New Hampshire Law Enhances Landfill Siting Process to Protect Environment
Governor Kelly Ayotte signed House Bill 707, a new law aimed at improving the landfill siting process in New Hampshire. The legislation, celebrated at a ceremonial signing at Forest Lake State Park, empowers local communities to have a say in the siting of new landfills, thereby protecting the state's natural environment. The law is a response to concerns about out-of-state waste being dumped in New Hampshire, particularly in the North Country. It represents a collaborative effort between state leaders, environmental advocates, and local residents to safeguard the state's natural beauty.
