Silver Lake Newsletter SILVER LAKE NEWSLETTER VOLUME XL 2011 SPRING/SUMMER SILVER LAKE ASSOCIATION OF CHESHAM AND NELSON, INC. ANNUAL MEETING...9AM...SATURDAY, JULY 2, 2011 WELLS MEMORIAL SCHOOL (Rain Location Chesham Village Church due to possible use by Harrisville Old Home Days) OUR MISSION: TO PROTECT SILVER LAKE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS http://slakenh.org FROM THE PRESIDENT Linda Braun Summer is around the corner and the memory of ice and snow a distant thought. Just a few weeks ago our dock was put in by the guys from What’s Up Doc and they protected themselves from the chilly water temperature by wearing div- ing suits. By Memorial Day weekend, a number of us were swimming as air temperatures had reached almost 90 de- grees. Polly Croteau, our resident loon expert, tells us that one pair and one juvenile adult loon have been seen at Grassy Island. As my husband and I motored across the lake recently, we confirmed Polly’s sightings. As we cut the boat engine we watched and listened as the loons called each other; surely a sign that summer season on the lake has arrived. The Silver Lake Association is busy all year round, but summer is when we really kick into high gear. As with most recent summers, our volunteer Lake Host program has already be- gun welcoming fishermen and boaters to Stoney Beach. We’ll start the paid hosting session the weekend of July 4th and continue through August 21st. We are always looking for volunteers to be Weed Watchers on Silver Lake. Weed watching involves a small amount of time during the summer months searching the shallow areas of the lake for invasive species. Volunteers survey designated areas using their own canoes, kayaks or other slow-moving boats. Please remember to put our annual meeting on your calendar for July 2nd, 9:00am at the Wells Memorial School. This year’s speaker will be Meade Cadot from the Harris Center in Hancock, who will surely provide us with an entertaining and learning experience. Stoney Beach is a very busy place throughout the summer, and we ask for your help in protecting it and the Lake. Before you launch, please allow our Lake Hosts to check your boat for invasive exotic plants. This will help us keep our waters healthy and clean. Please use ONLY the stairs to enter the water...walking over the erosion-control mats will defeat their purpose, and entering at the boat ramp could prove dangerous for swimmers. When you leave, please take trash and belongings with you. The Silver Lake Association thanks you for your assistance. ANNUAL MEETING SILVER LAKE LAND TRUST August 20...10am...Brantwood Camp (Rain location Wells Memorial School) Members and Non-members alike are welcome VOL.XL SPRING/SUMMER 2011 SLA NEWSLETTER 2 SLA COMMITTEE REPORTS Erosion Control…The June, 2010, microburst slowed down the cleaning, repair and testing of the existing culverts and the com- pletion of those on Eastside and Cricket Hill Roads. We will continue to work with the Town to insure that the storm man- agement project is completed as well as to monitor its effective- ness. Pictured here, an erosion-control mat at Stoney Beach. Fish and Wildlife…Silver Lake is a healthy body of water with plenty of fish for anglers of all ages...see page 13 for freshwater fish consumption guidelines. Lake Host Program…Volunteer Hosts Tom and Edie Fallon returned this year and work early am hours on weekends from May 28 to June 26. Paid Lake Hosts will work full week- end hours July 1 to August 21. As funding for this program is now based on the number of boats inspected, the added hours are helpful. Over 700 inspections were performed on 492 boats, and amazingly enough, half of those were kayaks! If you are interested in a paid or volunteer position, contact Judy Putnam at [email protected] or 603 352-1233. Loon Protection…The loon is still a ―threatened‖ species in N.H. As they are indicators of the health of our environment, protecting and respecting them can also lead to keeping our Lake healthy and clean. Please join this all important effort. Membership...It was a long winter, sad in some ways, so I encourage you to start fresh. Come to the Annual Meeting, bring a friend...it costs $10 a year and takes only a few hours of your time. You will learn what’s happening in the area and how to protect and preserve the Lake. Please contact me, John Croteau, at [email protected] or 603 352-8355. Nominating...We are looking for a Nominating Chairman...please contact Linda Braun at [email protected] or 603 424-4233 to learn about this volunteer position. Recreation and Safety…The Association no longer ―sponsors‖ sailboat races, but does en- courage you to participate in them any Sunday during the season. Contact Dave Quimby (827-3613) or Judd Dexter (827-3296) if you are interested...at the moment, the course markers will be out for two scheduled races, July 3 and Sept. 4. Stoney Beach...A lot of time was spent watering the new plantings last summer and we have Tom Chabott to thank for his kind dona- tion of the use of his hoses and generator plus the gas to run it. We certainly appreciate this assistance and thank him and Nancy for this and many years of keeping an eye on things at the boat ramp. Some of the shrubs were damaged during the winter, but most ap- pear to be doing well...this committee will continue to maintain the gardens and monitor the use of the beach. Water Quality…Based on 2010 testing by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), phosphorus levels are ideal to average although Acid Neutralizing Capac- ity (ANC) is below average, but this has been typical. Also, 12 small-mouth bass were sub- mitted for mercury testing and results were well within ―safe to consume‖ DES guidelines. Thanks to our crew. Panos Pitsas, Chet Hurd, Roger and Sandy Williams. Weed Watch…We found no evidence of milfoil or other invasive plants in 2010, but the threat is real...once an invasive species takes hold, it is almost impossible to eliminate. The Lakes with both Lake Host and Weed Watch programs seem to be better able to prevent in- festations. To help our efforts, post our weed watch card where all visitors to your cottage can see it...pay attention to the plants along your piece of the shoreline and report anything unusual to our weed watchers...if your boat visits Squam Lake or Powder Mill Pond, clean it, your trailer, fishing gear and even your shoes before making contact with Silver Lake. Milfoil spreads by seed and fragmentation, so every piece can form a new plant. We thank all of our diligent and dedicated 2010 volunteers...Polly Kendall, Mary Beth Mollica, Bob Gogolen, Beth Caldwell, Alison and Ken Jolly, Judy Putnam, Sarah Wilson, John Croteau, Jr., Den- nis Fallon, Todd Chamberlain, Wally Francis, Doz Delori, Eleanor Drury, Kay and Richard Ryan, Zach Miller and Sarah Kossayda. VOL.XL SPRING/SUMMER 2011 SLA NEWSLETTER 3 ―THE LADIES OF THE LAKES‖ Do you believe that art should be purchased as an investment for its monetary value alone, and that creating art is hard work that is done just for the sake of selling to the highest bidder? If you believe that art should be bought more for the enjoyment it brings when it is decorating your home, or that it is a wonderful occupation that brings joy and happiness to those who create and own it, then you should meet this wonderful group of talented women. Flanking Pam Dexter’s beautiful watercolor of Silver Lake are, on the left, Pam (standing) and Nancy Chabott, both of Silver Lake. Right is Jane Pitt (standing) of Stone Pond and Joy Birdsey of Granite Lake. Thus the name ―Ladies of the Lakes‖. They meet without fail every Wednesday at Jane’s home where they create, sometimes take lessons from guest artists, and truly enjoy each others company. And they’ve made a promise...when it stops being fun, it’s over...but I really don’t see that happening any time soon! When Jane dissolved her law practice in Boston in 2003 and moved to New Hampshire, she had a ―bucket list‖ that included many things, but learning to paint had high prior- ity. When out driving one day she saw a sign for a ―Tole Painting Class‖...this is the folk art of decorative painting on tin and wooden utensils, furniture and other objects. Even though she had no idea what ―tole‖ meant, she couldn’t get inside to sign up fast enough! It was there that she met Joy and the seeds of the ―Ladies‖ began to sprout and grow. Pam signed up for the same class a year later…her Dad had just passed away and she wanted to do something creative and comforting with his 350 sap buckets…and the group became a trio until Pam brought Nancy into the fold about a year later. They came and stay together not only because they have great chemistry with each other, which I witnessed first hand, but also because they share in common a genuine love of painting as well as the arts in general…water colors, tole, knitting, sewing, and dance to name just a few. Every year for the past three years they have celebrated their love of art with an invitation-only Gala, an open house on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

