Now a Squam Lake resident speaks up on the same subject, stressing that the State needs to enforce its own laws.
Quote:
Excerpt:
"...The time has come for a sea change in the state’s policy on boathouses. We need to consider our natural resources and what we are doing to them as we squander their beauty and function. Golden Pond and all those other wonderful and beautiful lakes and ponds will be ruined forever if this destructive development continues and the state does not enforce the law that our Legislature passed on behalf of New Hampshire citizens."

Haven't we seen this "need to enforce" problem before?
Editing 06/18/05, to add:
DES is being sued, for State to enforce its own laws by Conservation Law Foundation:
Quote:
Brad Kuster, a lawyer for the foundation, said there are less destructive ways of mooring and storing boats than building boathouses.
Such construction, he said, requires extensive dredging and shoreline excavation that increases runoff of deposits and excessive nutrients, exposing lakes to invasions of nonnative plants.

(I think this means inadequate
silt control).
