Septic Designers
Refer to the New Hampton Zoning Ordinance to determine setbacks in the different zoning districts.
The Town of New Hampton has just been added to the NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) List of Communities Requiring Local Approval Prior to RSA 485-A:32, I & II Review. You will be required to submit your design plans to our office so that the Board of Selectmen can review them prior to submission to the State for Approval for Construction.
Please refer to the “Review of Septic Designs” worksheet below, which the Selectmen will use as a checklist when reviewing the design plans. Please be aware that this review process will take place during their regularly scheduled meetings.
Review of Septic Design Worksheet
Property Owners
Septic Designs on file:
Most property files contain information for septic system designs from the early 1980’s to present. In these cases the town has a copy of your design, which you may want to refer to when locating your septic system. Septic system plans from the late 1960’s (when the State first began reviewing and approving septic systems) into the 1970’s are not as readily available.
Failed Septic Systems:
When a residential septic system is in failure, creating a nuisance and health hazard, the town health officer has the authority to order the system repaired or replaced in accordance with Administrative Rule Env-WS 1003.09. These requirements apply to both rental units and privately owned homes.
Replacement or Repair of the failed systems must be done in accordance with NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) rules and regulations (Admin. Rule Env.-WS 1003.09). You may call NHDES at 271-3501 for further information.
