New Hampshire HB1607 regulates the storage and management of road salt to prevent groundwater contamination.
New Hampshire HB1607 amends RSA 485-C by adding a new section on the storage and management of snow and ice control chemicals. It prohibits storing sodium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, or salt-treated abrasives on road parking lots and sidewalks in a way that could contaminate groundwater or surface water. The Department of Environmental Services will issue regulations on the proper storage and management of these chemicals, with additional requirements if they are stored near areas impacted by previous chemical use. This act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
