DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, HYDROGRA?HIC BRANCH, Washington, D. C., March 16, 1905. SIR: I transmit herewith the manuscript of Part I of a series of twelve papers which compose the Report of Progress of Stream Meas­ urements for the Calendar Year 1904. Parts I ta VI of this report contain the results of the data collected in the territory east of Missis­ sippi River. Parts VII to XII are devoted to the data collected in the territory west of Mississippi River. The larger part of the original data for this report was collected under the direction of district hydrographer H. K. Barrows, who was assisted by S. K. Clapp, F. E. Pressey, and T. W. Norcross. The assembling of the data and its preparation for publication were done under the direction of John C. Hoyt, who has been assisted by R. H. Bolster, Robert Follansbee, Willis E. Hall, A. H. Horton, and H. D. Padgett. I request that this manuscript be published as one of the series of Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers. Very respectfully, F. H. NEWELL, Chief Engineer. Hon. CHARLES D. WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 7 PROGRESS REPORT OF STREAM MEASUREMENTS FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 1904. By H. K. BARROWS and JOHN C. HOYT. INTRODUCTION. The hydrographic work of the United States Geological Survey includes the collection of facts concerning and the study of conditions affecting the behavior of water from the time it reaches the earth as rain or snow until it joins the oceans or great navigable rivers. These investigations became a distinct feature of the work of the Survey in the fall of 1888, when an instruction camp was established at Embudo, N. Mex. Since that date the work has been continually and gradually extended as larger funds became available. The first distinctive appropriation for gaging streams was made by the act of August 18, 1894, which contained an item of $12,500, "for gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the United States, including the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells in the arid and semiarid sections." (Digest of Appropriations for 1895, p. 270.) Since that time a similar act has been passed each year and the appropriations have gradually increased, as shown in the following table: Annual appropriations for hydrographic surveys.

    Presumpscot Watershed Initiative PROJECT FACTSHEET Historical Background The success of the Presumpscot The Presumpscot River flows 27 miles from Sebago Lake into Casco Bay and the Watershed Initiative was the result of Gulf of Maine. The river’s watershed encompasses 205 square miles of primarily many partners working together throughout the watershed to improve forested and agricultural land. The river itself has a history of extensive industrial habitat and water quality and to foster use since the early 1700s. By the 1950s, the river had nine ddams an was so stewardship. In addition to the Casco polluted that fumes from the river peeled paint off nearby homes. Prior to Bay Estuary Partnership, partners industrialization, there were abundant salmon, alewife, shad, smelt, and eel included: fisheries, which have since been greatly diminished. Cumberland County Soil and Water Conservation District In recent years the water and habitat quality of the river have improved with the Friends of Casco Bay cessation of pulp mill discharges in the 1990s and the removal of Smelt Hill Dam Presumpscot River Watch in 2002. Anadromous fish are returning to the river’s main stem and tributaries. Presumpscot River Watershed Coalition Environmental Challenges Maine Department of While the river has recovered from some past problems, increased watershed Environmental Protection and shoreline development are leading to environmental impacts: Municipal road crews, state agencies, Toxic chemicals and excess nutrients enter the river system via stormwater golf courses, citizen volunteers, landowners, schools, and many flowing from impervious surfaces. others! Excess sedimentation from roadways and livestock activities deteriorate fish spawning areas. The loss of riparian vegetation causes thermal impacts, which impair water quality for cold water fisheries.

    Why is Sebago Lake so deep? Maine Geological Survey Maine Geologic Facts and Localities February, 1999 Why is Sebago Lake so deep? 43° 51‘ 13.36“ N, 70° 33‘ 43.98“ W Text by Robert A. Johnston Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 1 Why is Sebago Lake so deep? Maine Geological Survey Introduction Modern geophysical equipment allows geologists to investigate previously unmapped environments, including ocean and lake floors. Recent geophysical research studied the types, composition, areal extent, and thickness of sediments on the bottom of Sebago Lake in southwestern Maine. Geologists used side- scan sonar and seismic reflection profiling to map the bottom of the lake. Approximately 58 percent of the lake bottom was imaged with side-scan sonar and over 60 miles of seismic reflection profiles were collected. This web site will discuss the findings of the seismic reflection profiling. Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 2 Why is Sebago Lake so deep? Maine Geological Survey Physiographic setting Sebago Lake, although second in surface area to Moosehead Lake, is Maine's deepest lake. With a water depth of 316 feet, its deepest part is 49 feet below sea level! Sebago Lake is located in southwestern Maine 20 miles northwest of Portland and 50 miles southeast of the White Mountains. It lies along the transition between the Central Highlands and the Coastal Lowlands physiographic regions of New England (Figure 1). The abrupt change in landscape can be seen in panoramic views from several vantage points near Sebago Lake. Denny, 1982 Denny, Maine Geological Survey From From Figure 1.

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).

    Upper Winooski Watershed Fisheries Summary

    2017 Upper Winooski Fisheries Assessment Prepared by Bret Ladago; Fisheries Biologist, Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department The Upper Winooski River watershed is defined in this fisheries assessment as the Winooski River from the headwaters in Cabot downstream to the top of the Bolton Dam in Duxbury. Introduction The Winooski River basin contains a diversity of fish species, many of which support popular recreational fisheries. Most streams within this watershed provide suitable habitat to support naturally reproducing, “wild” trout populations. Wild populations of native brook trout flourish in the colder, higher elevation streams. Lower reaches of some tributaries and much of the mainstem also support naturalized populations of wild rainbow and brown trout. Both species were introduced to Vermont in the late 1800s, rainbow trout from the West coast and brown trout from Europe. Most of the tributary streams of the Winooski River basin are managed as wild trout waters (i.e. are not stocked with hatchery-reared trout). The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department (VFWD) stocks hatchery-reared brook trout, brown trout or rainbow trout to supplement recreational fisheries in the Winooski River mainstem from Marshfield Village to Bolton Dam, as well as in the North Branch (Worcester to Montpelier) and Mad River (Warren to Moretown) where habitat conditions (e.g. temperature, flows) limit wild trout production. As mainstem conditions vary seasonally, wild trout may reside in these areas during certain times of the year. Naturally reproducing populations of trout have been observed in the upper mainstem of the Winooski as far downstream as Duxbury. Trout from mainstem reaches and larger tributaries may migrate into smaller tributary streams to spawn.
