Dear Senator,
(As a New Hampshire resident, a voter and an outdoor enthusiast,) I’m writing to urge you to support HB 1319, the bill to prohibit new landfills within two miles of any New Hampshire state park.
This bill – passed by the NH House by a wide margin in March – will protect our treasured state parks from the environmental insults that come with dumps: foul odors, contaminated water, toxic spills, noise, incessant truck traffic and waste from seagull scavengers that fouls our lakes and streams.
I’m concerned about one park in particular: the North Country’s Forest Lake State Park on the shores of pristine Forest Lake in Dalton. That’s where Casella Waste Systems – owner of the controversial Bethlehem dump – wants to build its next dump.
HB 1319 will protect Forest Lake and all our state parks from the negative impacts of landfills…and help keep the North Country from turning into New England’s dump.
For the sake of our children and our children’s children, I urge you to vote for HB 1319 in this year’s legislative session.
Thank you for considering my opinion. And thank you for your service to New Hampshire in this challenging time.
Sincerely,
Your name
