What it means: This is an update of the Aquifer Protection District Ordinance that renames the district as the Groundwater Protection District Ordinance; expands the ‘purpose’ section of the ordinance to convey its goals more clearly; improves design requirements within the district; incorporates new definitions and modifies existing definitions; and expands the district to better protect the Town’s drinking water resources. It was explained that although the Ground Water Protection District is being increased, for the most part, state regulations already stipulate much of the requirements being added to Hampton’s ordinance so it brings our ordinances more in line with other regulations without greatly adding to the compliance burden.
