Massachusetts S532 prohibits requiring primary residences to install or upgrade to Best Available Nitrogen Reducing Technology.

Massachusetts S532 amends Title 5 of the State Environmental Code to prevent the Department of Environmental Protection from mandating the installation or upgrade of Best Available Nitrogen Reducing Technology in primary residences. This change applies unless a Watershed Permit, issued under 314 CMR 21.00, specifically requires such an installation or upgrade. The bill also stipulates that no Watershed Permit can be enforced unless the Department or the General Court provides funding for any costs imposed on Local Government Units, including those related to primary residences.
