opposing the permitting of a landfill next to Forest Lake State Park in Dalton, New Hampshire.
HR 13 is a New Hampshire legislative resolution opposing the permitting of a landfill adjacent to Forest Lake State Park in Dalton. The resolution formally expresses the legislature's stance based on the park's ecological significance (including its 397 acres, 200-foot beach, and role in recreational activities), its economic value to tourism (supporting $2.35 billion in visitor spending annually), and New Hampshire's commitment to protecting natural resources. It does not create new laws but urges state agencies to deny the landfill permit by citing the park's role in flood control, water quality, wildlife habitat, and the state's conservation mission. The resolution passed committee with a 14-0 vote and was approved by the full chamber.
