rules applying to operating an outdoor pellet boiler for ME, NH, MA

[rowerwet]

I operated my pellet boiler in ME, not much in the way or rules there. 35' from the house.
I know NH has some sort of set back from the house relating to chimney height.
I don't know what MA requires.

Now I have someone interested in buying the Maxim, and I'm trying to help him with state rules. Can anybody name the rules for MA and NH?
thanks

Here is a summary of the NH rules for OWB, if you have questions the DES folks are pretty helpful if you call them. I don't know if there are specifc regs for outdoorpellet boilers.

Therefore in order to install the boiler in NH, its got to be a phase 2 unit.

I haven't read the mass regs but here they are http://www.mass.gov/eea/docs/dep/service/regulations/ohhregfl.pdf
I think the OWB has to be phase 2

I don't think I would go beyond telling a prospective buyer who to ask about the rules - or just advising them to check local authorities.

Passing along rules themselves or interpretations of them could make for trouble later if a problem should arise. There might also be localized things (local bylaws?) come into play that you would have no idea about.

I'd advise them to call their local building department and ask.

the possible buyer is waiting to hear from his town hall, Peakbagger gave me the best info, as far as I can tell the boiler meets the air regs, the setback may be an issue. Just glad it is pellets, wood makes for a whole bunch of hoops to jump through
