  • 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).

  • Re: Request for Approval of Amendments to New Hampshire Surface Water Quality Standards
    The State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Robert R. Scott Commissioner December 13, 2019 Dennis Deziel, Regional Administrator EPA New England, Region 1 5 Post Office Square - Suite 100 Boston, MA 02109-3912 Re: Request for approval of amendments to New Hampshire Surface Water Quality Standards Dear Mr. Deziel: On January 20, 2018, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) made a 1 request to EPA to approve adopted amendments to the state's surface water quality standards • One of those amendments, regarding the dissolved oxygen (DO) saturation standard, was precipitated by a change in state law. Senate Bill (SB)127, effective September 8, 2017, amended State statutes (RSA 485-A:2, A:6 and A:8) regarding dissolved oxygen standards. NHDES submitted a request to EPA to add this amended statute to our approved state surface water quality standards per the requirements of 40 CFR § 131.6 and § 131.20(c ). This letter is to withdraw that request. Since submitting our request, NHDES and EPA Region 1 have been in detailed communication. A request for more information was sent by EPA to the state on July 3, 2019. NHDES responded to this letter on October 23, 2019, to which EPA replied on November 7, 2019. At the same time, NHDES has been in close communication with stakeholders and legislators regarding this issue. What is clear from all of these communications is that the issue of changing the DO saturation standard is much more complicated than originally thought. To this end, NHDES is working with the legislature to add more flexibility to the state's ability to set surface water quality standards for dissolved oxygen.

  • 4. Historic Resources Introduction—A Rural Community of Small Villages
    4. Historic Resources Introduction—A Rural Community of Small Villages Nottingham was historically a rural community of small villages, agricultural areas, and forest stands. Nottingham’s first land grant was awarded in 1722 to 132 “proprietors” who established by charter a town known as Nottingham. In 1766 and 1773, respectively, the communities known as Deerfield and Northwood became separate municipalities leaving Nottingham with its current boundaries. The first recorded settlement in Nottingham was established in 1724 with drawing of lots in the area now known as Nottingham Square. One of the major features of this process was the dedication of lots not only for landowners but also for a church, school and meeting house. In 1726 a large garrison was constructed as the meeting house and “community center.” The garrison style was used for protection from the indigenous Native Americans. Over the next two centuries small family farms mostly devoted to livestock began to take root along with lumbering and its associated activities including the manufacture of charcoal and the construction of saw mills. Many of these mills were constructed along streams to take advantage of water power. Homesteading, Agriculture, and Lumbering In the early 1730s there was a survey for the laying out of the remaining undivided lots in town. Often two lots were assigned a proprietor—a home lot on the Square and a second out-lying 100-acre lot several miles away. Much of the land was too rocky or steep for planting of row crops and livestock was raised in many areas. Once a landowner received a lot, enough land was cleared so that most of the family’s provisions could be grown or raised as well as enough put away for winter food for the livestock.

    New Hampshire Hydrography Dataset: Fourth Order and Higher Streams Document Overview January, 2008 This document contains a summary of fourth order and higher streams in New Hampshire, based on the 1:24,000-Scale New Hampshire Hydrography Dataset (NHHD). The NHHD is archived in the GRANIT database at Complex Systems Research Center, University of New Hampshire. Description of worksheets in this document: Summary by GNIS Name: Summarizes stream length by GNIS name (Geographic Names Information System, from the U.S. Geological Survey). Please note that multiple streams across the state may have the same name. In these cases, the GNIS ID uniquely identifies individual streams. Stream length totals are therefore based on GNIS ID. Addionally, there are occurrences where streams did not receive a GNIS name. These streams could not be uniquely identified, and therefore were summarized as a group (Unnamed Stream/River). Summary by Stream Order: Summarizes stream length by stream order. Summary by Town Name: Summarizes stream length by town name. Process Steps: Describes GIS process used to extract data required to generate these summaries.
