Sec. 22a-354n. Delineation of aquifer protection areas on maps prepared by
zoning commissions, planning commissions or planning and zoning commissions.
Challenges to boundaries. The zoning commission, planning commission or planning
and zoning commission of each municipality with an aquifer protection area shall, in
accordance with regulations adopted by the commissioner pursuant to section 22a-354i,
delineate on any map showing zoning districts prepared in accordance with chapter 124
or 126 or any special act the boundaries of aquifer protection areas, including areas of
contribution and recharge areas as shown on level A maps approved or done by the
commissioner pursuant to section 22a-354c or any other provision of the general statutes.
An aquifer protection commission shall not delineate or alter the boundary of an aquifer
protection area except in accordance with regulations adopted by the commissioner. No
person may challenge the boundaries of the aquifer protection area at the local level
unless such challenge is based solely on a failure by the aquifer protection agency to
properly delineate the boundaries in accordance with regulations of the commissioner.
Any other challenge to established aquifer protection area boundaries shall be in the
form of a petition to the commissioner to amend the boundaries, in accordance with
regulations adopted by him.
(P.A. 89-305, S. 7, 32; P.A. 90-275, S. 4, 9.)
History: P.A. 90-275 provided that the delineation of the boundaries of aquifer protection areas be in accordance with
regulations, provided that the only ground for challenging the boundaries of the aquifer protection area be that the agency
failed to delineate such in accordance with regulations and specified that any other challenge to established boundaries
shall be a petition to amend the boundaries.
