The last approved 303(d) List was prepared by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) in 2010. A draft of the 2012 Section 303(d) List of impaired waters was issued for public comment on April 20, 2012. Downloadable copies of the final list are available on the DES website for review (http://des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/wmb/swqa/index.htm ). This document provides a list of all the changes that were made to the 2012 303(d) between the release of the draft list for public comment and the final 303(d) submitted to EPA for approval.

  • 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).

  • Chapter Eight
    Chapter 8: TRANSPORTATION Almost all of the transportation in Ossipee involves automobiles, therefore the network of roads is very important. State highway Route 16 goes north and south the entire length of Ossipee. There are three important intersections: West Ossipee, at the intersection of Route 16 and 25 West, in Center Ossipee, the intersection with Route 25E, and in Ossipee, the intersection of Route 16 and 28. Route 16 is also used extensively by people traveling to other parts of the state. These are often tourists or vacationers who stop for travel necessities like food and gasoline. The easy access has fostered commercial development of businesses and small industries. Other parts of the route are scenic and undeveloped. Although much of Route 16 is zoned Commercial and Roadside Commercial or Commercial Node, most residents of Ossipee want this entrance to Ossipee to be rural and attractive. The increasing amount of traffic and the need to keep the traffic flowing are factors to be considered. Recent attempts to keep the number of accidents down include the installation of traffic lights at the intersections of Route 16 and 25W and Route 16 and Route 28. The establishment of the Corridor Zone is intended to keep low volume traffic businesses along the highway, and high traffic businesses like fast food restaurants at the intersections. Another attempt to keep traffic moving, emphasized in the NH Route 16 Corridor Study, was the need to limit the number of accesses onto the highway. The intention is to encourage the creation of shared access roads to and from the highway, instead of multiple separate driveways, so that several places use the same access.

  • 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.
