Welcome to the Bureau of Environment!
The Bureau of Environment's principal role is to advance the Department’s mission of “Transportation excellence enhancing the quality of life in New Hampshire,” and Environmental Policy (ENV 1), by evaluating transportation construction projects and maintenance activities and making recommendations on ways to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate impacts on natural, cultural and socioeconomic resources.
