  • The Lotic Volunteer Temperature, Electrical Conductivity, and Stage Sensing Network
    NOVEMBER 2012, NO 1 The Lotic Volunteer Temperature, Electrical Conductivity, and Stage Sensing Network A LoVoTECS Newsletter by Mark Green Welcome to our newsletter! This is the first in what will become quarterly updates about the happen- ings in our Lotic Volunteer Temperature, Elec- trical Conductivity, and Stage Sensing network (LoVoTECS). We will use this forum to update our partners on activities within the network and provide statewide syntheses of the the data you are collecting. But first, a little bit about who we are. LoVoTECS is funded by the National Sci- ence Foundation through a cooperative agreement to the New Hampshire Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) pro- gram. The network is being coordinated by a group of researchers, staff, and students at Plymouth State University – and implemented by our broad group of partners, including educa- tors, researchers, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and citizen scientists. Our goal is to improve our understanding of New Hampshire’s water resources and help develop a technically advanced workforce by providing educational opportunities to in- teract with large data sets. We will accomplish this by building a state-of-the-art, broad scale and high-frequency hydrologic sensing network using simple sensors operated by a diverse group of partners. We are grateful for your collaboration and are excited to improve hydrologic knowledge and scientific training in New Hampshire. Mark is an Assistant Professor of Hydrology at Plymouth State University’s Center for the Environment.

  • 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).

  • Stream Crossings Like Habitat Connectivity, Streams Require Continuity to Support the Movement of Aquatic Organisms
    MANAGING STATE LANDS FOR WILDLIFE Stream Crossings Like habitat connectivity, streams require continuity to support the movement of aquatic organisms. Many species need different habitats for feeding, breeding, and shelter. The ability to move up or down stream is required for the natural dispersal of individuals. Disruption of stream continuity can result in the loss and degradation of habitat, block wildlife movement, and disrupt the ecological processes that occur in streams over time. Intersections of streams and roads—or stream crossings—have been historically designed to pass water under a road without consideration of stream continuity. Flow variability, natural sediment transport, and aquatic organism passage are overlooked. Characteristic problems of culverts include undersized, shallow, or perched crossings resulting in low or high flow, unnatural bed materials, scouring, erosion, clogging, and ponding. Bridges generally have a lesser impact on streams but, if improperly designed, can still result in sediment deposition and/or streambed degradation. Good stream crossing for wildlife are also good for people. Proper design and placement reduce erosion and damage to roads, infrastructure, and personal property.

Click here for New Hampshire’s Stream Crossing Guidelines and related resources from New Hampshire’s Department of Environmental Services. Mascoma WMA (Canaan) This property contained a 15 foot culvert used to cross the 60-80 foot wide Mascoma River that bisects the property. The culvert was installed by the former landowner. The constriction caused by the culvert led to significant riverbank erosion both up and downstream, forced the river to change course, and deterred fish passage.
