AI Summary

This bill aims to redefine "natural gas compressor station" in Massachusetts law. It provides a new, more detailed definition of the term, describing it as a facility designed to compress natural gas from oil and gas wells for delivery to pipelines, processing plants, or storage. The bill also specifies that such compressor stations, if operationally and physically similar to industrial uses, should only be located in industrial zoning districts, as provided in Chapter 40E. This change in classification and zoning requirements seeks to address how natural gas compressor stations are regulated and sited within the state.
