The Center Harbor Conservation Commission
is a volunteer organization established pursuant to RSA 36-A
specifically for the protection of the Town's natural resources,
to develop and maintain an inventory of those natural resources, to
preserve open space and scenic views, to monitor conservation easements
held by the Town, to protect water quality and to develop and
distribute information to the public on conservation issues. The CHCC
is an advisory group offering advice on conservation matters to the
Center Harbor Board of Selectmen, Planning Board, Zoning Board of
Adjustment and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services.
The Commission reviews and comments on wetland permit applications
prior to forwarding the applications to the NHDES Wetlands Bureau.
The CHCC will maintain accurate records of it's meetings and
actions.
Getting Help with the Permitting Process
If you are thinking about adding a seasonal dock, building
a multi-use pond, or doing any alteration of terrain that may
require a permit to be submitted, you can always contact the Conservation
Commission for advice. Or, if you want to submit your application yourself,
you can read through the following useful information:
- Start with The Permit Guidebook
it contains all the information on what kind of permit you'll need, what you'll need to
file it properly, and how to file it to state and local offices.
- If you already know you'll need a Wetland-related permit, read the
Guidebook for Wetland Permits.
This Guidebook is a very simple, step-by-step process for the layperson.
- Want to replace or build a dock? Criteria for Dock Construction
- Thinking of building a pond on your property? You'll need to read this:
