The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection adopted amendments to 310 CMR 50.00, Toxic Use Reduction Act (TURA)§Phase 2. The Phase 2 regulatory amendments implement statutory changes that affect planning requirements under TURA, including new options for resource conservation planning and environmental management systems (EMSs). They establish new planning alternatives available for plans due by July 1, 2008. There are approximately 600 facilities subject to TURA in Massachusetts, many of which will be able to take advantage of the new options. TURA facilities that have completed a toxics use reduction (TUR) plan and two plan updates may choose either to develop a resource conservation plan (addressing energy use, water use, solid waste, or non-reportable toxics) or implement an EMS in lieu of further TUR plan updates. http://mass.gov/dep/toxics/laws/regulati.htm.
