  • 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).

  • Purpose and Need Environmental Assessment Improvements to I-293 (FE Everett Turnpike), Exit 6 & 7 (Manchester 16099)
    Purpose and Need Environmental Assessment Improvements to I-293 (FE Everett Turnpike), Exit 6 & 7 (Manchester 16099) The draft Purpose and Need outlined here is intended to describe and support the Environmental Assessment which is being developed pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Purpose and Need helps to establish the basis for the development of alternatives, and is used to compare the effectiveness and the impacts of the Proposed Action against the No Action Alternative. The Purpose and Need statement is fundamental to the analysis of a project under NEPA, the Clean Water Act (Section 404), and other environmental regulations. Purpose The purpose of this project is to address capacity, safety, and access related deficiencies along a 3.5-mile portion of Interstate 293 (FE Everett Turnpike) in Manchester, New Hampshire, beginning north of Exit 5 (Granite Street) and ending north of Exit 7 (Front Street) by: • Correcting geometric and safety deficiencies while reducing congestion at problem locations within the Study Area; • Accommodating future traffic growth related to commuter trips and the transportation of commercial goods and services through the corridor; and • Improving access to the highway consistent with the long-term vision of the communities of Manchester and Goffstown. Need Interstate 293 (FE Everett Turnpike) is a north-south toll highway in central-southern New Hampshire which serves as a major transportation corridor linking the state capitol of Concord to the residential, industrial, and commercial centers in Manchester, Nashua, and north-central Massachusetts. Interstate 293 connects other regional highways including I-93, US 3, and NH 101 and serves as a major route for commuters and commercial activity.

  • 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.
