New Hampshire HB1622 mandates the development of additional solid waste disposal capacity, prioritizing expansions of existing landfills over new.
New Hampshire HB1622 requires the state to prioritize the expansion of existing landfills over the development of new sites for solid waste disposal. The Department of Environmental Services must give first preference to expanding existing landfills and second preference to brownfield sites. Greenfield applications for new landfills are only considered if there are no pending expansion or brownfield applications and if the state faces a capacity shortfall for at least half of the permit period. The department must compile a list of existing landfills and report on potential future capacity.
