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).

    State Announces Fall Lake Drawdown

Because hydrologic conditions and recreational uses of the water bodies vary, the degree and date of the drawdowns are different for some of those lakes and ponds. The drawdown for Suncook Lakes in Barnstead is Oct. 1, and for Lake Opechee in Laconia, on Oct. 13. Drawdowns scheduled for Oct. 15 include Barnstead Parade in Barnstead, Crystal Lake and Shellcamp Pond in Gilmanton, Newfound Lake in Bristol, Squam Lake in Ashland, Sunset Lake in Alton, Webster Lake in Franklin, and Lake Winnisquam in Belmont. Lake Kanasatska in Moultonborough will be drawn down on Nov. 1. Lake drawdowns are intended to reduce winter ice damage to shoreline properties and to reduce spring flooding. The drawdowns also give property owners an opportunity to make necessary repairs to their waterfront property, as long as they obtain the appropriate permits from the Wetlands Bureau. The drawdowns of Lake Opechee and Lake Winnisquam occur on two-year intervals and last only a few weeks. This year, the lowering of Lake Opechee will begin on Oct. 13 and will likely take two days to pass the water downstream through Lake Winnisquam. The level of Winnisquam will not drop noticeably until Oct. 15. On Oct. 29, the flows at the Lakeport Dam will be increased to refill Lake Opechee, and the level of Lake Winnisquam should begin to rise late in the day on Oct.

    A GUIDE to the BIRDS of the SQUAM LAKES REGION, NEW Hampshire I

    A GUIDE TO THE BIRDS OF THE SQUAM LAKES REGION, NEW HAMPSHIRe I by Beverly S. Ridgely INTRODUCTION by Tudor Richards History. There have been such extraordinary changes over the years in the bird life of the Squam Lakes Region (as in the rest of central New Hampshire) that some of these should be touched upon. Two centuries ago the region was still largely wilderness, with birds of deep forests predominant. In the following decades, however, the creation of much open land at the expense of the virgin forest caused a great de­ crease in the number of forest birds and an increase in those liking fields and pastures. This trend has now been largely reversed with the decline of agriculture starting over a century ago. On the other hand, rather than reverting to well-developed forests, much of the abandoned farmland has come up to brushy areas, thin wood­ lands or unnaturally pure and extensive stands of white pine, many of which have been timbered on becoming merchantable, with certain birds benefiting from each of these mostly tem­ porary types of habitat and others not. Then there have been wholly disastrous developments such as market and feather hunting and the introduction of the House Sparrow and European Starling during the last century, and, more recently, the extensive use of pesticides. Furthermore, the proliferation of garbage everywhere has been a bonanza for gulls and "blackbirds," and the latter have also benefited from the availability of vast amounts of grain in certain sections of the country. As a result, species of birds oreyed upon by gulls or parasitized by the Brown-headed Cowbirds have suffered greatly.
