Resumen

This Chapter of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes concerns the Southeast Watershed Alliance. It provides that the purposes of this Chapter are to (a) create better municipal, intermunicipal, and regional planning and coordination relative to wastewater and stormwater management, water quality and water supply planning, and land use; (b) establish a regional framework for coastal watershed communities, regional planning commissions, the state, and other stakeholders to collaborate on planning and implementation measures to improve and protect water quality and more effectively address the challenges of meeting clean water standards, particularly with respect to nutrients pollution; (c) encourage coastal watershed municipalities, the state, and other stakeholders, individually and in collaboration with one another, to plan, implement, and invest in wastewater, stormwater, and land use planning and management approaches that protect the water quality, natural hydrology, and habitats of the state's coastal resources and associated waters and that advance the state's economic growth, resource protection, and planning policy, established in RSA 9-B; and (d) seek innovative solutions to reducing pollution and enhancing water quality. For this purpose, the Chapter establishes public body corporate and politic having a distinct legal existence separate from the state and not constituting a department or agency of the state government to be known as the Southeast Watershed Alliance, also known as the Alliance. The Alliance shall include those municipalities in New Hampshire whose boundaries include a portion of the coastal watershed and who have agreed to participate the Alliance.
