  • DES Watershed Management and Monitoring.Budget Information
    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.

During previous years, Lake Hosts have focused on teaching boaters how to prevent the spread of unwanted plants, like variable milfoil, by showing boaters where to look for hitchhiking plant fragments on boats and trailers, removing all hitchhikers, and disposing of them properly. Since 2002, Lake Hosts have conducted more than 505,000 courtesy boat inspections and have captured 1,256 pieces of hitchhiking aquatic nuisance plants before they were able to infest another waterbody! And, by simply showing boaters how to conduct their own boat and trailer inspections when a Lake Host isn’t working at Sat. Sept. 7, 2013 ramp they visit, Lake Hosts have surely contributed to the prevention of many Lake Winnipesaukee at more aquatic nuisance species fragments from sneaking into New Hampshire’s Weirs Beach, Laconia waterbodies.