    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.

  • 2014 NH Partial Approval Documents
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Region 1 5 Post Office Square, Suite 100 Boston, MA 02109-3912 March 16, 2018 Eugene Forbes, P.E., Director New Hampshire Environmental Services Water Division 6 Hazen Drive, Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095 Re: 2014 §303(d) List Dear Mr. Forbes, Thank you for submitting New Hampshire's 2014 §303(d) list of water quality limited segments on March 27, 2017. In accordance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and 40 CFR §130.7, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has conducted a review of most of the State's list, including supporting documentation, with only a few waters remaining to be analyzed. Based on this review, EPA has determined that the majority of New Hampshire’s list of water quality limited segments (WQLSs) still requiring total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) meets the requirements of §303(d) of the Clean Water Act ("CWA" or "the Act") and EPA implementing regulations. However, EPA is not taking action at this time to approve or to disapprove the State’s decisions relating to certain assessment zones in the Great Bay Estuary and the State’s decisions on pH for the Upper Portsmouth Harbor, Great Bay Prohib SZ2, and Great Bay-Cond Appr assessment units. Therefore, EPA hereby approves New Hampshire’s 2014 final §303(d) list with the exception of the following: the Little Bay, Bellamy River, Upper Piscataqua River, Portsmouth Harbor, Little Harbor/Back Channel, Cocheco River and Great Bay assessment zones; and the Upper Portsmouth Harbor, Great Bay Prohib SZ2, and Great Bay-Cond Appr assessment units.

  • New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES)
    Impacts of Proposed Elimination of Lake and River Water Quality Management & Monitoring at New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) General Fund Staffing Analysis When NHDES was created in 1987, six general-funded positions conducted lake and river water quality management and monitoring. Since then, the legislature created 5 new programs to meet the need for increased water quality monitoring and management, yet general funding staffing has only increased by three full time positions. The N.H. House budget for 2012-2013 would reduce the number of general funded positions in the watershed management bureau from eight to two. Impact of Proposed Budget Reductions If the budget adopted by the N.H. House budget were to become law, effective July 1, 2011 the following 5 water quality management and monitoring programs would cease in addition to other DES program reductions. Volunteer Lake & River Assessment Programs (VLAP RSA 487:31-33 & VRAP RSA 487:38-42) In recent years VLAP and VRAP have supported 215 groups with a total of 1,500 lake, river and stream stations being monitored and over 24,000 individual sample results generated annually. Over 700 volunteers participate in these programs representing over 4,300 hours of volunteer time annually. In 2010 the value of the volunteer time was $86,000. Since 1985, volunteers have contributed over $900,000 in in-kind services. Support for and coordination of volunteer monitors, who rely on DES to supply equipment, training, and reporting, would cease. Over 40% of the surface water quality assessments of lakes and rivers included in the EPA required 2010 303(b) surface water quality report were provided by VRAP and VLAP volunteers.
