Young 1911 - 1969 Scribner Memorial Selectmen's Letter 1969 Dear Citizens of Ashland: The year 1969 has brought many improvements to our Town of Ashland and it is our pleasure here to bring them to your attention. Perhaps the most significant is the com- pletion of the sewage system and the establishment of the Sanitary Department. At the present time there are 263 participants, including the woolen mill. Meters have been installed by the Water Department for each of these users to distribute the cost equitably amongst them in order to pay for the operation of the Sanitary Department. The Ashland Electric Department has experienced another growth year both in income and in usage. To keep up with the increasing demand for electricity, the Depart- ment found it necessary to run new lines from the Holderness town line over Thompson St. to the existing sub-station which is in the process of being rebuilt to accommodate its present and future customers. The new transformers have been pur- chased and delivered and will be in full use by Spring. In keeping with the growth pattern the Electric Department has also required another full time employee.

    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).

  • New Hampshire Fish Consumption Guidelines
    ARD-EHP-25 2020 New Hampshire Fish Consumption Guidelines Fish and shellfish are an important part of a healthy diet. They are a good source of low fat protein and contain nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, a key nutrient for brain development. NHDES offers these fish consumption guidelines to educate the public regarding certain contaminants that have been analyzed in fish tissues. There are other contaminants that may be present in the environment that have not been analyzed, nor are they included in this advisory. Mercury analysis has been completed for a variety of the most common freshwater fish species, however not all species or waterbodies have been analyzed for mercury and the other contaminants listed in the advisory (fish sampled to date include 26 species, >230 waterbodies, ~4,000 fish). Mercury does not break down in the environment. Nearly all fish and shellfish have traces of mercury, and fish from some freshwater sources may also contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or dioxin. Small amounts of mercury can damage a brain starting to form or grow. That is why babies and young children are at most risk. PCBs and dioxins are man-made organic chemicals which do not readily break down in the environment. They are taken up and may accumulate in fish. PCBs and dioxins have been shown to cause a variety of harmful health effects such as cancer as well as non-cancer health effects involving immune, reproductive, nervous and endocrine systems. Risks from mercury, PCBs and dioxin in fish and shellfish depend on the amount of fish and shellfish eaten and the levels of these contaminants in the fish and shellfish.

  • Re: Request for Approval of Amendments to New Hampshire Surface Water Quality Standards
    The State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Robert R. Scott Commissioner December 13, 2019 Dennis Deziel, Regional Administrator EPA New England, Region 1 5 Post Office Square - Suite 100 Boston, MA 02109-3912 Re: Request for approval of amendments to New Hampshire Surface Water Quality Standards Dear Mr. Deziel: On January 20, 2018, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) made a 1 request to EPA to approve adopted amendments to the state's surface water quality standards • One of those amendments, regarding the dissolved oxygen (DO) saturation standard, was precipitated by a change in state law. Senate Bill (SB)127, effective September 8, 2017, amended State statutes (RSA 485-A:2, A:6 and A:8) regarding dissolved oxygen standards. NHDES submitted a request to EPA to add this amended statute to our approved state surface water quality standards per the requirements of 40 CFR § 131.6 and § 131.20(c ). This letter is to withdraw that request. Since submitting our request, NHDES and EPA Region 1 have been in detailed communication. A request for more information was sent by EPA to the state on July 3, 2019. NHDES responded to this letter on October 23, 2019, to which EPA replied on November 7, 2019. At the same time, NHDES has been in close communication with stakeholders and legislators regarding this issue. What is clear from all of these communications is that the issue of changing the DO saturation standard is much more complicated than originally thought. To this end, NHDES is working with the legislature to add more flexibility to the state's ability to set surface water quality standards for dissolved oxygen.

  • Chapter 5: Recreation
    CHAPTER 5: RECREATION Photo Compliments of: Leigh Sharps, Little Squam Lake, Ashland, NH Ashland Master Plan Chapter 5 5.1 INTRODUCTION The town of Ashland offers a range of recreational opportunities to year-round and seasonal residents. With Ashland’s excellent parks, its immediate access to Squam Lake and a number of wooded areas, the Town is a unique and highly desirable place in which to live. The Town has been generally supportive of funding proposals for recreational activities that have come up for Town Meeting votes. Land and Water Conservation Funds and donations have been used to set up a number of recreation facilities and programs in the past. 5.2 PARKS AND RECREATION 5.2.1 Staff The Town appoints a Park and Recreation Director who makes policy level decisions to manage the programming, the part-time and seasonal personnel, the town beach and campground, L.W. Packard Field, and the Booster building. Seasonal employees which may include lifeguards, swim instructors, camp counselors in the summer, and a Program Assistant to manage the After School Program during the academic year. An advisory board was established for the Parks and Recreation Department consisting of five community volunteers to assist the Director in developing programs and with fundraising efforts. Scheduled to meet monthly, the committee has not actively met since 2008. Community members are encouraged to participate and get this committee reactivated. Currently in its place, the Ashland Area Recreation Association formed in 2009 primarily to raise funds and install lights in the playing fields. It has been instrumental in continuing fundraising efforts for other projects and assisting with the upkeep and maintenance of the fields and beach.
