The Selectboard reported receipt of a Department of Environmental Services permit to remove Pierce Pond Dam, valid through Feb. 18, 2031, and agreed to issue an RFP once bonding is approved by voters.

The Selectboard noted that the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services issued a permit authorizing removal of Pierce Pond Dam; the minutes state the permit expires on Feb. 18, 2031. The board said it will issue a request for proposals to carry out the removal once the bond necessary to fund the work is approved at Town Meeting and a final project amount is determined.
