NH DES seeks more information on Jellystone Campground wetlands permit after local concerns
Summary
New Hampshire DES has asked the Jellystone Campground for substantially more information on its wetlands permit application, citing concerns from downstream neighbors and the Saco‑Swift River Local Advisory Committee about bank hardening and use of nonnative species in revegetation.
The commission discussed the Jellystone Campground wetlands permit application, noting that the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has requested substantially more information from the campground.
Commission members said DES’s requests include responses to concerns raised by downstream neighbors and the Saco‑Swift River Local Advisory Committee about how proposed bank hardening could affect erosion at other locations downstream, and about plans to use nonnative species for revegetation. The commission did not take formal action at the meeting but recorded the DES response and local concerns for ongoing monitoring.
No new materials or responses from the campground were presented at the meeting; commissioners did not vote or direct staff to take enforcement action during the session.
