Longer-form draft.
At the May 12 Exeter Conservation Commission meeting, several issues were raised that directly impact our community's access to land and our environmental safety. First, residents expressed significant frustration regarding the ongoing delays in opening Sperry Point Park. Despite progress being made and funds already raised for construction documents, the Commission noted that they are unable to move forward without direct action from the Select Board. For those advocating for river access and public land use, the bottleneck remains at the town leadership level. Second, the Commission discussed the potential environmental impact of a proposed waste transfer facility in Epping. The details are concerning: the site is adjacent to a Superfund site, and there are significant fears regarding PFAS contamination—with levels exceeding 1,000 nanograms per liter—as well as the logistical impact of heavy truck traffic, which could reach one truck every four minutes. Finally, the Commission is considering creating a 501(c)(3) non-profit, 'Friends of Raynes Farm.' This would allow the group to manage donations and event funding outside of the town’s formal finance and audit processes, a move prompted by the difficulty of managing small, non-cash donations through municipal systems. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/conservation-commission/2026-05-12/ #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH
