Model Groundwater Protection Ordinance 2019 Update
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services created and periodically updates, the Model Groundwater Protection Ordinance to serve as a reference for communities seeking to adopt local controls to protect groundwater that may serve as a source of drinking water.
The Model ordinance was last updated in 2015 and is scheduled to be updated this summer.
Please take a moment to review the model ordinance, review your own ordinance, or think back to a recent planning effort in your community, and let us know how the model ordinance can be improved upon. A link to the Model Groundwater Protection Ordinance is below.
If you have any questions or comments on this process or have additional input, please contact Andrew Madison at 603-271-2950 or Andrew.Madison@des.nh.gov.
