This resolution expresses strong opposition to the permitting of a landfill adjacent to Forest Lake State Park in Dalton, New Hampshire. Established in 1935, the park encompasses 397 acres and features a sandy beach along Forest Lake, offering various recreational activities such as swimming, picnicking, and boating. The resolution highlights the potential negative impacts of a landfill on public health, safety, and the environment, as well as the detrimental effects on tourism and outdoor recreation in the North Country region.

The House of Representatives asserts that the risks associated with permitting a landfill near the park significantly outweigh any potential benefits. Consequently, the resolution urges the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services to deny any landfill permits in the vicinity of Forest Lake State Park, emphasizing the importance of protecting this valuable natural resource and recreational area for the community and future generations.
