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).

  • Land Protection Plan
    Appendix A Ian Drew/USFWS View of upland forest on the refuge Land Protection Plan Land Protection Plan Land Protection Plan I. Introduction We propose to expand the land acquisition boundary of the Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge by 49,718 acres. We also recognize the importance of communicating our interest in acquiring and conserving that land to our partners in conservation, the local community, and the public. This land protection plan (LPP) explains our interests and intentions to owners of land near the refuge, to state agencies in New Hampshire and Maine, our conservation partners, local communities and the public. It also presents methods the Service and landowners interested in selling their land can use in accomplishing the wildlife habitat objectives of alternative B, our preferred alternative in the draft comprehensive conservation plan (CCP) and environmental impact statement (EIS) for the refuge. We developed this LPP at the same time and in conformance with that draft CCP and EIS. We believe our acquisition of additional land in fee title and conservation easements will contribute significantly to the conservation of federal trust resources in the Upper Androscoggin River watershed. The purposes of this LPP are � to inform landowners of our long-standing policy of acquiring land only from willing sellers. If an owner is not interested in selling, we will not purchase that land or an easement on it. � to inform the public clearly and concisely about resource protection needs, our priorities and policies for protecting land, the extent of our proposal, and potential conservation methods; � to describe the impacts of our proposal; and � to describe our intentions for managing the land we acquire.

  • 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.) Total Land Area 24,827.0 Total Water Area 728.9 Total Hydric Area 6,461.3 Total NWI Area 4,094.8 Acreages for land area, water, hydric soils and National Wetland Inventory (NWI) wetlands provided by NH GRANIT (http://www.granit.sr.unh.edu/).

  • 1995 Nash Stream Forest Management Plan
    Nash Stream Forest MANAGEMENT PLAN State of New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development 1995 050 Nash Stream Forest FOREWORD The Nash Stream Forest is a unique parcel of land in Northern New Hampshire. Its acquisi- tion in 1988, through a collaborative effort between the state of New Hampshire Land Conservation Investment Program, the U.S. Forest Service, The Nature Conservancy, The Trust for New Hampshire Lands, and The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests is equally unique, and serves as a milestone in state, private and federal cooperation. The diversity of the groups represented in this effort is almost as great as the diversity of resources that exists within the Nash Stream Forest and the topography of the land itself. Yet over an eighteen-month period, representatives from each of these groups worked together, to negotiate an arrangement which all felt was in the best interest of the land and the people who use it. All of the groups involved in the purchase and future management of the Nash Stream Forest recognized the importance of protecting the Forest from development, as well as the importance of continuing to use the land in a "multiple-use" manner—for education and research, as a key watershed area, for fish and wildlife, recreation, scenic qualities, and as a sustainable timber resource. These mutual concerns led to the successful purchase of the property, the formation of a Technical Team to assist in the development of a management plan, and to a gubernatorial-appointed Advisory Committee to focus public input and pro- vide insightful advice (see page 9).

(Berger), has completed a Phase IA archaeological investigation for the proposed Granite Reliable Power Windpark (Windpark), Coos County, New Hampshire. The purpose of the survey was to identify and assess areas of archaeological sensitivity (or potential) and identify any archaeological sites within the area of potential effects (APE), which for this survey includes all parts of the proposed Windpark that will be subject to ground disturbance, including turbine construction, access road improvements and construction, collection line installation, and switchyard and substation construction. This investigation was designed in accordance with guidelines issued by the New Hampshire Department of Historical Resources (NHDHR). The Windpark is proposed for installation on private land in the central portion of Coos County, encompassing a total area of approximately 80,000 acres, of which the APE is a subset. The Windpark is located in a current logging area in the White Mountains region of north-central New Hampshire. The northern extent of the wind turbine locations within the APE includes the upper reaches of Dixville Peak. Moving south, the wind turbine area includes the named summits of Mt.
