Extends the Department of Environmental Services' authority to evaluate and mitigate contamination risks in new community water systems.

New Hampshire HB1089 amends RSA 485-C:26 to extend the Department of Environmental Services' authority to evaluate and mitigate contamination risks in new community water systems. The bill specifies criteria and procedures for groundwater withdrawals less than 57,600 gallons over any 24-hour period, ensuring these withdrawals do not cause unmitigated impact to existing private water supply wells. This extension aims to protect public health by preventing contamination in community water systems.
