New Amendments to Shoreland Protection Act Effective July 1, 2008
Effective July 1, 2008, new amendments to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA), RSA 483 B, took effect across New Hampshire. Permits must be obtained from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) prior to undertaking most types of construction, excavation and filling projects within 250 feet of lakes and ponds greater than 10 acres, tidal waters, fourth order streams and designated rivers. The Town will work to ensure that town-issued permits or approvals for affected properties are coordinated with the CSPA requirements. For further information, contact Jay Aube at DES at 603-271-8176, or go to www.des.nh.gov/cspa.
Air Permits Required for Rock Crushing Operations
Many contractors use either stationary or mobile rock crushing machines to break large rocks into smaller rocks, including gravel. In most instances an air emissions permit for the operation of such facilities must be obtained in advance from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) Air Resources Division. A list of currently-permitted rock crushing facilities, by town or name of facility, is available for review on the DES website at www2.des.state.nh.us/OneStop/Air_Stationary_Source_Query.aspx. For general information, or if you are aware of any rock crushing operations of a permanent or temporary nature that may not currently have such a permit, please contact Todd Moore at DES at 603-271-6798, or
Michele Andy at DES at 603-271-6793.
