Bill Summary

Relative to industrial wastewater discharge of dental facilities. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill aims to regulate the industrial wastewater discharge from dental facilities located in Zone II areas of public water supplies. The key provisions are: (1) Dental facilities in Zone II areas must obtain verification every 5 years from the local health authority that their septic system does not have any outstanding orders for replacement or repair; and (2) the regulations governing industrial wastewater discharge (314 CMR 18.01 to 18.11) do not apply to dental facilities. This is intended to provide a specific regulatory framework for managing wastewater from dental facilities in sensitive groundwater protection areas.
