Ambient Monitoring Plan Modifications
MWRA's Deer Island Treatment Plant has a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit to discharge effluent into Massachusetts Bay. Attached to this permit is an Ambient Monitoring Plan, which details monitoring goals and methods to ensure the the Harbor and Bay are protected. The NPDES permit allows MWRA to propose interim modifications to the Ambient Monitoring Plan at any time. After interim changes are proposed, they go into effect after 30 days unless there is a written objection from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or Mass. Department of Environmental Protection. |
