Bill > HB05676

This bill seeks to modify the existing statutes related to water level management for the Colebrook River Lake, based on a report prepared by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). The bill allows for the redesignation of water levels, which means the state is adjusting the authorized or recommended water elevation for the lake, potentially to improve water resource management, flood control, or other environmental considerations. While the bill does not provide specific details about the exact water level changes, it grants the state (through DEEP) the authority to update the lake's water management parameters. The proposed changes appear to be technical in nature and aim to align the legal description of the lake's water levels with current environmental assessments or management needs. The bill is relatively straightforward, focusing on giving official recognition to potential adjustments in how the state manages the water levels of the Colebrook River Lake.
