CHAPTER Ncr 300 NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM
REVISION NOTE:
Pursuant to 2017, 156:15,
effective 7-1-17, the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources was established
under RSA 12-A:1, and the Department of Resources and Economic Development was
abolished Pursuant to 2017, 156:14, effective 7-1-17 references to the
Department of Resources and Economic Development in RSA 217-A titled “New
Hampshire Native Plant Protection” were changed to the Department of Natural
and Cultural Resources, thereby transferring authority under RSA 217-A to the
new department.
Pursuant to 2017, 156:49,
effective 7-1-17, existing rules numbered with the tile “Res” were transferred
to the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources or the new Department of
Business Affairs, as applicable.
However, the former rules numbered Res 1101 through Res 1107 in Chapter
Res 1100 on the Natural Heritage Program had last been filed under Document
#9479, effective 6-1-09, and had expired 6-1-17. The former rules Res 1108 titled “Natural
Heritage Inventory” in Chapter Res 1100 had last been filed under Document
#8386, effective 6-28-05, and had expired 6-28-13. The Department of Natural
and Cultural Resources therefore renumbered the former Chapter Res 1100 as Ncr 1100 and adopted it as an interim rule under Document #12825, effective
7-10-19, which was scheduled to expire 1-6-20.
The Department subsequently
readopted with amendment and renumbered Ncr 1108 as Ncr 312 in a new chapter Ncr 300
titled “Natural Heritage Program” under Document #12964, effective 1-1-20. Ncr 1101-1107
expired 1-6-20. The Department then
adopted the former Ncr 1101 as Ncr
301, and adopted with changes the former Ncr 1102
through Ncr 1107 as Ncr 301
through Ncr 311, under Document #12980, effective
1-24-20.
Document
#12964 and Document #12980 replace all prior filings for rules in the former
Res 1100 and Ncr 1100. The prior filings include the following
documents:

312.04 Extirpated Plant Species.
(a)
For the purposes of Table 312.4, “extirpated
species” means a native
plant taxon presumed to be extirpated from the state because the taxon has not
been located despite intensive searches of historical sites and other
appropriate habitat, and has virtually no likelihood it will be rediscovered.
(b)
The inventory in Table 312.4 below, listed by scientific name with
authority, and common name, shall contain all extirpated plant species:
