Bill Summary
Relative to the approval of sewer disposal systems which have been installed for less than three years. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 13 of Chapter 21A of the General Laws in Massachusetts, which deals with the state environmental code. The key provisions include: (1) allowing a duly registered sanitarian or a professional engineer to prepare plans for subsurface systems for disposal of domestic sewage of not more than 2,000 gallons per day, while requiring professional engineers for any other sewage disposal systems; (2) exempting certain property transfers from the requirement for an inspection of a sewage disposal system, such as transfers between family members or where the system was installed within the previous 3 years; and (3) requiring the Department of Environmental Protection to evaluate practices that would minimize the paperwork burden for individuals, small businesses, and state and local governments in enforcing the code.
