State DEEP to issue summary of recommendations within three to four weeks.
The State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency will soon issue a summary of recommendations for deer management after confirming there is a deer overpopulation problem at Wallingford's Tyler Mill Preserve after touring the site earlier this week.
