    TOWN HEBRON New Hampshire for the Fiscal Year

    ANNUAL REPORT For The TOWN of HEBRON New Hampshire For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2014 Dedication Phil and Betsy Twombly The Hebron Select Board would like to dedicate the 2014 Town Report to Phil and Betsy Twombly for their valuable contributions to the town and to the Newfound area. Phil and Betsy moved to Hebron full-time in 1990 into a beautiful home on Hobart Hill Road designed by their son Peter. But their presence goes a long way back! Betsy became a summer resident as a very young child when her parents built a log cabin on Owlshead on West Shore Road in the early 1930’s. After their marriage, Phil and Betsy raised their five children, summering at Owlshead and spending winter weekends skiing at Tenney Mountain. They now share that summer tradition with grandchildren and great grandchildren. As soon as they retired to Hebron, Betsy began Muddy Paws Pottery with her passion for ceramics. Phil joined the Planning Board and Betsy joined the Historic District Commission. They are active members of the Newfound Lake Region Association, the Hebron Audubon, and founders of the Naturally Newfound Fair. Phil and Betsy are also ardent volunteers, and you’ll find them pitching in everywhere. They take joy from everyone around them and return that energy tenfold. Their motto is: “Never stop moving,” and they live up to that every day.

    Official List of Public Waters

    Official List of Public Waters New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Water Division Dam Bureau 29 Hazen Drive PO Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095 (603) 271-3406 https://www.des.nh.gov NH Official List of Public Waters Revision Date October 9, 2020 Robert R. Scott, Commissioner Thomas E. O’Donovan, Division Director OFFICIAL LIST OF PUBLIC WATERS Published Pursuant to RSA 271:20 II (effective June 26, 1990) IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use this list for determining water bodies that are subject to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA). The CSPA list is available on the NHDES website. Public waters in New Hampshire are prescribed by common law as great ponds (natural waterbodies of 10 acres or more in size), public rivers and streams, and tidal waters. These common law public waters are held by the State in trust for the people of New Hampshire. The State holds the land underlying great ponds and tidal waters (including tidal rivers) in trust for the people of New Hampshire. Generally, but with some exceptions, private property owners hold title to the land underlying freshwater rivers and streams, and the State has an easement over this land for public purposes. Several New Hampshire statutes further define public waters as including artificial impoundments 10 acres or more in size, solely for the purpose of applying specific statutes. Most artificial impoundments were created by the construction of a dam, but some were created by actions such as dredging or as a result of urbanization (usually due to the effect of road crossings obstructing flow and increased runoff from the surrounding area).

    Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES Lakesmart Program

    Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES LakeSmart Program Only with YOUR help will New Hampshire’s lakes remain clean and healthy, now and in the future. The health of our lakes, and our enjoyment of these irreplaceable natural resources, is at risk. Polluted runoff water from the landscape is washing into our lakes, causing toxic algal blooms that make swimming in lakes unsafe. Failing septic systems and animal waste washed off the land are contributing bacteria to our lakes that can make people and pets who swim in the water sick. Toxic products used in the home, on lawns, and on roadways and driveways are also reaching our lakes, poisoning the water in some areas to the point where fish and other aquatic life cannot survive. NH LAKES has found that most property owners don’t know how their actions affect the health of lakes. We’ve also found that property owners want to do the right thing to help keep the lakes they enjoy clean and healthy and that they often need help of professional service providers like YOU! What is LakeSmart? The LakeSmart program is an education, evaluation, and recognition program that inspires property owners to live in a lake- friendly way, keeping our lakes clean and healthy. The program is free, voluntary, and non-regulatory. Through a confidential evaluation process, property owners receive tailored recommendations about how to implement lake-friendly living practices year-round in their home, on their property, and along and on the lake. Property owners have access to a directory of lake- friendly living service providers to help them adopt lake-friendly living practices.
