DOnly the proximity to drinking water sources

Connecticut's RSR uses risk-based cleanup standards that vary by both the type of contaminant and the land use. Residential cleanup standards are more stringent than non-residential (industrial/commercial) standards because residents—especially children—face greater exposure.
