PUBLIC COMMENT SOUGHT ON PROPOSED ORFORD BOAT ACCESS PROJECT 

CONCORD, N.H. -- The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department seeks 
public comment regarding a proposed public boat access project in Orford at 
an open house set for Tuesday, February 8, 2005, from 3:00-4:30 p.m. 

and again from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the Rivendell School in Orford, N.H. The 
proposed project, involving the State of New Hampshire and the Town of 
Orford, would improve the functionality of the existing town-owned boat 
access facility on the Connecticut River for boaters and anglers.

The "Open House" session is not a formal sit-down hearing. Concerned 
citizens are encouraged to attend at any time during the specified hours 
to hear about the proposal, review the conceptual plan, ask questions 
and provide comments. 

The N.H. Fish and Game Department also will accept written comments and 
suggestions relative to this project, if postmarked by February 23, 
2005; email to chenderson@wildlife.state.nh.us, or mail comments to:
