The campground has been the setting for countless foundational outdoor experiences and the backdrop for generations of fond memories for families and friends. However, major infrastructure components are falling into significant disrepair; especially the water and road systems and the existing toilet buildings (only one of which is universally accessible). Additionally, there is a question whether Dolly Copp is providing a variety of amenities that are expected and appreci- ated by today’s campers but that still align with the traditional character of the campground. This Environmental Assessment describes our proposal to address this situation. It explains what we propose to do, why we propose to do it, what alternatives we considered, and the effects of each alternative on the social, physical, and biological environment. 1.2 Project Location and Background The Dolly Copp Campground Rehabilitation Project is located on the Androscoggin Ranger District of the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF). The project is located within Coos County, in the unincorporated Township of Martin’s Location, approximately five miles south of Gorham, New Hampshire on New Hampshire Route 16 (See Map 1).

The history of the project area, summarized here, is described in greater detail in Chew (2004) and Jordan (2004). The main campground road was granted to Daniel Pinkham for the building of a road from Jackson to Randolph in 1824, and this road was a state highway until the 1950s. The area was first settled by Euro- American farmers, including the Copp family, in the 1830s, and acquired by the US Forest Service in 1915. Camping subsequently began on the east side of the Peabody River, at the current Dolly Copp picnic area. As the national trend for auto-camping spread during the late 1910s and early 1920s, camping gradually expanded across the river to the present campground, taking advantage of the abandoned fields and pastures of the Copp, Culhane, and Barnes farms. Much of the camp- ground’s infrastructure (toilets, running water, waste disposal, and a swimming pool) was developed during the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, including the construction of the large log visitor’s center/adminis- tration building. The campground continued to expand throughout the twentieth century with additional camp- ground loops and infrastructure, particularly in the 1960s when the gatehouse and lavatory buildings with electricity and flush toilets were first installed. The size, shape, and character of the campground have evolved over time as public demand for services and social and economic influences changed. The site has always catered to a variety of camping styles, including tent, trailer, and later, larger Recreational Vehicles (RVs). At one time a swimming pool with life- guard was available, and until recently a totem pole stood alongside one loop. The site is now a mix of open, grassy areas and hardwood and softwood stands. The Peabody River flows along the east side of the site parallel to the main inte- rior road, and Culhane Brook divides the campground roughly into northern and southern sections. The western side of the main road offers wooded, well- screened sites very suitable for tenting. The eastern side is more open and level and is a natural location for larger trailers and RVs and a place where multiple adjacent sites may be occupied by families and friends. A detailed description of the campground facilities is provided in the Existing Condition section below. 1.3 Proposed Action This project proposes comprehensive rehabilitation of Dolly Copp Campground. The project would: • Reconstruct failing water and wastewater systems. • Reconstruct and realign the paved road system including the replacement of one bridge, multiple culverts, and the widening of some areas to accom- modate safe navigation of larger recreational and emergency vehicles. 6 Dolly Copp Campground Rehabilitation Project — Environmental Assessment • Install pedestal service hookups within at least three campground loops and realign and widen certain sections of these roads to allow for vehicle maneuverability. • Install one sanitary dump station; repair and upgrade nine toilet buildings and convert three toilet buildings to add shower facilities. • Repair and improve certain campsites and minor constructed features such as water pedestals and kiosks. • Construct five to ten campsites to accommodate District volunteers. • Address deferred maintenance at the seasonal quarters building. • Realign the gatehouse entry area to ease congestion and improve visitor access and traffic flow. A more detailed description of the proposed action is available in Chapter 2. 1.4 Purpose of and Need for Action The purpose of the action is to provide high-quality developed camping oppor- tunities in a scenic and historic location. The need for action is driven by the poor and failing condition of the water and wastewater systems, toilet buildings, and roads; the lack of services many visi- tors find desirable; and the opportunity to provide amenities to support and improve overall District operations. Existing Condition Dolly Copp Campground provides a variety of camping experiences and is popular with a wide range of users. It accommodates areas of high develop- ment while still offering rustic camping opportunities. The depth of history embodied in this landscape, both as

  • Natural Resources 1
    CHAPTER 5 CHAPTER 5 NATURAL RESOURCES 1. Introduction Conway enjoys an abundance of environmental features and natural resources which contributes to the high quality of life associated with the town. Arguably the prime attraction for year-round and seasonal residents, as well as tourists visiting Conway, is the abundance and access to the varied natural environment. Despite having urbanized nodes contained within the villages, as well as the Route 16 highway corridor (also known as “the strip”), much of the town’s landscape can be classified as rural in character. Planning based on natural features is motivated by the desire to conserve and protect important areas, but also by the belief that development of any kind can best be located, with less present expense and future problems, if based on an understanding of natural constraints. This chapter of the master plan examines natural features located in the town of Conway. Inventory and analysis is provided for water resources, hazardous materials and contaminated sites, floodplains, soils, wetlands, protected and conservation lands, and forest resources. In order to provide data and information for this chapter, three principle methods were used. The first consisted of an analysis of existing sources of natural resource literature pertaining to Conway and/or the Mount Washington Valley region. Two primary sources of information used for this analysis included Scoping Report: New Hampshire Route 16 and U.S. Route 302[1] and Conway Natural Resources Inventory[2]. These studies represented the most current inventories of natural resources in Conway completed since 1990. The second method consisted of natural resources map layers provided by the University of New Hampshire Complex Systems Research Center, the Town of Conway, the U.S.

  • Lincoln History
    LINCOLN HISTORY 1764 Governor Benning Wentworth, the royal Governor of the Province of New Hampshire, granted 24,000 acres of land to James Avery of Norwich, Connecticut, and 64 of his relatives and friends. The Lincoln Charter was signed on January 31, 1764. Lincoln was named after Henry Fiennes Pelham-Clinton, 2nd Duke of Newcastle, 9th Earl of Lincoln, a Wentworth cousin. On the same day, Governor Wentworth signed a similar charter granting the adjoining town of Landaff to Avery and others. Avery and his associates made large investments in New Hampshire lands grants. However, none of the grantees ever lived in Lincoln let alone fulfill the conditions of the Charter which required that 5 of every 50 acres be cultivated within 5 years (1769). 1772 Governor John Wentworth declared the Lincoln Charter forfeited and re-granted Lincoln, along with most of Franconia, to Sir Francis Bernard and others. The name of this new township was Morristown, in honor of one of the grantees. 1774 Nathan Kinsman of Concord, N.H., a hatter and physician, bought 400 acres of land from William Broughton of Fairlee, VT, who had acquired the rights from one of the original grantees of Morristown. The cost was 60 pounds. 1782 Nathan Kinsman and his wife Mercy (Wheeler) moved to Lincoln, then called Morristown. He was joined by Nathan and Amos Wheeler and John and Thomas Hatch. According to the Federal Census of 1790, these 5 families, 22 inhabitants total, comprised the total population of Morristown. The area in which they settled was known as Lincoln Gore under the western slopes of the mountain to which Nathan gave his name.

  • Chapter 4 Transportation
    Chapter 4 Transportation Chapter 4 Transportation 1.0 INTRODUCTION Gorham’s transportation system is an important component of the quality of life and economic vitality of the community and the region. This is evident in Gorham’s regulation of land use and in its investments in the expansion of its infrastructure, both of which play an important role in the evolution of development patterns. Therefore, attention must be given to the impact that public policies have on the interconnected land use and transportation systems. This chapter provides guidance, context, and recommendations for addressing current and future transportation needs. To be consistent with the community’s vision, the goal in this section is to strive to meet all of the various transportation needs, while still maintaining and enhancing the environment and quality of life of Gorham. The transportation infrastructure must be designed to serve local needs, must be compatible with local land use and community character, while also accommodating regional transportation needs. Gorham has a number of transportation systems operating within its borders. While dominated by the automobile, much of the downtown is conducive to walking and bicycling. Residents’ and visitors’ inter-regional transportation needs are served by automobiles and Route 16 South – Gorham, New Hampshire limited bus service. U.S. Route 2 passes through the center of Gorham and serves most of the local traffic in the community, but it is also a major truck transportation route between Canada and the Atlantic seaboard. Downtown traffic is often considered intrusive and, at times, congested. This is due to several contributing factors: the Town is an employment center; there are currently few alternatives to the automobile for addressing the transportation needs of local residents or visitors; and Gorham's limited local road network is also part of the commuting and commerce system for the region.

  • Citizen Participation, Transportation Corridor Planning and The
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Michele Lee Craig for the Degree of Doctorate of Education in Learning, Leadership and Community Presented on October 12, 2011 Title: Citizen Participation, Transportation Corridor Planning and the Intersection with Land Use Planning in New Hampshire Communities: What are the Best Practices? Abstract Approved: ________________________________________________________________________ Kathleen Norris, Dissertation Committee Chair This research tested thirteen Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) principles, as outlined in Stamatiadis et al (2009). Principles were tested with two New Hampshire corridor planning processes: Route 16 and I-93/CTAP. Through content analysis, web surveys and interviews, a determination was made regarding whether the two projects utilized the principles, and to what extent in the data sources. Both projects demonstrated evidence in at least two data sources for eleven of thirteen principles. However, participants had very different perceptions of how these principles were implemented. This study provides groundwork for the development of a checklist that can be used in corridor planning processes, to ensure these processes are collaborative and incorporate the needs and values of stakeholders and the broader public. ©Copyright by Michele Lee Craig December 2011 All Rights Reserved Citizen Participation, Transportation Corridor Planning and the Intersection with Land Use Planning in New Hampshire Communities: What are the Best Practices?
