MEPA
Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act Office (MEPA) is part of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA). They provide meaningful opportunities for public review of the potential environmental impacts of projects for which state agency action is required. They serve the general public, state agencies, municipalities, and project proponents. This project is currently under review by MEPA.
Review Process
The MEPA review process provides meaningful opportunities for public review of potential environmental impacts of certain projects for which certain actions by state agencies are required. It requires state agencies to study the environmental impacts of projects requiring state permitting, financial assistance, or land disposition, and to use all feasible measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate damage to the environment or, to the extent damage to the environment cannot be avoided, to minimize and mitigate damage to the environment to the maximum extent practicable.
