Public Meeting Scheduled for June 21st to Present NHDOT Decision Regarding Taylor River Dam

The decision on which of the options regarding the Taylor River Dam will be presented at the June 21st meeting to take place take place on that date at 6:30 p.m. in the Selectmen's Meeting Room at Hampton Town Hall. The options of dam removal or reconstruction were studied and presented back in November 2009, and public testimony collected.

The feasibility studies are available for viewing at http://www.nh.gov/dot/projects/hampton13408b/index.htm

While several conservation organizations, including GBTU, supported dam removal and adequate toxic sediment mitigation, concerns regarding accidental release of those sediments containing DDT related compounds, which could potentially threaten clam flats downstream of the dam, were strongly voiced by other involved parties at the hearings and in testimony.
