The lower Connecticut River, beginning near its mouth and continuing upstream for a distance of approximately 58 kilometers (36 miles), contains one of the least developed or disturbed large-river tidal marsh systems in the entire United States, and the most pristine large-river tidal marsh system in the Northeast.

 CANDLEWOOD LAKE WATERSHED
Such use would be preceded by division of the Lake into classifications of B (northern, continued waste water receiving from the Housatonic) and AA (southern, well away from the entering wastewater and in a non-mixing zone, thus suitable for public drinking supply).
In essence the HVCEO policy of 1972 favoring Lake use for water supply was reendorsed, and the Candlewood Watershed was added to the map of "potential water supply watersheds" in the Region.
This approach has not been implemented because of the difficulty in identifying the portions of the lake where water quality is affected by the hydroelectric plant discharge and the effects that future land use patterns would have on the classification boundaries.
