Civil Engineering in New Hampshire: what governs your project
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) administers the state's NPDES program and a wetlands bureau regulating work in and near wetlands. The Shoreland Water Quality Protection Act restricts development within 250 feet of public waters. Driveway access to state roads requires a New Hampshire Department of Transportation permit.
Permitting & plan check
Permitting is municipal, handled by planning boards and building departments in each city and town. There is no broad state building-permit layer, but NHDES wetlands and shoreland reviews run alongside local approvals for affected sites.
