Let's take the easy ones first:
Mandatory Sewer treatment- Expensive but feasible. NH government could craft a law that forced this to happen. Will be problem for islands. I'm sure underwater sewage lines are technically possible but very expensive.
Regulation of powerboat size- feasible, NH government could craft a law that limited size. They could even make exceptions for the tour boats. It sure would be unpopular.
Regulation of powerboat numbers- How could this be implemented? I'm sure the government could come up with lake access stickers and police their use, but how do you decide who gets them? Lottery? Auction? Heredity? Lakefront land ownership? NH Residence?
Moratorium- This one is of course the toughest. Who and by what authority could implement and enforce this? Would each town change there building codes or zoning laws? Would NH DES declare that the lake was so overburdened that not one more house could be built, and refuse to issue permits? I think this one is politically impossible.
