Notices of Project Change
Please note that the Environmental Monitor will now include scanned copies of Notices of Project Change (NPCs) in order to facilitate public review and comment. Although not specifically required by the MEPA regulations, we are now requesting that project proponents provide a separate copy of the NPC form (just as with the ENF) in order to facilitate scanning, as well as two copies of the full NPC submission.
Requests for Advisory Opinion
Please note that the Environmental Monitor will now include scanned copies of Requests for Advisory Opinion if the request concerns a determination that a project constitutes Routine Maintenance or a Replacement Project, in accordance with the MEPA regulations at 301 CMR 11.01(6)(c). Written comments on the request will be accepted for a period of twenty (20) days following publication of the Environmental Monitor, and the Secretary of Environmental Affairs will issue an Advisory Opinion within ten (10) days of the close of the coment period.
