  • 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.

  • Final Report
    NATURAL RESOURCE INVENTORY of the WHITE OAK POND WATERSHED Ashland, Center Harbor, & Holderness, NH FINAL REPORT [White Oak Pond as seen from the northeast shoreline] Compiled by: Dr. Rick Van de Poll Ecosystem Management Consultants 30 N. Sandwich Rd. Center Sandwich, NH 03227 603‐284‐6851 [email protected] Submitted to: Squam Lakes Conservation Society December 2020 i ii SUMMARY The 2982‐acre White Oak Pond watershed lies at the head of Mill Brook along Route 3 in Holderness, New Hampshire. It includes the 298‐acre, 35‐foot deep White Oak Pond (and islands) and its two primary drainage systems in Holderness, Ashland, and Center Harbor. The watershed forms the western part of the 28,094‐acre Squam Lake Drainage (HUC 010700010502) and lies immediately above Piper Cove on Squam Lake. The two perennial streams total 2.26 miles, with the largest one rising on the north slopes of McCrillis Hill in Center Harbor and flowing northerly, and the slightly smaller one draining an unnamed hill in the eastern corner of Ashland and flowing easterly through a large beaver marsh on Coxboro Road. The watershed is primarily forested, although ponds, wetlands and other surface waters make up a substantial portion of the area (23.8%). Forests are primarily mixed hardwoods and conifers, with an abundance of white pine and red oak that have regenerated from former pastureland. Forested wetlands make up the plurality of the hydric soils areas, where red maple swamps are the most common. Other commercially viable timber species include red spruce, eastern hemlock, sugar maple, yellow birch, beech, and white oak.

  • 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.
