Greetings Friends of NCABC!
Your support of NH HB 1454 helped “the water bill” advance toward the Senate with resounding House support. (It’s about smart landfill siting to protect NH water bodies.)
Thank you! And now, please…
Will you make brief phone calls to the offices of the four influential NH democratic Senators listed below? Their votes are essential for the success of the bill on the Senate floor. Please ask for their support of HB 1454; leave a short voicemail if necessary. You may say why you care about protecting NH’s waters from the spills and leaks that endanger rivers and lakes near landfills.
It is helpful if ALL NCABC supporters make these calls and folks who live in the Manchester/Nashua, NH area are especially important as these Senators are your representatives in Concord. Even if you live outside NH, your call will be accepted and helpful. You can state why NH is important to you.
Manchester:
Sen. Donna Soucy (Minority Leader)—(603) 271-3207
Sen. Kevin Cavanaugh—(603) 271-4063
Sen. Lou D’allesandro—603-271-2117
Nashua:
Sen. Cindy Rosenwald—(603) 271-3207 (same number as Sen. Soucy)
Portsmouth:
Sen. Rebecca Perkins Kwoka — (603) 271-2104
HB 1454 replaces an outdated, inadequate regulation with only a 200′ buffer between landfills and NH waterbodies like rivers and lakes—less than the length of a football field! The bill’s new formula, based on the science of water flow, requires testing for new landfill sites to determine how quickly contamination from the area will endanger nearby waters. HB 1454 is a smart bill for NH. It protects public health and brings no additional cost to taxpayers.
Please make your calls soon, well before the noon deadline this Wednesday (April 20).
NCABC sends ongoing thanks for your dependable action in contacting public officials.Our supporters’ participation is among our most essential tools to prevent unnecessary and ill-considered landfill development.
Cheers for springtime!
