requiring notification of abutters and public review prior to disturbing beaver dams in non-emergency situations.

Summary

HB 1530 would let property owners remove or lower beaver dams that affect shared water bodies without a permit, but only after notifying the local government, conservation commission, and any adjacent landowners at least 30 days before the work. It also requires a public informational meeting at least 15 days prior, with notice published in a local newspaper or online. The measure was deemed failed and did not become law.
