STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty Five
A RESOLUTION opposing the permitting of a landfill next to Forest Lake State Park in Dalton, New Hampshire.
Whereas, Forest Lake State Park is one of the 10 original state parks, created in 1935. The park spans 397 acres and its 200-foot sandy beach lies on the shore of Forest Lake. Popular activities in the park include swimming, picnicking, mountain biking, fishing, and boating; and
Whereas, the stigma, nuisances, and threat to public health, safety, environment, natural resources, as well as the state and North Country tourism and outdoor recreation economies, posed by permitting an operating landfill abutting Forest Lake State Park, cannot be underestimated and is of grave concern to the general court; and
Whereas, the risks in permitting a landfill next to Forest Lake State Park far outweigh any benefit; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives:
That it is the position of the house of representatives that no landfill should be located in the vicinity of Forest Lake State Park.
