NCABC is joining Save Forest Lake, the Conservation Law Foundation, NH Sierra Club, Community Action and many concerned folks at a “DO THE RIGHT THING” rally at the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services at its headquarters on Hazen Drive in Concord, N.H.
This is another opportunity for every voice to be heard to encourage DES to deny the wetlands permit which will destroy 17 acres of wetlands, seven vernal pools and forever put Forest Lake and its treasured state park, the Ammonoosuc river and surrounding communities of Whitefield, Dalton, Bethlehem and Littleton at risk for toxic groundwater and air pollution, noise and heavy traffic.
Stop our beautiful North Country from becoming New England’s dump — up to 49% of trash is expected to be imported hundreds of miles from Massachusetts and other states to this location by this landfill company with a long history of local community exploitation and incompetent landfill management.
Where: DES headquarters: 29 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH. Park on-site.
When: Friday, Sept. 10 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
What to do/bring: The rally is permitted by the state. Bring signs and as many supporters as you can.
Any change to plans or updates will be posted to this page.
