Massachusetts H3176 redefines natural gas compressor station to clarify its zoning requirements.
Massachusetts H3176 amends the definition of a natural gas compressor station to specify it as a facility designed to compress natural gas from oil and gas wells for delivery to pipelines or storage. The bill stipulates that such stations, if operationally and physically similar to an industrial use, should only be located in industrial zoning districts under chapter 40E. This change aims to ensure proper zoning and regulation of natural gas infrastructure.
