections 22a-174-1 to 22a-174-200
Abatement of Air Pollution
On July 1, 2017, the eRegulation System became the official version of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies and the electronic repository for the regulation-making records. The following table includes historical regulatory text for regulations amended before July 1, 2017. Please note these documents below are provided for historical reference only, please refer to the eRegulation System for all current regulations.
How to Use This Table
Each regulation section in the left hand column links directly to its current form in the eRegulations System. The center column link provides the collected historical versions of the relevant regulatory section, listed by the effective date. The right hand column provides available hearing reports. Hearing reports include the comments submitted during the regulatory adoption process and the Department’s responses to such comments and thereby provide insight into the Department's intention concerning regulatory language.
Additional Historical Regulation Documentation
The Abatement of Air Pollution Regulations are currently adopted under the authority of C.G.S. 22a-174. C.G.S. 22a-174 was previously numbered as C.G.S.19-508. In 1983, C.G.S. 19-508 was transferred, and the regulations were under it were renumbered (see Public Act No. 83-277). The air pollution regulations as they existed when renumbered, effective August 1, 1983 are available in a combined file. Additionally, the historical versions above do not include the June 1972 regulations. These are documented as one PDF collection: 1972 Regulations.
