Emergency Response

The Spill Response and Complaint Investigations Section is called out to aid in many hazardous materials and/or waste emergencies in the State of New Hampshire.  Examples of these emergencies include: leaking drums containing hazardous waste, hazardous waste transport accidents/spills, chemical release to the ground, and technical assistance to federal, state and local agencies.

If you have a hazardous material/waste spill emergency, call your local Fire Department first!  Then call NH DES if spill occurs during business hours.  If spill occurs after business hours, call the NH State Police, who will contact NH DES for you.

To report a hazardous/solid waste issue or a hazardous material/waste spill during business hours:
Monday – Friday 8am to 4pm
Phone # (603) 271-3899

To report hazardous material/waste emergencies on evenings and weekends:
