This checklist is a starting point. Check each item against your current permit and your agency's standards before relying on it. New Hampshire is covered by EPA's 2022 Construction General Permit. Larger sites also need an NHDES Alteration of Terrain permit (RSA 485-A:17), whose conditions are checked here too. Check each template against the current permit and your local requirements before relying on it.
