Protection

(1) No person shall conduct an activity that is prohibited by 310 CMR 27.00 or that will endanger an aquifer or portion of an aquifer that meets the definition of an underground source of drinking water. The following guidance documents describe methods and procedures the Department deems likely to achieve this standard: (a) MassDEP Standard Design Guidelines for Shallow UIC Class V Injection Wells; (b) MassDEP Guidelines for Ground Source Heat Pump Wells; (c) MassDEP fact sheet: Registration of Discharges to the Ground from Pump Houses and Other Public Water System Facilities Including Discharges from In-line Analyzers; and (d) MassDEP Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook.
