  • 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).

  • Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES Lakesmart Program
    Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES LakeSmart Program Only with YOUR help will New Hampshire’s lakes remain clean and healthy, now and in the future. The health of our lakes, and our enjoyment of these irreplaceable natural resources, is at risk. Polluted runoff water from the landscape is washing into our lakes, causing toxic algal blooms that make swimming in lakes unsafe. Failing septic systems and animal waste washed off the land are contributing bacteria to our lakes that can make people and pets who swim in the water sick. Toxic products used in the home, on lawns, and on roadways and driveways are also reaching our lakes, poisoning the water in some areas to the point where fish and other aquatic life cannot survive. NH LAKES has found that most property owners don’t know how their actions affect the health of lakes. We’ve also found that property owners want to do the right thing to help keep the lakes they enjoy clean and healthy and that they often need help of professional service providers like YOU! What is LakeSmart? The LakeSmart program is an education, evaluation, and recognition program that inspires property owners to live in a lake- friendly way, keeping our lakes clean and healthy. The program is free, voluntary, and non-regulatory. Through a confidential evaluation process, property owners receive tailored recommendations about how to implement lake-friendly living practices year-round in their home, on their property, and along and on the lake. Property owners have access to a directory of lake- friendly living service providers to help them adopt lake-friendly living practices.

Introduction page 1 2. Maps and Analyses 3 3. Co-occurrence Model 13 4. Conservation Opportunities 16 Acknowledgements 21 Recommendations for Further Study 22 Appendix 1: Technical Report on GIS Data Appendix 2: Open Lands and Early Successional Habitat Mapping 1. Introduction In October of 2002, The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests (SPNHF) entered into an agreement with the Mascoma Watershed Conservation Council (MWCC) to complete a natural resource inventory (NRI) for the 195 square mile Mascoma River watershed, located in west-central New Hampshire (Figure 1, Mascoma Watershed Study Area). This report details the findings from that NRI and presents recommendations for further work. The goals of the NRI were to: 1. Map and describe significant natural resources; 2. Examine land use / natural resource relationships; 3. Identify areas of high ecological value based on co-occurrence of significant features; 4. Develop strategic options for natural resources protection. MWCC, SPNHF, and the Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission (UVLSRPC) cooperated to develop a project scope which included the following mapping and analysis products: 1. Conservation Lands Basemap 2. Land Cover 3. Soils 4. Unfragmented Lands 5. Water Resources 6. Wildlife Habitat 7. Co-occurrence Model Each map displays the appropriate and “best available” data for its portion of the natural resources analysis. The maps are intended as planning tools, and are designed to present a landscape scale picture of the watershed in such a way that patterns of natural resource occurrence are clearly evident to decision makers.
