Going back to 2017, there was a Senate Bill (SB121) that created a Study Commission, chaired by Senator Jeb Bradley, to look at having NH assume responsibility for portions of the federal Clean Water Act. If it had occurred, this would have removed regulatory authority from EPA Region I and bestowed it to NH DES …

NH House Bill 1664, “gives the department of environmental services (NHDES) the authority to establish a climate action plan, an office of the environmental advocate, and an oversight commission on environmental services.”
A Superior Court Judge has ruled that there can be no enforcement of new stricter water rules in New Hampshire after Dec 31st while the State Supreme Court reviews the case.
We’ve provided extensive coverage of water issues related to PFOA and PFAS. Up to the recent ruling to impose ridiculously restrictive water standards. A massive fiscal burden crammed down on local municipalities and residents by the state.
With all the nonsense in the world, it’s easy to lose track of who is trying to screw you. Helpful hint: elected Democrats, about everything, always. We also have state agencies filled with Concord Swamp Rats looking to screw us over as well.
Perhaps you’ve heard about it. New Hampshire considering tighter drinking water standards for PFOA and PFAS. I may have mentioned it. Well, it’s a done deal. A Joint legislative committee has approved the ridiculously low and costly standards.
House Bill 261 lowers the acceptable level of arsenic in our drinking water to 5 ppb. Much like the PFOA/PFAS scaremongering, there is no large body of sound science (I can find) on how this change will do more than benefit State agencies while wasting millions of dollars.
To borrow from Mitch McDeere, the protagonist in John Grisham’s The Firm, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) ridiculous new water standards is a topic that’s “not sexy, but it’s got teeth.” Sharp enough to cost NH taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
At ten parts per billion (ppb), a child would need to drink 462 gallons of water a day (for some unknown period of time) to achieve the exposure level to PFOA or PFAS known to result in a likelihood of adverse health effects. New Hampshire’s Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) is recommending 12-15 parts per …

I have to keep dipping into this well because the disinformation campaign won’t let it go. Merrimack had a PFOA contamination problem. People are right to want more information. But the campaign has descended into a circus as “residents” demand unrealistic and unnecessary regulatory standards.
