What you need for WP11, 12: Groundwater Discharge Permit Renewals or Modifications
This permit is required for a renewal or modification for an existing non-industrial groundwater discharge regulated by MassDEP under an individual groundwater discharge permit (314 CMR 5.00); or for the renewal or modification of an existing reclaimed water system regulated by MassDEP under an individual reclaimed water permit (314 CMR 20.00). This serves to protect the public health, welfare and the environment through the control of pollutant discharges to the ground.

A permit modification or renewal without plan approval (BRP WP 12) consists of minor modifications to the existing permit conditions necessary to bring the groundwater discharge into compliance with current regulatory requirements.
