Two Brookfield gravel pits noted as grandfathered under RSA 155‑E if active and compliant

During its Sept. 11 meeting, the Town of Brookfield Planning Board task force discussed the status of two active gravel pits in town and recorded that each had filed reports in 1991 qualifying them for grandfathered treatment under RSA 155‑E:2.1(d). The minutes state that, provided those pits are not abandoned and otherwise continue to operate in accordance with RSA 155‑E and the Brookfield Earth Excavation and Restoration Regulations, they would not need further permits from the town.

The task force did not take any formal permitting actions at the meeting. Members requested that proposed regulatory revisions be drafted for Planning Board review; any change that would affect the grandfathering status or operational requirements of the pits would require formal board consideration and, if applicable, follow statutory processes under RSA 155‑E.
