The Details of WS 37: Approval of Transient Non-Community Source Less than 7 Gallons per Minute
What you need for WS 37: Approval of Transient Non-Community Source Less than 7 Gallons per Minute
This is an approval for the development of a transient non-community public water supply source for which an approved withdrawal rate of less than 7 gallons per minute (10,000 gallons per day) is being sought. The necessary components for a transient non-community source with an approved rate of less than 7 gallons per minute are described in the Drinking Water Program’s Guidelines and Policies for Public Water Systems. The Drinking Water Regulations, in particular 310 CMR 22.21, govern all aspects of the source development process.
This permit streamlines the source development process by reducing the required permits from two to one. It also reduces the required information for approval of the source and allows, in addition to Registered Professional Engineers and geologists skilled in water supply development, Massachusetts Registered Well Drillers to submit permit applications.
Any individual or company that intends to develop a source of public water with a yield of less than 7 gallons per minute and meets the definition of a transient non-community water system must apply for this approval.
The following requirements should be considered when applying:
- A Request for Determination of Applicability (Form No. 1-310 CMR 10.99) as required under the Wetlands Protection Act MGL c. 131 s. 40 and the regulations at 310 CMR 10.00 must be filed with the local conservation commission if work is proposed within 100 feet of a wetland.
- Before applying for this approval, consideration should be given to the ability to own the Zone I; and
- How surrounding development and history may influence water quality and how the site lends itself to development.
