Facility engineering report files, <1969>-[ongoing].

The Division of Industrial Waste Water Management implements programs to prevent or clean up the pollution of surface and ground water in Massachusetts by industry. Entities authorized to construct, own, operate, extend, or improve abatement facilities must submit preliminary engineering reports of final engineering plans to the division for approval (MGLA c 21, s 338). Facility engineering reports are retained by the division to review, revise, and approve plans for treatment facilities, and to document the treatment process on which inspections, enforcement actions, and licensing will be based. Files contain drawings, plans, specifications, and approval letters. Information includes analysis of wastes to be disposed; physical, biological and chemical wastewater treatment needed; volume and characteristics of effluents; and process of treatment planned.
