Total temporary impacts: 700 sf Please submit comments by Thursday, June 16, 2016. Please notify the inspector as soon as possible if you intend to submit comments. The committee is concerned about this project; we are not in favor due to the transfer of erosive energy downstream when shoreline armoring is used to protect property. We feel DES should require further study of the hydrogeological effects of such an alteration. The committee voted to send a letter of concern, motion made by Jon, seconded by Bill, passed. VRAP We reviewed sampling sites, Janet will submit our sites to Ted. Brian asks that we get new solutions for all kits, Janet will pass along the message to Ted. Paul will be attending the VRAP training, possibly Ben St. Pierre as well. Other Business Ruth will be attending the NHDES 2016 Drinking water Source Protection Conference on Wednesday May 11 at the Grappone Center. It appears there is lots of interest in hosting the Invasive Species training. So far, Greenfield, The Monadnock Mill, Stoddard, Hidden Lake Association and Highland Lake Association are considering hosting the sessions. Janet will write a letter of support to establish the Warner River as a scenic river. Paul gave a short report of the Water’s Worth It! Legislative Breakfast. Water and wastewater infrastructure is under serious stress due to neglect. Huge investments in water systems and treatment plants are needed to continue to provide safe drinking water and responsible wastewater treatment. The committee thanked Paul for his plea to Deering to provide a representative member. The conservation committee is considering the request. Jon informed the committee about the progress of various water and wastewater related bills making way through the legislature. Thank you Jon. Greenfield is celebrating Earth Day with a town wide clean up. Bennington will sponsor a breakfast followed by hard physical labor on Earth Day. And lastly, Stoddard will be celebrating Earth Day beginning at 10:00. There being no further business before the committee, Jack motioned to adjourn at 8:46, Janet seconded, passed. Respectfully submitted, Jack Shields Secretary .

  • Chapter Xxx Development of Jaffrey As a Recreational Center
    CHAPTER XXX DEVELOPMENT OF JAFFREY AS A RECREATIONAL CENTER SUMMER BUSINESS I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it. SHAKESPEARE. Such were the sentiments of Celia when viewing the Forest of Arden as portrayed by the immortal Bard of Avon in "As You Like It"; and such have been the thoughts of the thousands of visitors who have been attracted to Jaffrey by its Monadnock Mountain, its tree-clad hills, its crystal lakes, its sparkling brooks, and its shady roads. And a goodly proportion of those who have come once to taste those pleasures have returned year after year not only to "waste time," in the words of Celia, but to renew strength and vigor of body and soul by breathing the pure air, tramping over the hills, resting in the cool woods, and bathing in the shining lakes. Neither history nor tradition tell of the beginning of Jaffrey as a pleasure resort, but more than one hundred years ago the town found it necessary to license places of refreshment for mountain visitors (see The Grand Monadnock), as appears from John Fife's advertise­ ment in the New Hampshire Sentinel of August 6, 1824: The subscriber will be ready to wait on who shall visit Monadnock this season after Tuesday next at the brook about one-half hour's walk southeast of the pin­ nacle where he is erecting a sufficient building as shelter from the sun, rain or the chills of night. Tea and coffee, with suitable meats and drinks will be provided. Horses may be left at his house on the turnpike.

  • 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).

  • 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.

Re-formatted and with corrections and additions by Robert B. Stephenson. Updated property ownership and corrections by Marc P. Tieger and H. Charles Royce. Second edition, revised and expanded 2009 Second printing of 15, September 2009 © Jaffrey Historical Society - ii - This monograph on Jaffrey roads has been published by the Jaffrey Historical Society in memory of Anne Bradley Gordon, a supporter, benefactress, and officer of the Society for many years. - iii - ACKNOWLEDGMENTS PECIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT is made to town historian Alice E. E. Lehtinen, whose monumental Scollection of biographic material in Vol. II of the History of Jaffrey provides a key to the identification of the old roads. It would be almost impossible to give an intelligible account of the roads laid out before 1850 without that information. The task is the easier today thanks to the researches of the committee appointed by the town in 1966 to survey the correct and legal names of the roads and streets in Jaffrey. The town’s official road map is based on the committee’s work. The members of the committee were Miss Lehtinen, Chairman, Professor Norman Torrey, Mr. Homer Belletete, Mrs. Marjorie Shattuck, and Town Clerk Albert Morin. In their assistance to me Mr. Morin, and Mr. Philip St. Pierre during the period when he was Town Clerk, were unfailingly helpful. Mr. Morin possesses an uncanny knowledge of town history and records. Grateful acknowledgment is made to Mr.

  • Recreational Resources
    RECREATIONAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION Recreational and community resources are important to the life and vitality of any community. In Jaffrey, the two are linked more often than not. Jaffrey is the town that is host to Southwestern New Hampshire’s name and symbol: Monadnock. Jaffrey has a direct interest and future stake in the recreational opportunities that Mount Monadnock and its environs have to offer. The Town’s devotion to recreational opportunities can be summarized through the mission statement adopted by Jaffrey’s Recreation Department, “To create and sponsor recreational opportunities for all community members, which enhance the quality of life and provide a positive and safe environment for body, mind and spirit.” Jaffrey’s 2005 Community Survey contains responses and valuable information indicative of trends on how people in Jaffrey spend their recreational time. When asked, “In what ways do you enjoy Jaffrey’s recreational opportunities?” citizen responses were as follows: Figure 11 7. In what ways do you enjoy Jaffrey's recreational opportunities? Horseback Riding 6% Camping 7% Tennis 10% Golfing 18% Cycling 20% Skiing/Snow shoeing 25% Fishing/Hunting 28% Playing/Watching at Ballfields 29% Boating/Camping 41% Sw imming 43% Hiking/Walking 68% Scenic View s 74% Other 2% No Answ er 5% The 2005 Jaffrey Community Survey also asked residents to list a total of three recreational facilities (public or private) enjoyed by their household. When compiled, the responses reveal that Mount Monadnock, the Jaffrey Public Library, Thorndike and Gilmore Ponds, and Lake Contoocook comprise the overall majority of “enjoyed recreational facilities”. Master Plan 2007 Figure 12 List 3 public or private recreational facilities, fields or places in Jaffrey that you or members of your household enjoy.
