Scott Commissioner Clark Freise Assistant Commissioner Eugene Forbes, P.E. Water Division Director Tracie Sales Rivers and Lakes Programs Manager https://www.des.nh.gov/ Warner River Corridor Management Plan 2020 Acknowledgments The Warner River Local Advisory Committee (WRLAC) prepared this Warner River Corridor Management Plan with assistance from the Central New Hampshire Regional Planning Commission and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) Rivers Management and Protection Program (RMMP). The draft of this Plan was completed in March 2020. Members of the Warner River Local Advisory Committee are: • Bradford: Bruce Edwards, Scott MacLean. • Hopkinton: Dave White, Mike Norris, Linden Rayton. • Sutton: Bob Wright, Pete Savickas, Andy Jeffrey. • Warner: Laura Russell, Chris Spannweitz, Ken Milender. • Webster: Susan Roman, Dan Moran. Special acknowledgements are extended to the Warner River Management Corridor Plan Subcommittee: • Laura Russell, Warner. • Chris Spannweitz, Warner. • Bruce Edwards, Bradford. • Andy Jeffrey, Sutton. • Ken Milender, Warner. Mission Statement The Warner River Local Advisory Committee (WRLAC) intends to carry out its responsibilities established by the New Hampshire Rivers Management and Protection Program (established under RSA 483), including the protection of the river’s outstanding characteristics ─ recreational, fisheries, wildlife, cultural and ecological, and to support the protection and maintenance of the riparian lands within the Warner River designated river corridor. This management plan represents the first step towards implementation of the WRLAC’s responsibilities. The Warner River Local Advisory Committee will focus its efforts on raising awareness of the need for conservation and thoughtful stewardship of the river’s many resources, including supporting the protection of the riparian and aquatic habitats, advocating for maintaining the current high quality and available quantity, and supporting conservation efforts throughout the Warner River corridor. The WRLAC will work with riparian landowners, other interested residents, and local government agencies in the towns of Warner, Sutton, Webster, Bradford, and Hopkinton to promote these efforts and to work as partners in maintaining the unique rural character of the Warner River. Neighboring communities and supporting agencies and organizations are welcome to participate and collaborate in the WRLAC activities.

    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).
