The ECC is by all means, a basin ranger that completes projects, environmental compliance and visitor assistance at all seven flood control areas located in the Naugatuck River Basin. The ECC independently initiates action on the regular and recurring work associated with program responsibilities and carries projects through to completion. Other work is assessed by informal conference. Assistance may be provided on complex problems, issues having far reaching implications, or matters having significant impact on costs or resources.
