Statutory Basis This Comprehensive Plan was developed pursuant to the statutory requirements of the Comprehensive Planning and Land Use Regulation Act of 1988 (Title 30, Section 4961, of to Maine Revised Statutes). Authorization and Appropriation The preparation of this Comprehensive Plan was authorized by the Selectmen of the Town of Fayette in 1989, with revisions authorized by the Selectmen and voted at a Town Meeting in 1997. Funding The preparation of this Comprehensive Plan was funded with $ 12,000 by the voters of Fayette and a grant of $ 12,340 from the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development, Office of Comprehensive Planning. The revisions were funded with $ 3,200 by the voters of Fayette in 1997. Purpose The purpose of this Comprehensive Plan is to provide the factual basis and policy framework for future planning, regulatory, and community development decision making, in both the public and private sectors. Scope This Comprehensive Plan examines the available information regarding the following components of Fayette's land, government, and people in the following Inventory and Analysis Sections: 1. Population 7. Water Resources 2. Economy 8. Critical Natural Resources 3. Housing 9. Agriculture and Forest Resources 4. Transportation 10. Historic & Archaeological Resources 5. Public Facilities and Services 11. Existing Land Use 6. Recreation 12. Fiscal Capacity In addition, this Comprehensive Plan contains within it the following sub-plans; 1. An official Land Use Map; 2. A Capital Investment Plan; 3. A Regional Coordination Plan; and 4. Information Strategies implementing identified Growth Management Policies. Included as Appendix A of this plan is a summation of the findings of the Growth Management Survey. Section 1: Introduction 2 Town of Fayette Comprehensive Plan Opinion Survey conducted in 1991. Approach The Information regarding each of the above components was analyzed and synthesized, and is presented according to the following format: 1. A discussion of existing conditions or existing situations; 2. A discussion of inherent planning implications and 3. Recommended policies and proposed actions considered necessary and or desirable to implement these policies. Limitations This Comprehensive Plan has been assembled and compiled with the genuine intention that all of the data and information contained herein is reasonably accurate and correct. The information contained in this plan was gathered from the sources cited. Some of the sources were found to be more detailed and more recent than others. Where appropriate, future application of the information contained in this Plan should be preceded by a check of the sources to see if additional or revised information is available. Most of the information contained in this Plan is considered current enough and of sufficient detail to support the conclusions and recommendations offered. Note that while this information is suitable for general planning, it may not be appropriate for site specific decisions. This plan was written to be as fair and accurate as possible and to be a best representation of the feelings of the townspeople at the time it was written. The Committee and Consultants are not responsible for misunderstandings and misinterpretations conveyed in this document. Section 1: Introduction 3 Town of Fayette Comprehensive Plan Section 1: Introduction 4 Town of Fayette Comprehensive Plan INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS POPULATION Introduction The purpose of this section is: a. to Profile the town's and region's population in terms of population and household characteristics most significant in describing the Town's character and in influencing future demands for housing, land, and community facilities and services; b. to identify and understand important changes in the characteristics of figure populations; c. to learn and understand how the town's population characteristics and changes in population relate to those for the region; and; d. to identify and understand the size and characteristics of the town's and the region's population ten years into the future. Due to inaccuracies and differences between various data sources used in the preparation of this section, the figures in the following tables do not always appear to be consistent. These figures are, however, acceptable to recognize general trends as a basis to guide Fayette's future growth and development. Perhaps the most fundamental factor of this Comprehensive Plan is the Town of Fayette's population and how that population will change in the future. The ultimate goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to assure that within environmental limits, future population is appropriately accommodated. Accordingly, most phases of the Plan are either dependent upon or strongly influenced by the size and composition of the town's future population. Population Summary Figure II.A.1 summarizes selected population characteristics for the 1980 and 1990 year round population

  • 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).

Providing public access to these bodies of water is extremely impor- tant to us because we want both residents and visitors alike to enjoy them to the fullest. The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife works diligently to provide access to Maine’s waters, whether it’s a remote mountain pond, or Maine’s Casco Bay. How you conduct yourself on Maine’s waters will go a long way in de- termining whether new access points can be obtained since only a fraction of our waters have dedicated public access.

  • 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.

  • Celebrate Clean Water
    Vol. 7, No. 2 Provided free of charge to our monitors and affiliates Fall 2002 Celebrate Clean Water On October 18, 2002, the nation will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the enactment of the Clean Water Act. To commemorate the anniversary, the day has been declared National Water Monitoring Day. In celebration, volunteers throughout the country will collect and submit water quality data to the National Water Monitoring Day database. This is a great opportu- nity to show the country what lake stewardship means to Mainers! We hope all our volunteer monitors (who haven’t migrated to warmer climates) will participate on October 18th. Since the weather doesn’t always coop- erate, all data collected between October 12th and October 27th will be submitted. If you would like to join in the celebration and monitor your lake or pond, contact us prior to October 18th to ensure that your site is regis- tered for the event. The deadline for submitting data is October 27th, so please relay your results to us before then.
