Environmental Affairs

BIA works collaboratively with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services and business members to advance business-friendly environmental policies and regulations that preserve and protect New Hampshire's natural resources.


Top Issues

​Oppose efforts to make New Hampshire’s environmental regulations and statutes more burdensome than federal environmental regulations, unless there is clear justification for doing so.
  • Advocate for initiatives to streamline and expedite permitting and regulatory processes.
  • Advocate for creative approaches to simplify and reduce the business community’s regulatory burden, while protecting public health and the environment.
  • Foster discussions about how the Department of Environmental Services (DES) is funded, focusing on the appropriate allocation of the state’s fees and taxes.
  • Advocate for increased transparency and the effective use of state environmental fees, funds and cost recovery policies.
  • Support policies that promote private sector environmental stewardship and sustainability.
