  • Analysis to Reduce the Number of Potential Scenic Resources
    EXHIBIT A APPENDIX G | Reduce Potential Scenic Resources Review of the Northern Pass Line Visual Impact Analysis APPENDIX G: Analysis to Reduce the Number of Potential Scenic Resources T. J. Boyle Associates, LLC APPENDIX G | Reduce Potential Scenic Resources Review of the Northern Pass Line Visual Impact Analysis T. J. Boyle Associates, LLC ANALYSIS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF POTENTIAL SCENIC RESOURCES April 6, 2017 Introduction T. J. Boyle provided an analysis of potential scenic resources that identified more than 18,000 scenic resources, as summarized in Table 6 of the NPT VIA Review. This analysis was based on available databases and presents the direct resulting data, with no attempts to further refine the data. As a result, there are many potential resources that may be construed as including “duplications,” as defined below. We have reviewed the List of Potential Scenic Resources in Appendix D of the NPT VIA Review for duplications, as described below. Identifying “Duplications” There are several forms of “duplication” that occurred in Appendix D as summarized in Table 6 of the NPT VIA Review. 1. Appendix D and Table 6 are organized by town. If a scenic resource, such as a state park, occurs in two towns then it was counted twice. 2. Each segment of a linear feature with potential visibility was listed as a separate scenic resource. For instance, two stretches of a scenic road several miles apart were each listed as a separate scenic resource. 3. A scenic resource may have several separately mapped parcels, and each one with potential visibility was listed separately.

  • State Park Director's Report, January 19, 2018
    Director’s Report STATE PARKS SYSTEM ADVISORY COUNCIL Division of Parks and Recreation January 19, 2018 Cannon Mountain • Opening weekend was a great success with approximately 3,725 visitors enjoying the most trails that Cannon’s opened with in its history. In fact, Cannon had top to bottom skiing for opening day and already had 24 trails opens by December 1st. However due to the exceedingly of the cold weather and then rain over the holiday weekend, YTD visits of 53,298 are down 18% from the same period last year but off only 4% from our 7 year YTD average. This is consistent with other ski areas in the state. • The $5.1 million project with energy service firm Ameresco to reduce energy consumption at the ski area has met if not exceeded expectations. The energy savings has exceeded the payments while significantly increasing snowmaking capabilities and providing critical upgrades to important infrastructure. Bureau of Park Operations • The Parks team in the northern and central region had their hands full responding to the damage caused by a severe wind and rain storm event that arrived in New Hampshire at the end of October. Moose Brook and Crawford Notch State Park campgrounds were especially hard hit. Livermore Falls was “as wild as I’ve ever seen it” according to Art Charbonneau, Central Region supervisor. White Lake State Park lost lots of trees as well, with some landing on the roof of the beach house building. • On the seacoast there was also a lot of storm clean-up, especially at Odiorne Point and Hampton Beach.
