New Hampshire Statutes
§ 483-F:1 — Purpose Statement
The general court recognizes that polychlorinated bi-phenyl (PCB) contamination is widespread in New Hampshire and impacts both land and water. As a result of PCB laden products used both as intended and inappropriately dumped from 1929-1977, over 100 waterways have become impaired for fish consumption. In addition, waterfowl have been found to have high levels of PCBs in their blood and in their eggs. The general court hereby declares that the purpose of this chapter is to better understand the impact of PCBs on aquatic life and to ameliorate those impacts to the greatest extent possible.
