Wetlands in Easton
Wetlands are a valuable natural resource protected by the town of Easton and the State
of New Hampshire, as well as the US Federal Government. In all wetlands jurisdictions,
the more restrictive regulations apply.
It is the responsibility of each Easton landowner to know that the permitted uses of
wetlands are limited and that no structures can be erected or constructed on wetlands.
The Wetlands Resource
Identifying Wetlands
The Grafton County Soil Survey and Easton Natural Resources Maps are available at
the Easton Town Hall for identifying the potential presence of wetlands. Wetlands/upland
boundaries can be delineated by a certified soils scientist.
Clues to Identifying Forested Wetlands
Permitted Uses of Wetlands
Approved wetlands uses are listed in the Easton Zoning Ordinances, Section 604
WETLAND CONSERVATION DISTRICT. For specific wetlands uses (i.e. driveways that
cross wetlands), NH Department of Environmental Services (NH DES) permits, as well as
zoning variances, are required.

are not copper or steel tools,
but the gentle touches of air
and water working at their
leisure with a liberal
allowance of time."
