  • 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).

  • Water Quality Goal Technical Memo
    Squam Lakes Watershed Plan Water quality goal technical memo Funding for this project was provided in part by a Watershed Assistance Grant from the NH Department of Environmental Services with Clean Water Act Section 319 funds from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. September 2019 Squam Lakes Watershed Plan Water Quality Goal Memo Purpose: This report summarizes the steps taken to determine a water quality goal for Squam Lake and Little Squam Lake for the Squam Lakes Watershed Management Plan. Partners, collaborators, and stakeholders worked together to review existing data and water quality model predictions to determine an in-lake water quality goal. The goal will be used to measure the success of the watershed management plan recommendations. Site Description The Squam Lakes Watershed (Figure 1), located in central New Hampshire, covers 36,644 acres. At the heart of the watershed is Squam Lake (6,762 acres) and Little Squam Lake (408 acres). The watershed is 20% open water. Of the land area, 85% is forested. There is minimal development in the Squam Lakes Watershed and along the shores of the Squam Lakes; less than 3% of the watershed is considered low density development, while high and medium density development are less than 0.1% of the total watershed area. There are 34 tributaries for the Squam River and Lakes. Water flows generally from east to west, from Squam Lake, through the Squam Channel, into Little Squam Lake, and through two miles of the Squam River until the lake impoundment in Ashland. Ultimately, the Squam River drains into the Pemigewasset River in Ashland.

  • Fall 2017 Squam’S Land Trust Roots Change and Uncertainty…Hallmarks of the Twenty-First Century
    Squam Lookout Fall 2017 Squam’s Land Trust Roots Change and uncertainty…hallmarks of the Twenty-first Century. In a time when technology alters social order and forms of communication, our institutions struggle to respond to stark political divisions, and our environment is increasingly challenged by catastrophic weather events, how might land conservation and your land trust address any of the great questions we face? For starters, land conservation creates certainty by permanently protecting lands used for farms that provide food and forests that provide the resources to build and heat our homes. Land conservation also provides a link from our past to our future and is a reminder of the importance of place. We can even say that land conservation transcends political divides. But land conservation, at least in this era, also serves some greater purposes. Protecting land is a statement of values. The amount of land protected in the Squam watershed has more than tripled in the last decade, reflecting how land conservation binds community in common purpose. Conserved land creates havens for wildlife, mitigates the effect of climate change, and provides us the space for spiritual excursions that remind us of our humanity. In short, land conservation provides roots. Roots for our community, roots for our forests, and roots to build a more sustainable future. We are ever mindful of the responsibility to help build a stronger community with every project we complete and steward. In this edition of the Squam Lookout, we celebrate the completion of two more community-minded projects: the donation of the 75-acre Richards Coolidge Conservation Area in Ashland and the purchase of the 90-acre Eastman Brook Preserve in Sandwich (see page 3 for details).

  • Spring-2015-Newslett
    Squam Lookout Spring 2015 Connections Squam’s Land Trust What makes the Squam watershed, and its people, so special? Beyond the factors of geography, history, and a deep commitment to land conservation and low-impact uses lie countless connections spanning place, people, and time. In this edition, we honor the actions of Reggie Pettitt and his daughter Betsey, Dick and Nelleke Allen, and Chip and Wendy Harris for permanently protecting their land. They join a growing number of landowners in the Squam watershed who have taken the bold step of conserving their land. The Squam we cherish today is the result of countless actions which led to deeper community connections. Many of those actions are forgotten; some are imbedded in our institutions and community. A fascinating story of action and connection is that of Reuben Whitten, who in 1816 fed his family and neighbors when the “year-without-a-summer” The Boards and Staff of SLA, SLNSC, and SLCS gather for a joint retreat featuring Chuck Loring. The topics were arranged to bolster impact and connections between the organizations and the Squam community. posed a grave threat (see page 5). Whitten’s life-saving actions serve to connect our past to our future through the Whitten Woods project, the newest of our Squam Uplands projects. Standing on an overlook on Whitten Woods, one can see across the widest stretches of both Little Squam and Big Squam Lakes, revealing another spectacular view of the Squam watershed. Whether east or west, north or south, on snowshoes or a sailboat, Squam is beautiful at every turn.

  • Master Plan Natural Resources Chapter May 2020
    Natural Resources 5.6.2020 Introduction Holderness lies in a diverse area of the Lakes Region with many important natural resources available to the town and its residents. Surface and groundwater resources abound in Holderness, and numerous wetlands protect drinking water supplies, prevent flood damage, and provide exceptional wildlife habitat. Productive soils grow extensive forests and maintain the scattered agricultural lands in town. Clean air, water, and land continue to attract visitors and year-round residents alike. The following issues identified by the Planning Board and the Conservation Commission address the conservation, preservation and natural resource concerns of Holderness: • Protect wetland habitat. • Prevent the fragmentation of the landscape in order to preserve wildlife habitat. • Protect the upper elevations of the town’s watersheds, including its working forests. • Protect the shores of Squam Lake, Little Squam Lake, the many ponds located in Holderness, the Pemigewasset River and feeder streams. • Offer protection for its stratified drift aquifers. • Ensure that development is not in conflict with natural resources protection. Keeping these issues in mind, this chapter will address the current status of natural resources within Holderness and serve as a guide for their conservation and protection. 1. Physical Landscape Holderness lies in the heart of the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. This region is known for an abundance of lakes and ponds amidst sandy glacial outwash and till. It is largely forested, with hemlock-hardwood- pine and northern hardwood-conifer forests predominant in the uplands. The region is also transitional from the more rugged, higher elevation White Mountains to the north and low-lying plains to the southeast.
