Re: Wetlands
I do not know the laws of Carroll County or New Hampshire. However, it is generally illegal to fill wetlands without the applicable state or federal permits. Illegally filling wetlands is generally regarded as a serious offense. If your neighbor is filling wetlands without the proper permits, your best recourse would be to report this to the state enviromental agency.
