General Announcements

Archived MEPA Files

Please note that, with some exceptions, the files for all projects that have undergone MEPA review with an EEA# less than 10140 are now housed in the State Archives Building. If you wish to view any of these files, a request must be made in writing or via e-mail to Josie Wixon, Administrative Assistant, of the MEPA Office. Josie's e-mail address is josephine.wixon@state.ma.us. Because deliveries are made only periodically, please allow up to one month in order to retrieve any requested files.

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.
