Proposed revisions to 2004 Ambient Monitoring Plan
The MWRA has proposed revisions to its 2004 Ambient Monitoring Plan and as required by its NPDES permit is seeking public comment. The "Ambient Monitoring Plan for the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority Effluent Outfall Revision 2 July 2010" is available for comment (pdf) .
Comments were due to EPA Region 1 and MassDEP by August 20, 2010.
The MWRA submitted proposed revisions in April of 2009. EPA considered these revisions to be significant enough to be considered as part of its annual submission. The OMSAP formally reviewed the Plan at its June 29, 2009 public meeting and in two public conference calls on August 18, 2009 and October 28, 2009 public conference call. OMSAP provided written comments to EPA and MassDEP in a letter dated December 18, 2009.
