Municipal Settings Designation

Municipal Setting Designation

The State Legislature passed the Municipal Settings Designation (MSD) Program in 2003. It allows for a historically contaminated property to be developed by eliminating the need for further investigation or cleanup. It does this by restricting the use of groundwater for drinking purposes.
