Captain, I have a question on duties of ECO in CT. I am in the pesticide business and we work in CT and NY and my question is why in CT you guys don't enforce pesticide laws ? The DEEP last I read from a Hartford current story has about 1 person to enforce laws in the field with thousands of applicators, many of them unlicensed. In NY the Conservation officers enforce pesticide laws, we get pulled over for spot checks to check chemicals , paperwork and most importantly we have proper licenses. In CT it's like the Wild West with no field enforcement with unlicensed landscape companies and individuals doing improper applications. Do you guys have more duties then NY that you can't do pesticide checks or do hey have more officers per county? Just curious, as improper application of certain insecticides and fungicides are highly toxic to fish so It should be a concern of untrained and un-licensed guys doing applications in CT near our waterways.
