Compliance Tip of the Month
Many MassDEP Notices of Noncompliance (NONs) stem from documentation and administrative errors in the MCP submittals rather than technical deficiencies. Per 310 CMR 40.0022(2) and 310 CMR 40.0023(1)(2), before submitting reports, forms, AULs, and other regulatory documents, verify that the correct legal entity name, responsible party information, property details, and supporting documentation are used consistently throughout the record. A thorough quality control review can help prevent NONs and ensure the administrative record fully supports the site's regulatory status.
