Massachusetts H3695 regulates the location of generation facilities to ensure they are at least one mile from sensitive areas.

Massachusetts H3695 amends Chapter 164 of the General Laws to establish a one-mile buffer zone around certain public areas and areas of critical environmental concern. This includes environmental justice communities, playgrounds, licensed day-care centers, schools, churches, and residential housing. The buffer zone applies to new generation facilities but exempts repairs or replacements that do not increase generation capacity.
