There is a newer version of the Connecticut General Statutes
2009 Connecticut Code
Title 16 Public Service Companies
Chapter 277a Public Utility Environmental Standards Act
Sec. 16-50u. Enforcement of certificate and standards requirements.
Sec. 16-50u. Enforcement of certificate and standards requirements. The
council shall take reasonable steps to insure that each facility for which a certificate has
been issued is constructed, maintained and operated in compliance with such certificate
and any other standards established pursuant to this chapter. Whenever the council
deems it necessary to verify such compliance and whenever the meeting of any such
other standards involves expenses, the person to whom such certificate has been issued
shall be charged with and pay such expenses. The courts are authorized to grant such
restraining orders, and such temporary and permanent injunctive relief, as may be necessary to secure compliance with this chapter and with a certificate issued pursuant to this
chapter. The courts may assess civil penalties in an amount not less than one thousand
dollars per day for each day of construction or operation in material violation of this
chapter, or in material violation of any certificate issued pursuant to this chapter. Civil
proceedings to enforce this chapter may be brought by the Attorney General in the
superior court for any judicial district affected by the violation. The remedies and penalties in this section shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other penalties
and remedies available at law, or in equity, to any person.(1971, P.A. 575, S. 16; P.A. 73-458, S. 11; P.A. 78-280, S. 2, 127.)
History: P.A. 73-458 substituted "established pursuant to this chapter" for "applicable to such facility" as phrase modifying "standards"; P.A. 78-280 replaced "county" with "judicial district".
