Such planning efforts are critical to protecting and effectively managing New Hampshire’s rivers. The guide is specifically designed for Local River Management Advisory Committees working under the guidelines of the Rivers Management and Protection Program, but it can also be used by other groups. Each time a group develops a new plan, the process is slightly different. Groups who have completed a river corridor management plan can provide valuable insight into the process, as can the State Rivers Coordinator, who also has experience in creating plans. This document attempts to summarize that experience and knowledge in one easy-to-use guide. There are six basic tasks in developing a management plan: 1. Getting Organized 2. Identifying River Values and Threats 3. Setting River Corridor Management Goals and Defining Management Options 4. Creating the Plan 5. Getting the Plan Approved 6. Implementing and Updating the Plan The guide considers the first four steps and introduces the latter two. The final two steps will depend on the management plan, situation, resources, and conditions in the area. The Rivers Coordinator and others are available for consultation on steps 5 and 6. As you go through the process of creating a river corridor management plan, it is important to keep in mind that the end product will be a written

  • 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.

    Appendix B: Habitats Floodplain Habitats Photo by Ben Kimball Acres in NH: 23,201 Percent of NH Area: >1 Acres Protected: 7656 Percent Protected: 33 Habitat Distribution Map Habitat Description Floodplains occur in river valleys adjacent to river channels and are prone to periodic flooding. Floodplains are often comprised of forests, oxbows, meadows, and thickets. The habitats, vegetation, and hydrologic regime of floodplains are strongly influenced by watershed size, gradient, and channel morphometry. Most open or partially wooded floodplain communities occur on low floodplains. Sloughs, oxbows, vernal pools, and other depressions in the floodplain tend to be inundated for longer periods than low floodplains (Sperduto 2011). Floodplain soils range from well‐drained coarse sand on levees to poorly drained silts and mucks in depressions, and tend to be moderately to strongly minerotrophic (Sperduto 2011). Montane/near‐boreal floodplains are found primarily along rivers in the White Mountains or northern New Hampshire, and have relatively high gradients and flashy flood regimes compared to other floodplain systems. Sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and balsam fir (Abies balsamea) are dominant trees, and riparian wetlands such as oxbows and sloughs are uncommon in these high‐ gradient floodplains. Major river silver maple floodplains occur primarily along the Connecticut and Merrimack Rivers, and occasionally on lower reaches of major tributaries. These floodplains are often interspersed with oxbow marshes and shrub communities. The forested areas are characterized by a canopy of silver maple (Acer saccharinum) over a lush herbaceous layer, with a sparse shrub layer. Temperate minor river floodplains are found along large streams and small rivers in central and New Hampshire Wildlife Action Plan Appendix B-101 Appendix B: Habitats southern New Hampshire.

  • Town of Washington, New Hampshire Master Plan 2015
    Town of Washington, New Hampshire Master Plan 2015 2. NATURAL RESOURCES The Natural Resource Inventory (NRI) and Conservation Plan (CP) are an integral part of the Town’s Master Plan. Much of the following information was excerpted from those documents, and we recommend that, if you are interested, you read both documents and consult the NRI maps to learn more about the natural resources in Washington and the Town’s efforts to protect them. OVERVIEW OF CURRENT SITUATION: The area, now known as the Town of Washington, was settled in 1768. On December 9, 1776 it was incorporated as a town, taking the name of a soon-to-be-famous Revolutionary War general, George Washington. Washington is situated in the southeast corner of Sullivan County and covers approximately 30,712 +/- acres or 47.6 square miles. Elevations in Washington range from a low of 880 feet, in the lower Shedd Brook area on the Windsor town line, to a high of 2,473 feet at the summit of Lovewell Mountain. Steeper slopes, of up to 50%, cover about a quarter of the Town including much of Lovewell Mountain, the northern corners of the Town, Oak Hill and a line running northeast from Ames Hill to the Town line. Washington includes two villages: The Town Center has an elevation of 1,507 feet, while East Washington is at 939 feet. The highest summit is Lovewell Mountain, at 2,473 feet, but several other peaks reach to about 2,000 feet. It is a rocky Town with many large boulders, outcrops and areas of ledge underlying stony loam.
