Letter to the Editor


I recently became involved in helping several distressed landowners who are bearing the brunt of Governor Lynch’s inexcusable inaction on the largest ecological disaster in New Hampshire’s recent history.


Over three years ago, the Suncook River broke through its banks during a flood and charted a new course, ripping through people’s homes, sheds, garages, fields, etc.  Of course, Governor Lynch and other officials were immediately on Channel 9 showing concern and assuring the citizens that help was on the way.


Since then, the State has done nothing except offer excuses, a half-baked study, and attempts to get the federal government to pay.  The river continues to rip away at its banks and continues to send tens of thousands of tons of silt and eroded material downstream, ruining properties and the river’s ecological system all the way to Manchester and beyond.  Some estimate that over one million cubic yards of silt has cascaded downstream, not only impacting citizens’ properties and slaughtering the environment, but also filling in the river bottom, so it floods out of its banks much more frequently.  Three years of silt and sediment and today you can still watch trees toppling down 30 to 40 foot banks into an eroded mini-grand canyon.
Amazingly, not only has the State done nothing to fix the problem, but the majority of the erosion is coming from State-owned land! Three years of trees and banks toppling into the river and being swept downstream, and not even one silt fence has been installed! DES continues to spend our money prosecuting citizens for relatively minor infractions, while the State leadership (?) continues to pass the buck on the tons of pollution flowing downstream from State land.


Time has come for citizen action against ineffective leadership.  I am seeking input from all interested parties, who may call me at 435-5005.
