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).

  • Franklin County NRCD Natural Resources Assessment
    Franklin County NRCD Natural Resources Assessment Written by Jeannie Bartlett, District Manager Submitted March 15, 2017 Summary Every year each District in Vermont submits a Natural Resources Assessment to the Natural Resources Conservation Council. This report describes the natural features and resources of the District, how they have changed over time, and their current status. This year the District Manager has significantly updated and expanded the Franklin District’s Natural Resources Assessment. This Assessment includes information from the Tactical Basin Plans for the three major watersheds in Franklin County. Further research and interpersonal knowledge of the District will lead to updates and improvements in the coming years. This Assessment begins by laying out the legal and organizational definitions and context for the Franklin County NRCD. We then give the basic geospatial definition of the District, and a basic outline of the watersheds included. A couple of maps help illustrate the watersheds in the District. The next section tells the early history of the landbase, from the most recent glaciation up to European arrival. Future Assessments may add content covering European settlement and industrialization up through the present, as the history of land use provides important context for our use of it today. Next we give an assessment of the District’s natural resources in a few categories: soil, water, air, animals, wetlands, and hydrology. The next major section summarizes priority actions to improve the state of our natural resources identified through the 2015 Local Working Group and the District’s relevant Tactical Basin Plans. Finally, we give a brief overview of the District’s current projects and programs Mission The mission of the Franklin County NRCD is to assist farmers, landowners, and the community of Franklin County, VT with resource conservation projects and public education.

  • Vermont Master Angler Program
    Vermont Master 2014 Annual Angler Program Report The Vermont Master Angler Program Vermont’s wealth of waters and abundant fish populations provide many opportunities to experience outstanding fishing. The Vermont Master Angler Program recognizes the achievements of anglers who catch trophy‐sized fish from Vermont waters and celebrates the fishes’ accomplishments in surviving and growing to such exceptional sizes. The Master Angler program is a length‐based program that sets “trophy sized” benchmarks for 33 eligible fish species. While these trophy sized fish are a challenge to catch, they are attainable for anglers that develop the necessary knowledge and skills. The Master Angler program encourages anglers to target species that haven’t traditionally been considered sport fish. To do so, they need to grow as anglers and improve their knowledge of fish habitat, behavior, and feeding preferences and develop new skills required to target and catch these species. THE VERMONT MASTER ANGLER PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS THE DIVERSITY OF FISH SPECIES IN VERMONT WATERS THAT OFFER UNIQUE AND CHALLENGING ANGLING OPPORTUNITIES. Award Categories The program offers two award categories for adults and youths: Trophy Angler: Anglers catching a fish exceeding the minimum qualifying length in any of the 33 species categories receive a certificate commemorating their catch. Their names and catches are also included in the Vermont Master Angler Annual Report, posted annually on the Vermont Fish & Wildlife website. Master Angler: Anglers demonstrating the skill necessary to catch multiple species that all exceed the minimum qualifying lengths, in the same calendar year, are recognized as “Vermont Master Anglers” and receive a lapel pin at the end of the year.
