Governor Ned Lamont has signed a bill into law designed to help towns in the Northwest corner which could be impacted by the future operations of the Cricket Valley Energy Center in Dover Plains, New York.  The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection will have to provide technical assistance and support to any municipality that purchases, leases or uses air monitoring equipment in order to establish an air quality baseline.  DEEP could provide information on best practices for creating the baseline, guidance on placement of the monitors, and information on best practices to assure the accuracy of the monitors.
