Bill Summary

Relative to loans for failed septic systems. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow the state's environmental department to approve loans for the costs of installing new septic systems in certain situations. Specifically, the bill allows loans for septic systems that have failed or are failing due to a lack of nutrient attenuation, and for systems that are located in nitrogen-impaired or nitrogen-sensitive areas, or for small developers or homeowners with multiple lots in nitrogen-sensitive areas, as long as the system does not handle more than 10,000 gallons per day. This change is intended to help address issues with failed septic systems, particularly in areas where nitrogen pollution is a concern.
