DES Commissioner Tom Burack

By Laura Knoy on Friday, January 12, 2007.

When former DES Commissioner Mike Nolin's term expired, he was replaced by Hopkinton lawyer Tom Burack, who came in at a time when many were displeased with how the Department of Environmental Services was being run. Burack has long been involved in the environment in New Hampshire, having chaired the LCHIP program and sat on various task forces and steering committees. We'll sit down with him and see how he's settled in in the few short months he's had in office and see what his goals and priorities for the new year and the new job are.

Re the comment about wood burning furnaces.

There is a much more environmentally friendly alternative, the wood pellet furnace. The cost is about $4000 installed and is tied in to regular hot air system. It is thermostatically controlled and a filling of pellets lasts about 2 days.
