The regulations are at
http://des.nh.gov/organization/commi...ules/index.htm ... as someone said they are very complicated.
Env-Wt 506.01 says "The following projects shall qualify for the permit by notification process ... (9) The replenishment of an existing beach that meets the criteria in Env-Wt 303.04(aa)"
Env-Wt 303.04(aa) says: "Replenishment of sand on an existing beach, provided:
(1) No sand shall be placed below the high water line or full pond elevation;
(2) No work shall be conducted in or adjacent to prime wetland;
(3) No more than 10 cubic yards of sand shall be used; and
(4) The beach replenishment shall not exceed the limit of one replenishment in any 6 year period;"
Be careful to chase down the definitions of the worlds used in case they are defined Env-Wt 101 or any relevant statutes (RSAs) (e.g. RSA 482-A:15 for "prime wetlands.") because they might not mean what you would think.
Env-Wt 506.02 and 506.03 describe procedures for permit by notification, which involve notifying the town (who sends a copy to DES) and what procedures to follow after the completion of the project.
