Online 21E Site File Review

Many waste site / reportable release files are now available online through the Searchable Site List, eliminating the need to travel to our Regional Offices. The Searchable Site List provides a summary of the site status and links to all online documents available for a site. This database is updated at least once a week and provides access to the following documents:

Reports submitted electronically through eDEP for a site.
Scanned copies of paper reports submitted for a site. Scanning of the paper records is not yet complete.

Availability of Scanned Files

MassDEP's Bureau of Waste Site Cleanup is in the process of scanning the historic (paper) documents for all the 21E disposal sites. Once complete, the availability of these documents online will provide 24/7 access that will eliminate the need to conduct 21E file reviews in the MassDEP Regional Offices. The scanned files will be made available in monthly uploads, on a town-by-town basis. The following map depicts the availability of online files:
