  • 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.
