  • 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).

Introduction page 1 2. Maps and Analyses 3 3. Co-occurrence Model 13 4. Conservation Opportunities 16 Acknowledgements 21 Recommendations for Further Study 22 Appendix 1: Technical Report on GIS Data Appendix 2: Open Lands and Early Successional Habitat Mapping 1. Introduction In October of 2002, The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests (SPNHF) entered into an agreement with the Mascoma Watershed Conservation Council (MWCC) to complete a natural resource inventory (NRI) for the 195 square mile Mascoma River watershed, located in west-central New Hampshire (Figure 1, Mascoma Watershed Study Area). This report details the findings from that NRI and presents recommendations for further work. The goals of the NRI were to: 1. Map and describe significant natural resources; 2. Examine land use / natural resource relationships; 3. Identify areas of high ecological value based on co-occurrence of significant features; 4. Develop strategic options for natural resources protection. MWCC, SPNHF, and the Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission (UVLSRPC) cooperated to develop a project scope which included the following mapping and analysis products: 1. Conservation Lands Basemap 2. Land Cover 3. Soils 4. Unfragmented Lands 5. Water Resources 6. Wildlife Habitat 7. Co-occurrence Model Each map displays the appropriate and “best available” data for its portion of the natural resources analysis. The maps are intended as planning tools, and are designed to present a landscape scale picture of the watershed in such a way that patterns of natural resource occurrence are clearly evident to decision makers.

  • The Mascoma River
    WD-R&L-26 2011 The Mascoma River The Mascoma River is part of the Connecticut River drainage basin. Its headwater is Cummins Pond in Dorchester, and it travels through Canaan, Enfield and Lebanon before joining the Connecticut River in West Lebanon. The part of the Mascoma River designated under the NH Rivers Management and Protection Program in May 2011, encompasses the last 25.3 miles of the river. The recently designated area includes the section of the Mascoma River from the Canaan Street Lake outlet in Canaan, downstream through Enfield, including Mascoma Lake, to the confluence of the Mascoma River with the Connecticut River in West Lebanon. The river is regulated by seven impoundments but is largely free- flowing. The 2010 NH Section 305(b)/303(d) Surface Water Quality Report lists Mascoma Lake as impaired for supporting aquatic life due to low dissolved oxygen, non-native aquatic plants and aluminum, and nine segments of the Mascoma River were impaired Mascoma River and its Watershed for safe swimming due to E.coli bacteria. History The Mascoma River was originally used as a trade route by Native Americans, and artifacts dating back to 9,000 B.C. have been found on its banks. European settlement of the river began in Lebanon during the 18th century. The river served as a highway for goods and a power source for grist and saw mills, fueling the towns that were founded on its banks. Several of the historic riverfront structures remain, with one listing on the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and four historic districts within the towns of Lebanon, Enfield and Canaan.
