The New Hampshire House of Representatives has voted to extend a ban on the incineration of construction and demolition debris, according to a report in the Union Leader (Manchester, N.H.).

 

Without the passage of House Bill 1433, the current moratorium on C&D burning would expire July 1, 2006. The ban was put in place to allow a study on the potential danger of burning the material, according to the report.

 

According to the report, New Hampshire took in approximately 640,000 tons of C&D debris in 2004, about a third of it from other states.
