Stratigraphic and Structural Traverse of Mount Moriah, New Hampshire
B2-1 STRATIGRAPHIC AND STRUCTURAL TRAVERSE OF MOUNT MORIAH, NEW HAMPSHIRE. by Timothy T. Allen, Geology Department, Keene State College, Keene, NH 03435-2001 ([email protected]) INTRODUCTION East of Pinkham Notch and south of the Androscoggin River valley lies a large roadless area of the White Mountain National Forest containing the Carter–Moriah mountain range and the Wild River valley (Fig 1). Original mapping in this and adjacent areas was done by M. P. Billings and others in the 1940’s and 1950’s (1941, 1946, 1975, 1979), and Billings’ work lays the foundation upon which all subsequent work in this area is based. Since the time of Billings’ maps, however, further developments have been made in understanding the litho-stratigraphy of Siluro-Devonian metasedimentary rocks throughout New Hampshire and western Maine (Osberg et al., 1985; Moench & Pankiwskyj, 1988; Lyons et al., 1991). Attempts to apply the new lithostratigraphy to this region met with limited success, particularly in the migmatites that make up the Carter–Moriah and Wild River area (CM–WR; Hatch et al., 1983; Hatch & Moench, 1984; Hatch & Wall, 1986). The CM–WR area is shown on current maps as “undifferentiated sedimentary rocks in areas of extreme migmatization” (Osberg et al., 1985; Lyons et al., 1991). The rocks are indeed migmatized, although in general the line bounding these “undifferentiated” rocks does not necessarily represent a “migmatite front” but rather the limits of easily mappable terrain (Hatch & Wall, 1986, page 146). Locally, however, sharp “migmatite fronts” can be clearly defined, separating un-migmatized schists from intensely migmatized gneisses of the same parent lithology.

Harold E. Langley Bridge Engineer, New Hampshire Highway Department
Harold E. Langley Bridge Engineer, New Hampshire Highway Department Designer – 1922 to 1934 Assistant Bridge Engineer – 1935 to 1941 Bridge Engineer - 1942 to 1961 Annotated Bibliography of Published Works List of Attributed Bridge Plans Prepared for New Hampshire Department of Transportation, Bureau of Environment Concord, NH By Richard M. Casella Historic Documentation Company, Inc. Portsmouth RI July 2012 Summary This project was undertaken to fulfill, in part, the project mitigation requirements stipulated in the Memorandum of Agreement pertaining to the removal and replacement of the Redington Street or Apthorp Bridge over the Ammonoosuc River in Littleton, New Hampshire, a National Register eligible historic resource. Harold Edward Langley was born in January 8, 1896 in Durham, New Hampshire and died August 6, 1991, in Concord.1 He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating in 1917. His WWI draft registration card, dated June 2, 1917, states his present trade as a farmer, in the employ of his father Edward Langley. He apparently did not serve in WWI. In 1919 he began his career with the New Hampshire Highway Department as a resident engineer. He was promoted and served the Department as a Designer from 1922 to 1934, as Assistant Bridge Engineer from 1935 to 1941, and as Bridge Engineer from 1942 to 1961. Langley designed at least 368 bridges and structures for the Department during his tenure, as listed in the following table, not counting design drawings that do not bear his initials or no longer exist. As would be expected of his early designs during the 1920s, the majority are for relatively simple short-span bridges including concrete slab bridges, I-beam stringer bridges with flat concrete decks as well as so-called jack arch bridges with multi-arched concrete decks, and concrete T-beam bridges.

Department of the Army Programmatic General Permit State of New Hampshire
General Permit No: NAE-R-2012-00339 Effective Date: August 3, 2012 Applicant: General Public in New Hampshire Expiration Date: August 3, 2017 Department of the Army Programmatic General Permit State of New Hampshire The New England District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) hereby issues this Programmatic General Permit (PGP) that expedites review of minimal impact work in coastal and inland waters and wetlands within the State of New Hampshire. This New Hampshire PGP minimizes duplication between New Hampshire’s Regulatory Program governing work within coastal and inland waters and wetlands and the Corps Regulatory program. Subject to certain exclusions and conditions, the PGP eliminates the need to apply for separate approval from the Corps for most minor, non-controversial work in New Hampshire when that work is authorized by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) Wetlands Bureau. The Corps will review projects according to the State of New Hampshire classification of Minimum, Minor and Major impact projects per the State of New Hampshire Wetland Rules Env-Wt 100 - 900. The Corps review thresholds (see Appendix A) are typically the same as the State’s thresholds, but may differ. For example, the wetland fill thresholds for a Minimum are <3,000 square feet (SF) (State and Corps), Minor [≥3,000 to <20,000 SF (State and Corps)] and Major [≥20,000 SF (State); ≥20,000 SF to <3 acres (Corps)]. I. GENERAL CRITERIA: Activities with minimal impacts, as specified by this PGP’s terms (Pages 1 – 7), general conditions (Pages 8 – 17), and Appendix A - Definition of Categories, qualify for authorization under this PGP as either a Minimum Impact Project, or Minor or Major Impact Project.

The draft regulatory text was originally provided to the Council staff by email on January 23, 2017. We revised the draft regulations in collaboration with your staff, and the enclosure reflects the agreed upon revisions. Our revisions are limited to those regulations implementing the Omnibus Habitat Amendment. I am not commenting on portions of §648.81 (NE multispecies year-round and seasonal closed areas) that are unaffected by the amendment. I have concluded that the proposed regulatory text implementing the amendment measures is consistent with Council intent. Please feel free to call me with any concerns. Sincerely, qJ-rrjl~-, John F.
