    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.

    4 Environmental Consequences and Identification of Mitigation Measures 4.1 Introduction This section describes the environmental consequences or impacts of the Proposed Action and provides a brief description of the existing or baseline conditions. Where impacts could not be avoided with the Proposed Action, measures to mitigate for the project’s impacts are described. 4.2 Transportation Evaluation 4.2.1 Existing Traffic and Travel Characteristics A data collection program was conducted during the months of November and December of 2001 to determine the base traffic and travel characteristics within the NH 125 study area. These inventories include the collection of daily and weekday peak period traffic volumes and turning movement counts, and a review of seasonal, daily, and hourly traffic volume trends. In addition, vehicle crash statistics were compiled and reviewed. Traffic counts were conducted at key locations along NH 125 and at eleven study area intersections. Table 4.2-1 summarizes the automatic traffic recorder counts that were conducted along NH 125. As shown in the table, traffic volumes along the corridor vary from approximately 23,000 vehicles per day (vpd), north of East Road in Plaistow to approximately 12,400 vpd, north of Old Coach Road in Kingston. The percentage of daily traffic occurring during the weekday morning and evening peak hour ranges from approximately 6 to 9 percent. The heavier volumes of traffic are predominantly southbound in the morning and northbound in the evening. Nh-bed\proj\51272\docs\reports\ EA\EA

It has no regulatory role, but is recognized for its impartial fact-finding and research mission. The Water Resources Division accomplishes this mission by collecting and interpreting hydrologic data and conducting research that enables water- resources managers to make decisions based on objective scientific information. This report describes the current (1993) activities of the Water Resources Division in New England. Water-resources studies in New England are conducted from offices located in each of the New England States. Staff in these offices receive support from specialists at the Area and Regional level, from the National Water Quality Laboratory, and from staff of the National Research Program. Quality assurance/ quality control systems, a National Training Center, and Nationally designed data systems ensure that Water Resources Division activities at all locations are accomplished by consistent proven methods.
