I/A Approval Process at MassDEP
Nitrogen-Reducing I/As and Conditions of
Approval
Path to General Use Approval
Operation and Maintenance
Use of Shared Systems with I/As

Buzzards Bay Coalition – March 5, 2014
Title 5 - 1995 Code (Oct 1994)
Nitrogen loading limitations (440 gpd/building acre)
Nitrogen Sensitive Areas
Zone II of PWS
IWPA of PWS
Areas served by on-site wells and on-site septic

Limitations apply primarily to new construction or
increase in flow but may be required for upgrades
also under Maximum Feasible Compliance
Code did not go into full effect (March 31, 1995)
until some I/As for N-reduction were approved.
RSF established as standard (550 gpd/ac).
Buzzards Bay Coalition – March 5, 2014
Established 4 Tiers of Approval
Remedial Use Approval
