The Commission has adopted as part of these regulations the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's Stormwater
Management Standards per 310 CMR 10.05(6)(k)(1) through (10), as those
standards may be amended from time to time. The stormwater management
standards apply to industrial, commercial, institutional, residential
subdivision, and roadway projects, including, but not limited to,
site preparation, construction, redevelopment, and ongoing operation
of facilities. For projects of any size, direct discharge of untreated
stormwater to wetland resource areas is prohibited and erosion and
sedimentation control must be provided during construction. For projects
of any size, peak rates of runoff shall not increase above those of
preexisting conditions.
