The purpose of the study was threefold: 1. Evaluate current operational service delivery. 2. Identify future service delivery needs. 3. Provide recommendations for operational service delivery. SUMMARY FINDINGS Nashua Fire Rescue is a historically proud and very traditional New England Fire Department. Operationally, the fire department meets most of the national standards for the provision of fire and rescue services. Staffing and deployment are adequate in the Emergency Services Division, however there are a number of administrative and support functions that are woefully understaffed. The staffing evaluation is included within the Staffing section of this plan. Fire department infrastructure will require significant financial investments in the coming years. While the city has done a good job maintaining and replacing the apparatus in its fleet, four of the six fire stations are more than 40-years-old. Many of these fire stations have outlived their useful life and some are no longer located in the optimal location to meet the current service demands in the City of Nashua. Consideration should be given to relocating some of these stations as they come due for renovation. GIS Models for Fire Station Optimization are included within the Long-Range Deployment Options Section of this plan. While the number of staff and fire department infrastructure are both critical components of Nashua Fire Rescue’s ability to serve the city, this plan would be doing the fire department a disservice if it didn’t identify that Nashua Fire Rescue has a very significant and deeply embedded morale problem. ESCI’s interviews and survey both revealed five common themes that stood out within Nashua Fire Rescue. These themes were: 1. Nashua Fire Rescue members are proud to be part of Nashua Fire Rescue. 2. Nashua Fire Rescue members almost unanimously agree that the people that make up the department are the department’s biggest strength. Members repeatedly cited the “manpower” and “aggressive firefighting” as specific examples of this strength. 3. Morale is a problem. Members overwhelmingly believe that communication (or a lack thereof) is the biggest contributor to the department’s poor morale. 1 Master Plan Nashua Fire Rescue, NH 4. Members very directly stated a desire for consistent accountability within Nashua Fire Rescue. They went so far as to request that chief officers hold the members accountable from the top-down while the union holds the members accountable from the bottom-up. There were repeated concerns voiced that not everyone was being held equally accountable. 5. Training was repeatedly identified as one of the biggest weaknesses within Nashua Fire Rescue. While this report includes 41 specific recommendations, the critical issues of morale, communication, accountability, and firefighter training must be addressed before Nashua Fire Rescue will be capable of working toward implementing any of the other recommendations in this report. ESCI suggests that the most effective and immediate way to address these issues is to restructure the Administrative Division to include an Assistant Chief of Uniform Professional Standards. This Assistant Chief would report to the Chief of Department and be tasked with: ▪ Investigating all internal affairs type activities, thus removing this work from the Chief and existing Assistant Chief. The single point of contact within the fire department as well as close collaboration with Human Resources

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).

  • NRPC White Paper on the Nashua-Hudson Circumferential
    NASHUA REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION CIRCUMFERENTIAL HIGHWAY “WHITE PAPER” September 17, 2003 NASHUA REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION CIRCUMFERENTIAL HIGHWAY “WHITE PAPER” September 17, 2003 INTRODUCTION The Nashua Regional Planning Commission is currently evaluating the proposed Hudson-Nashua Circumferential Highway project. Due to a number of factors, NRPC feels that it is prudent for the affected municipalities (Hudson, Litchfield, Merrimack and Nashua) and the general public to take a step back and reassess to this project. 1) The project has been moved out of the first ten years of the State’s Ten Year Transportation Improvement Plan (“Ten Year Plan”) due to state transportation funding constraints. 2) The most expensive part of the project is the portion that connects Route 3/DW Highway in Merrimack with the Everett Turnpike (which is within the Pennichuck Watershed). 3) Political support for the project is unclear. 4) The permitting process has been long and ongoing, and is not resulting in closure on this controversial project. 5) The project as proposed is likely to hit stiff opposition from environmental groups and from communities within the Pennichuck Brook Watershed, as a portion of the highway will be built within that watershed. 6) Central Hudson and downtown Nashua continue to experience significant traffic congestion, and a viable relief is needed. 7) There have been major changes to the region’s transportation plans since the project was originally conceived. 8) The NHDOT has acquired right-of-way for the partial build, and Hudson, Litchfield and Merrimack have included the alignment in their master plans. Development proposals are required to accommodate the right-of-way.

