Massachusetts Great Ponds List Any project located in, on, over or under the water of a great pond is within the jurisdiction of Chapter 91. A great pond is defined as any pond or lake that contained more than 10 acres in its natural state. Ponds that once measured 10 or more acres in their natural state, but which are now smaller, are still considered great ponds. This is a county-by-county listing of great ponds in Massachusetts, according to a 1996 Waterways Program Study. This listing was last revised in September 2017 (updating ponds in Hopkinton, Milford, and Upton).

    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).

    Wenham Great Pond

    Wenham Great Pond BY JOHJV C. PHILLIPS SALEM PEABODY MUSEUM Copyright, 1938, by The Peabody Museum, Salem, Massachusetts Printed by The Southworth-A nthoensen Press, Portland, Maine \VEN HAM GREAT POND MosT of the source material for this book was collected for me by Mr.Arthur C. Pickering of Salem in 1913. He had access to the town records of Wenham and Beverly, the libraries of Boston, Salem and Beverly, the files of the Salem Register, Water Board Records) the Registry of Deeds in Salem) etc.) etc. He talked with various of the older men of that time) Mr. John Robinson of Salem, Mr. Robert S. Rantoul (author of the paper on Wenham Lake from which I quote largely), Alonzo Galloupe of Beverly) Mr. William Porter) then town clerk of Wenham) Mr. George E. Woodbury of the Beverly Historical Society) and others. For a good many years these notes of Mr. Pickering's lay around my desk) but in 1933 they were used to prepare an article on Wen­ ham Lake) partly historical) partly dealing with the water short­ age) which appeared in the Salem Evening News in March and April of that year. Ahead of us lies 1943, when Wenham will celebrate her three hundredth anniversary, and it seems possible that a collection of notes such as these) dealing with one of our best known "Great Ponds)" might be acceptable )for the lives of the earlier people must always have centered around this beautiful lake. I was greatly disappointed, at the time we were looking up the history of the lake) to find so few references to it, almost nothing of Indian l()re, of the fisheries and wild lift, or the earliest settlers.

    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.
