Best Management Practices to Prevent
Groundwater Contamination
The State of New Hampshire's Best Management
Practices Rules apply to all facilities that handle
larger-than-household quantities of regulated
substances. These facilities are identified in New
Hampshire's Groundwater Protection Act (RSA 485-C)
as Potential Contamination Sources (PCSs) (a
general list can be found within the fact sheet
below). The purpose of the BMPs outlined in the
rules is to prevent a release of regulated
substances. The BMPs in the rules are essentially
common-sense operating practices that have already
been adopted by businesses interested in minimizing
their environmental liability.
