Providing translations for NHDES website content.
NHDES ensures that individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) have meaningful access to all NHDES programs. Policy guidance published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines LEP as “individuals who do not speak English as their primary language and who have a limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand English.”

Maintaining demographic data
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) ensures that no person shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination, under any program or activity receiving financial assistance from NHDES on the basis of race, color, or national origin. In addition, NHDES does not discriminate based on age, sex, marital status, religion, gender identity or gender expression, income, disability, sexual orientation, citizenship status, status as a veteran or any other legally protected status.
In order to ensure compliance with 40 C.F.R. § 7.85(a)(2), which requires the applicant/recipient of federal funds to maintain demographic data on the race, color, national origin, sex, age, or handicap of the population it serves, NHDES adheres to the following procedure:
- At the beginning of each state fiscal year, a refreshed link to the New Hampshire U.S. Census Bureau Profile will be provided on the NHDES website in a prominent location on its Civil Rights and Environmental Justice webpage.
- Data in the following categories is provided on the linked U.S. Census Bureau page:
- Populations and People.
- Income and Poverty.
- Education.
- Employment.
- Housing.