Boston College The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences A HINDCAST COMPARING THE RESPONSE OF THE SOUHEGAN RIVER TO DAM REMOVAL WITH THE SIMULATIONS OF THE DAM REMOVAL EXPRESS ASSESSMENT MODEL-1 a thesis by MARICATE CONLON Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Science © copyright by Maricate Conlon 2013 Abstract A hindcast comparing the response of the Souhegan River to dam removal with the simulations of the Dam Removal Express Assessment Model-1 Maricate Conlon Advisor: Noah P. Snyder Dam removal is a widely used river restoration technique. Historically, dams produced hydropower, controlled flooding, and provided water storage, but currently many dams in the United States, specifically low head dams in New England, are obsolete. This study aims to assess the ability of a simple morphodynamic sediment transport model, Dam Removal Express Assessment Model (DREAM-1), developed by Cui et al. (2006a). I compare simulations to a dam removal monitoring project that quantified the physical response of the Souhegan River to the removal of the Merrimack Village Dam (MVD), Merrimack, NH. Pearson et al. (2011) reported results of field monitoring from August 2007-May 2010 and found that the Souhegan River responded to dam removal in two phases: initial rapid incision of impoundment sediment induced by immediate base level drop of 3.9 m (~50% of impounded sediment eroded in ~2 months), followed by an event-driven phase in which impoundment sediment eroded primarily during floods.

  • 2013 Master Plan Update, Merrimack NH
    Merrimack, NH | 2013 Master Plan Update 9. Transportation 9.1 Introduction The Master Plan Update 2002 identified several critical areas of concern relative to existing congestion, transportation deficiencies, and the lack of connectivity within the Town. In addi- tion, the need to create a long-term transportation plan that accommodates mobility within the community for its residents, businesses and visitors and promotes development consis- tent with the Town’s vision was also identified. Key recommended actions from the 2002 report are summarized below with an update on the progress completed to date. Continue to work with the state and regional officials toward implementation of the Manchester Airport Access Road (MAAR) to improve access to the Manchester Airport for Merrimack residents and businesses while also improving access to northern Merrimack’s commercial and industrial areas to the F.E. Everett Turnpike. The MAAR, now formally named Raymond Wieczorek Drive, was completed and opened for public travel in the fall of 2011. The new interchange provides full north and south access between the F.E. Everett Turnpike and US Route 3 in Bedford, just north of the Merrimack town line. This interchange partially filled a gap in the regional transportation system for northern Merrimack residents and businesses where the existing F.E. Everett Turnpike Exit 12 configuration only provides ramps to/from the south. Previously motorists in the northern portion of the Town wishing to travel to/from the Turnpike north would have to travel via US Route 3 to the I-293/NH Route 101 interchange in Bedford to complete this trip or travel south to the Exit 11 interchange.

Discussion Items City of Nashua Water Supply Discussion with Pennichuck Representatives Chairman Porter opened the discussion by summarizing some background on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in the news over the past couple of years. He then gave the floor to the representatives from Pennichuck. The Pennichuck water supply system has two sources: the Pennichuck Brook and ponds system, and the Merrimack River. The Merrimack River intake was installed in the mid-1980s and was originally connected to feed into the ponds system. About three years ago, an additional interconnection main from the Merrimack River intake was installed which feeds directly into the treatment plant.

  • NEFMC EFH Desigations
    NEFMC EFH Desigations developed as part of Omnibus Essential Fish Habitat Amendment 2 Amendment 14 to the Northeast Multispecies FMP Amendment 14 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop FMP Amendment 4 to the Monkfish FMP Amendment 3 to the Atlantic Herring FMP Amendment 2 to the Red Crab FMP Amendment 2 to the Skate FMP Amendment 3 to the Atlantic Salmon FMP New England Fishery Management Council 50 Water Street, Mill 2 Newburyport, MA 01950 (978) 465-0492 tel. Essential Fish Habitat or EFH is define as those waters necessary for spawning, breeding, feeding, and growth to maturity. Regional Fishery Management Councils are required to desginate EFH per the 1996 reauthorization of the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Regulatory guidance about EFH designations and EFH consultations was published in 2002 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service (Federal Register, Vol. 67, No. 12, p 2343-2383). This guidance recommends description and identification of EFH by species and lifestage, based on the best available sources of information. Per the guidance, both text descriptions of essential habitats as well as spatial depictions of the extent of EFH should be developed. The New England Fishery Management Council developed its current EFH designations via Omnibus Habitat Amendment 2 (OHA2). OHA2 represented the first update to the NEFMC’s original EFH designations, developed in 1999 or shortly thereafter. Development of OHA2 began in 2004, and the final regulations were implemented on April 9, 2018. The EFH designations were the primary focus of the first phase of work on the amendment, from 2004- 2007, but adjustments to the desginations were made throughout the process, up until final Council action in April and June of 2016.
