STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Ten
A RESOLUTION directing the department of transportation and the department of environmental services to study the prevention of further erosion of the east bank of the Exeter River.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
Whereas, the replacement of bridge 096095 in 1998 changed the course of the Exeter River immediately downstream of the bridge; and
Whereas, the change in the course of the river causes the river to erode the east bank during floods; and
Whereas, such erosion threatens the property on the east river bank, including the Liberty Market located at the intersection of New Hampshire Route 107 and Sandown Road in Freemont; and
Whereas, the substantial changes to the river include the width of the channel, the roughness of the walls, and the removal of the center support which was angled so as to direct water away from the east bank of the river; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
That the general court of the state of New Hampshire hereby directs the department of transportation and the department of environmental services to perform a study to determine the least costly method to prevent further erosion of the east bank of the Exeter River downstream of bridge 096095 and prepare all necessary permit application to affect said further erosion.
