Dredge and Fill of Wetlands

The NH statute regulating the dredging and filling of wetlands (RSA 482-A) allows a Conservation Commission to request time to investigate an application for a NH Department of Environmental Services NHDES Wetlands Bureau Dredge and Fill permit. If the Commission makes a request to intervene within 14 days of the date the application is signed by the town clerk, the Bureau must delay action on that application until a report is received from the Conservation Commission or until 40 days from the date of the clerk's signature, whichever comes first.

Please contact the State of New Hampshire  Department of Environmental Services for more information.
