SB27: Representative (name not specified) Information Only00:49:54.880 - 9:48:40 AM; The representative sought clarification on the waiver process used by DES, particularly how it applies to specific cases. The response explained that the waiver process is linked to a specific case in Portsmouth around 2007-2008, allowing conversion of commercial to living space based on reduced loading. It was noted that DES has not issued such waivers due to a lack of clear legislative authority and seeks further guidance.
SB27: Representative Taylor Information Only00:52:11.359 - 9:50:57 AM; Representative Taylor inquired about other cases pending legislation involving buildings over water. He was not aware of any specific cases that invoke the statute in question.

She addressed concerns about the project, acknowledging the environmental study done and expressing satisfaction with the recommendations. Blae pointed out limitations of current accessibility tools at the beach, such as the seasonal mats and limited availability of recreational wheelchairs, which do not allow for independent access to the water. She supported the state's efforts to continue such projects and answered questions about the accessibility from parking areas to the proposed pier and the council's involvement in reviewing broader accessibility studies for the state park.
SB299: Senator Howard Pearl, District 17, Loudon Support01:39:55.000 - 10:38:41 AM; Senator Howard Pearl introduced Senate Bill 299, explaining that the current penalty provisions in the Shoreland Protection Act do not sufficiently address violations by contractors who work without necessary permits or ignore permit criteria. He highlighted that such practices give these contractors an unfair advantage and leave property owners to deal with the consequences of violations. Pearl noted that while most contractors follow the law, some bad actors cause violations without their clients' knowledge. He pointed out a loophole where, if a property owner restores a site after being notified of a violation, the state has no mechanism to penalize the contractor responsible for the violation. The senator emphasized that this bill aims to close this loophole and mentioned that it passed the Senate without objection. He offered members of the DEES team to answer specific questions about the Shoreland Protection Act.
SB299: Andrea Lamaro, President, New Hampshire Lakes Support01:43:00.639 - 10:41:46 AM; Andrea Lamaro, representing New Hampshire Lakes, expressed support for Senate Bill 299.

SB299: Darlene Force, Wetlands Bureau Administrator, New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Support01:47:15.040 - 10:46:01 AM; Darlene Force, from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, supported the legislation, explaining that the current law does not adequately address repeat offenders among contractors. She highlighted the need for the bill to provide a tool for encouraging contractors to adhere to regulations through education and potential fines. She mentioned the difficulties faced by homeowners when contractors do not follow the necessary permits and regulations, and the department's efforts to educate contractors through various means.
SB299: Representative Taylor Support01:51:51.239 - 10:50:37 AM; Representative Taylor expressed hope that DEES would take action if the bill passes, increasing penalties for administrative fines, and viewed the proposal positively.

SB110: Matt Mayberry, CEO of the New Hampshire Homebuilders Association Support03:04:42.600 - 12:03:28 PM; Matt Mayberry testified in support of the bill, emphasizing the potential benefits for addressing New Hampshire's housing crisis. He highlighted that the bill would not cost taxpayers any money but would facilitate a private-public partnership with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES). Mayberry explained that the bill would allow developers to fast-track terrain alteration permits, proposing an increase in the alteration of terrain (AOT) threshold from 100,000 to 150,000 square feet. This change would enable developers to build more homes without waiting for formal DES approval, specifically noting that this adjustment would be suitable for developments with about six homes. He also mentioned that this is part of a broader set of bills aimed at reducing red tape and bureaucracy to improve housing development.
SB110: Meredith Hatfield, The Nature Conservancy Oppose03:15:16.359 - 12:14:02 PM; Meredith Hatfield expressed concerns about the bill on behalf of The Nature Conservancy. While acknowledging the Senate's efforts to improve the bill, she raised issues about its broad application, suggesting it should be limited to housing projects. Hatfield questioned whether the increased fees in the bill would be sufficient to cover the additional staff time needed at DES for the increased number of projects under the permit by notification (PBN) process. She also discussed the implications of increasing the AOT threshold from 100,000 to 150,000 square feet, noting the reduction from the original bill's proposal.
SB110: Philip Trobridge, Manager of the Land Resources Management Program at New Hampshire DES Information Only03:17:49.279 - 12:16:35 PM; Philip Trobridge provided detailed information about the alteration of terrain permitting process and its objectives, which include erosion control, maintaining site hydrology, and groundwater recharge. He explained the implications of the bill, which aims to expedite permitting processes in response to the housing crisis, aligning with initiatives in HB2. Trobridge noted the bill's amendment by the Senate to implement a permit by notification process for projects between 100,000 and 150,000 square feet, not subject to the Shoreland Protection Act, and the associated fee increases. He also addressed concerns raised by the Regional Management Advisory Committee (RMAC) about the review timeframes and proposed that these could be managed through rules requiring consultation before PBN submissions.
SB110: Representative Darby Information Only03:24:03.120 - 12:22:49 PM; Representative Darby asked for clarification on whether the language in the Senate amended version of HB2 matches the original version, confirming it does.
SB110: Philip Trobridge, Manager of the Land Resources Management Program at New Hampshire DES Information Only03:25:08.080 - 12:23:54 PM; Philip Trobridge responded to Representative Darby's question, confirming the language check. He then addressed a question about the recourse if the DES finds issues with submitted plans. He explained that they plan to implement a compliance assurance auditing process, which includes random auditing to ensure accuracy in project execution. If work does not meet permit conditions, they have a progressive discipline process starting with requests for correction and escalating to formal enforcement if necessary.
SB110: Representative Nab Information Only03:25:38.000 - 12:24:24 PM; Representative Nab asked about the breakdown of permits between housing and commercial projects. Philip Trobridge responded that approximately 30% of alteration of terrain projects are for housing, though it's challenging to categorize projects due to multi-use developments.
SB110: Representative Nab Information Only03:26:45.080 - 12:25:31 PM; Representative Nab questioned the necessity of SB110FN if similar language is already included in HB2 as amended by 1488H. Philip Trobridge noted that SB110FN was introduced first and needs to complete its legislative process.
