    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).

    Invitation little booklet goes out on its journey of love and friendship, extend- ing to the Sons and Daughters of Madison a cordial invitation to return to her hills and unite with her friends in renewing old acquaintances and partake of the festivities in the observance of Old Home Week. "How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood, When fond recollection presents them to view! The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood, And every loved spot which my infancy knew." To the lover of nature Madison abounds in many scenes of artistic beauty. Its hills, valleys, babbling brooks and lakes, each greet the eye and are waiting to yield their beauty to the pencil of the artist or the focus of the camera. June is the month to see the foliage in all its freshness, and the streams are more full and musical. The cloud scenery is grand and the beautiful landscape is kindled by the long light of the afternoon. The latter half of June is the blossom beauty of our hills; the first half of October is the time of its full-hued fruitage. It would require a volume to describe the many beautiful scenes of interest in and around this picturesque locality; the Madison boulders and cascades, Bickford's cave, Lead mine and mountains, together with many other natural curiosities within a day's travel, greet the visitors who seek rest and recreation among our hills. —Watson Photo Silver Lake from Pine Ridge.

  • 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.

  • Natural Resources
    Ver 8/5/2013 CHAPTER 8: NATURAL RESOURCES Photo: Kamal Nath 76 Ver 8/5/2013 8.1. Introduction Effingham Conservation Commission (ECC) assembled a Natural Resources Inventory in 2007. At its simplest, a Natural Resources Inventory (NRI) is an identification, description and compilation of a given Town’s Natural Resources based on maps and scientific data. Chapter 8 of this Master Plan is based on the 2007 NRI. The entire NRI is available in the appendix of this document. The primary focus of the Natural Resources chapter is to identify the natural resources in the town of Effingham, recognize the role these resources play in giving the Town its character and decide what strategies would best maintain this character (see Section 8.9 titled Natural Resource Goals). All of the community’s resources are interconnected and any change to one can have a significant impact on the others. As the population increases, demands on many of these resources will increase, possibly to the point of threatening the quality and quantity of the resource. The goal of this Natural Resources Inventory is to help develop a balance between development and resource protection within Effingham that will guide future sustainable development of the community. Below is a summary of a few features of the natural resources in Effingham. Table 1: Effingham Land and Water Distribution Type Acres Total Town Area 25,555.9 (39.9 sq. mi.)

  • Chapter Four
    OSSIPEE MASTER PLAN Chapter 4: NATURAL RESOURCES Geology Most of the information for this section came from Surficial Geology of the Ossipee Lake Quadrangle, New Hampshire by Robert Newton, published by NHDRED. Ossipee is in the Bearcamp-Ossipee River drainage system. There are many lakes and ponds. The mountains are composed of igneous rock. The Ossipee Mountains lie in a circle called a ring dike formation. Geologists consider the Ossipee Mountains to be one of the finest examples in the world of a ring dike complex. The outer ring is a nearly circular wall of granite nine miles (14 km) in diameter. With nearly a dozen peaks over 2,000 feet, the outer ring embraces an inner pluton, or plug, of similar granite, forming rugged lower hills that include scenic Dan Hole and Conner ponds. The ring dike formed in the Cretaceous period between 100 and 130 million years ago as granite intruded into a much older volcanic magma chamber. Much earlier in the geologic history of the area, there were periods where the rock layers were folded and faulted, creating mountains. Lava flows and volcanoes formed on the older rocks, and the heat and pressure formed metamorphic rocks. According to James Robert Wilson in The Geology of the Ossipee Lake Quadrangle, NH Bulletin #3, this mountain building activity may have caused present day fault zones and earthquakes in the Ossipee Mountains. Mountains as large as the Himalayas rose and were later eroded away leaving the ring dike. There were several periods of mountain building and erosion. Large ice sheets that covered the area, moving north to south, about 60,000 years ago, created most of the present land surface.

Terrestrially-derived DOM is commonly the largest carbon pool in lakes. As such, terrestrial DOM represents a major source of potential energy for aquatic food webs that may subsidize higher trophic levels (including zooplankton and fish) and determine whether lake ecosystems act as sources or sinks of CO2. Our project addresses three main factors that influence terrestrial carbon flow in lakes. Objective 1: Determine whether the energetic importance of terrestrial DOM in lakes is ultimately determined by bacterial metabolism.
