As states face tight budgets in the economic downturn, a new report released by Environment New Hampshire draws on the experience of 15 states in securing reliable funding for open space programs.
Environment New Hampshire, a state-based environmental organization, is calling for passage and implementation of two policies this session that will provide strong protections for New Hampshire’s waterways. The two bills seek to protect New Hampshire’s wetlands from overdevelopment. SB 435 calls for an update to the permitting process for development in New Hampshire’s wetlands and HB 1579-FN proposes a 75 foot setback requirement from wetlands for structures and septic systems.
