When are monthly reports due to the MA DEP?

Monthly reports to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MA DEP) are due on the 15th day of every month. This timeline allows the regulatory agency to maintain an up-to-date record of compliance and operational status for wastewater treatment facilities. By requiring reports to be submitted mid-month, the MA DEP can promptly address any emerging issues or trends in wastewater management, ensuring that environmental standards are upheld and that any necessary actions are taken in a timely manner.

Due dates that do not align with the 15th of the month would not provide the necessary interval for both operators to collect data from the previous month and for the DEP to effectively use that data for monitoring and enforcement purposes. Therefore, the established schedule supports effective management and regulatory oversight.
