An Act relative to Title V approval

This bill establishes a "state environmental code" under Massachusetts law, setting standards for environmental protection and public well-being, including sewage disposal regulations. It requires professional engineers to prepare most sewage system plans (except for small domestic systems under 2,000 gallons/day, which sanitarians may handle), and exempts certain family property transfers (spouses, parents/children, siblings, trusts, or recent installations) from ground-level sewage system inspections. The bill also mandates the Department of Environmental Protection to minimize paperwork burdens for individuals, businesses, and local agencies by reducing redundant forms and streamlining information collection. These provisions apply to all entities subject to the environmental code, including local health authorities enforcing compliance.
