The plan evaluated available data to determine realistic long-term water quality goals; conducted watershed surveys to identify sources of pollution; reviewed local land use regulations; mitigated identified erosion issues with its existing Youth Conservation Corps; and conducted an outreach campaign designed to raise stakeholder stewardship. The Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance (AWWA) coordinated this project as a catalyst for strengthening the efforts to protect the region’s waters to preserve their ecological, recreational and economic value. The community-driven Action Plan identified five key action categories. Phase 1 of the implementation project for the plan included activities within each of the recommended categories: Private and Public Roadway BMPs, Residential BMPs, Community Planning and Development, Outreach and Education and Land Conservation. These activities have resulted in measurable reductions of phosphorus inputs and have laid the foundation for future reductions. The project began on March 26, 2010 and concluded in December of 2011 excepting the completion of this report. The total project cost was $228,507 which included the $107,952 grant award and $120,555 non-federal match. Match was provided by the following generous supporters: Alden N. Young Trust Town of Acton ME Jane B Cook 1983 Charitable Lake associations Trust Adelard & Valeda Roy Foundation Individual donations Town of Wakefield NH In-kind and volunteer time In addition to the excellent support from the NH Department of Environmental Services Watershed Assistance Section and particularly Project Manager Sally Soule, AWWA’s project partners included: FB Environmental Associates Salmon Falls Watershed Collaborative Great East Lake Improvement Association Three Rivers Land Trust Horn Pond Association Town of Acton Lovell Lake Association Town of Wakefield Maine Congress of Lake Associations UNH Cooperative Extension Moose Mountains Regional Greenways UNH Lakes Lay Monitoring Program National Resource Conservation Service UNH Stormwater Center NH Lakes Association Wilson Lake Association Watershed Implementation (Phase 1) and Road Management Plan: Great East Lake, Lake Ivanhoe, Horn Pond, 1 Wilson Lake, and Lovell Lake – March 2012 Round Pond/Lake Ivanhoe Association York County Soil & Water Conservation District All four objectives of the Salmon Falls Headwater Lakes Management Plan project were met over the course of the project period. The AWWA staff and Board of Directors worked diligently to identify capacity needs and provide all necessary ability to successfully manage the project. Installation of 111 BMPs at 30 project sites within the Salmon Falls watershed resulted in a load reductions of 37.1 tons/year sediment and 31.8 lbs/year phosphorus. An additional 50 site-specific designs were delivered to landowners wishing to install their own BMPs or be considered as future Youth Conservation Corps hosts. The Road Management Plan for Brackett and Pond Roads, Wakefield, NH was presented to the Wakefield Board of Selectmen on May 25, 2011. The Board accepted the Plan and unanimously agreed to move forward with the quest to find grant funds to support implementation of the Plan. AWWA’s Roundtables, Intercept Survey, Discovery Cruises and School Programs engaged 234 local stakeholders in learning about land-use practices that maintain or improve water quality. Lake specific flyers with watershed maps were created and distributed to each lake association. 105 lake residents pledged to reduce their P Footprint by signing the Reduce Your P Footprint Pledge form. AWWA supported the volunteer lake water quality monitors and coordinated with the UNH Lakes Lay Monitoring Program to distribute the reports. Watershed Implementation (Phase 1) and Road Management Plan: Great East Lake, Lake Ivanhoe, Horn Pond, 2 Wilson Lake, and Lovell Lake – March 2012 Introduction The Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance (AWWA) is a non-profit volunteer organization formed in 2004 to protect and improve water quality in the lakes and streams in the Acton, ME, Wakefield, NH border region and ultimately in the rivers, estuaries and bays into which they flow. The Alliance is registered with the State of New Hampshire and holds 501(c)3 status. AWWA has nine active directors and officers who bring a wide range of expertise and affiliations to the group. The mission of AWWA is to protect and restore water quality by affecting land use practices and policies and in the border region of Acton, ME and Wakefield, NH.AWWA focuses its efforts on prevention of non-point source pollution, primarily as it is delivered through stormwater. The project area encompasses the headwaters of the Salmon Falls River which includes the watersheds of Lake Ivanhoe, Great East Lake, Wilson Lake, Horn Pond, and Lovell Lake. These watersheds cover approximately 26 mi2 along the border of New Hampshire and Maine. The Salmon Falls River forms the state border to its confluence with the Cocheco River in Dover, NH where it becomes the Piscataqua River and flows into the Gulf of Maine. Lake Ivanhoe and Lovell Lake are entirely in NH, Wilson Lake is in ME and Great East Lake and Horn Pond are bisected by the border. Both communities are primarily rural and forested with very little industrial or commercial development. While much of the land is undeveloped very little is permanently protected through conservation easements. The Hydrologic Unit Codes are 010600030403 and 010600030401. The lakes are a valuable resource in these communities providing recreation, relaxation, drinking water and a large percentage of the town revenues in the form of property taxes. Lakes and their surrounding lands also provide habitat for plants, wildlife and aquatic life. While clean water is essential for all life, pollution and irresponsible water use plague the waterbodies, making proactive protection of water resources essential. The Acton-Wakefield region in Western Maine and Eastern New Hampshire has an economy that depends greatly on the local waterbodies, including those that form the Salmon Falls Headwaters. In 2006, AWWA received its first 319 grant from the NH DES to initiate a Youth Conservation Corps program. After two years of focusing on the YCC program AWWA directors recognized the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the watershed characteristics, potential problems and threats and current water quality of the lakes and applied for additional funding through the 319 program. AWWA chose to focus on the Salmon Falls headwater lakes based on available data for analysis and the stakeholder support from the communities and lake associations. In early 2010, AWWA presented the “Salmon Falls Headwater Lakes Watershed Management Plan” which established measurable water quality goals and provided a detailed action plan for implementation. Later in 2010 AWWA applied once more for funding through the NH Watershed Assistance Section for 319 funding to implement recommendations from the Plan. Phase 1 of implementation focused on the development of a road management plan for problematic gravel roads around Lovell Lake, continued focus on residential erosion control Watershed Implementation (Phase 1) and Road Management Plan: Great East Lake, Lake Ivanhoe, Horn Pond, 3 Wilson Lake, and Lovell Lake – March 2012 through the YCC and Technical

This 2006 memo is attached as Appendix A. Purpose The purpose of this memorandum is to: a.) summarize the existing horizontal and vertical clearances and identify the minimum required bridge lifts versus the actual number of bridge lifts of the Sarah Mildred Long and Portsmouth Memorial Bridges; b.) identify the users of the river; c.) analyze the bridge lift records; d.) summarize feedback from users of the river and those responsible for the river’s operation. Additionally, a survey to address the current and future uses has been sent to users of the river. A separate technical memorandum will be prepared with the analysis of the responses when received. 1 Methodology a. Existing Clearances and Frequency of Lifts Table 1 provides the clearances for the three lower Piscataqua River bridges as identified on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Chart 13283, 20th Edition. The vertical clearance is the distance between mean high water and the underside of the bridge.

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.
