The April 18, 2011 Concord Monitor article (see post #7) "The Health of state's lakes, rivers is at risk" by Jana Hays, a volunteer water sample taker from New Hampton is all about the under-funding and discontinuation of the volunteer-professional NH-DES program that takes water samples and performs water testing for various types of bacteria in NH waters all over the state. This program has been in place for an unknown (to me) number of years and was testing the water in NH's lakes, rivers, public swimming pools and public hot tubs such as at a hotel. Tests were routinely made for e-coli bacteria, cyano bacteria, and other water quality tests such as for phosphates that originate from runoff of fertilized grass lawns.
I'm not sure, but it very well could be that a legislative bill is not needed to under fund or discontinue the water tests as performed by the NH-DES. Possibly, all that's needed is a NO vote from the 5-member, currently all-republican Governor's Executive Council and that would stop the money pay-out needed to conduct the testing process?
