MassDEP requires that the cleanup of contaminated property be documented so that there is a complete record of what is known about the contamination and what was done to clean it up. These documents are submitted to MassDEP (usually electronically) accompanied by standard Transmittal Forms that allow the information to be entered into our data systems.
There are transmittal forms for each specific type of document, plus one to use for miscellaneous documents (letters, reports, etc.)
