Thank you to all who attended last night's membership meeting in Westborough. We had a full house of 200 eager LSPs and other environmental professionals, and lots of networking. Liz Callahan and Nancy Bettinger of MassDEP presented an impressive review of the key topics in the 2019 "Proposed MCP Amendments." The presentation slides have been posted in the Member Materials section of the LSPA website and video will be added shortly.
Once the draft regulations are published, the LSPA Regulations Committee will be reaching out to LSPA members to solicit comments. We expect a very busy few months of assembling and vetting comments. Stay tuned for more information as it develops.
