LSPA Introduced New Practice Tip at the March 2025 Membership Meeting

Mar

The following LSPA practice tip was introduced at the March 2025 Membership Meeting, which was held via Zoom on March 20, 2025.

Practice Tip of the Month
Spring is a good time to document the condition of monitoring wells, especially after a busy snowplow season. Well covers that are damaged over the winter may no longer meet the requirements of 310 CMR 40.0028, which specifies:

Responsible Parties, Potentially Responsible Parties, and Other Persons undertaking response actions shall ensure that any well installed or constructed for the purposes of sampling, monitoring or remediating environmental media or environmental conditions as part of response actions conducted under the MCP:

a) is documented as to its location (latitude and longitude) in a form* provided by the Department for such purposes; and

b) is maintained and secured throughout its period of service and until it is properly decommissioned to prevent the introduction of contaminants to the subsurface environment or the exacerbation of groundwater contamination by the vertical movement of water within the borehole or annular space.

*Form is under development at MassDEP.
