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). -

Stream Crossings Like Habitat Connectivity, Streams Require Continuity to Support the Movement of Aquatic Organisms
MANAGING STATE LANDS FOR WILDLIFE Stream Crossings Like habitat connectivity, streams require continuity to support the movement of aquatic organisms. Many species need different habitats for feeding, breeding, and shelter. The ability to move up or down stream is required for the natural dispersal of individuals. Disruption of stream continuity can result in the loss and degradation of habitat, block wildlife movement, and disrupt the ecological processes that occur in streams over time. Intersections of streams and roads—or stream crossings—have been historically designed to pass water under a road without consideration of stream continuity. Flow variability, natural sediment transport, and aquatic organism passage are overlooked. Characteristic problems of culverts include undersized, shallow, or perched crossings resulting in low or high flow, unnatural bed materials, scouring, erosion, clogging, and ponding. Bridges generally have a lesser impact on streams but, if improperly designed, can still result in sediment deposition and/or streambed degradation. Good stream crossing for wildlife are also good for people. Proper design and placement reduce erosion and damage to roads, infrastructure, and personal property.

Mascoma WMA (Canaan) This property contained a 15 foot culvert used to cross the 60-80 foot wide Mascoma River that bisects the property. The culvert was installed by the former landowner. The constriction caused by the culvert led to significant riverbank erosion both up and downstream, forced the river to change course, and deterred fish passage. -

Population Status of Arctic, Common, and Roseate Terns in the Gulf of Maine with Observations of Five Downeast Colonies
POPULATION STATUS OF ARCTIC, COMMON, AND ROSEATE TERNS IN THE GULF OF MAINE WITH OBSERVATIONS OF FIVE DOWNEAST COLONIES. prepared by: David C. ~olger and Matthew P. Drennan -1- Declines in numbers of Arctic Terns Sterna paradisaea~ Common Terns S.hirundo, and Roseate Terns S.dougallii, throughout the northeast have been noted since 1940 (Drury 1973, Korshgen 1978, Nisbet 1973). Recent observations of Arctic and Common Terns in the Gulf of Maine have indicated a continuation and potential heightening of trends noted over the past forty years. Comparisons between counts of Arctic Terns by Drury in 1972-73 (Drury, 1973) and by Drury and Folger in 1983 (unpublished data), have indicated a population decline of as much as 40% over the last decade. Furthermore, the most recent complete survey of Common Terns in the state, done in 1977, indicated a parallel decline of 30%. Reductions in breeding habitat and in number of Roseate Terns has prompted ·fedet·"~"d considet-aticln ·fol~ "thl~eab~rH?~d" ~;;tatus (Nisbet, 1980). Because of a concern for terns in general and warnings indicated by previous surveys our work was initiated to further clarify the tern situation in the Gulf of Maine and to investigate the reasons for the decline in numbers. In the summer of 1984 we censused the outer islands of the Maine coast for terns from Metinic Island, at the western edge of Penobscot Bay, to Old Man Island, east of Cutler. We made detailed observations on five of the islands in order to examine the various factors that influence tern production. -
