    DOE/EIS-0463 FINAL NORTHERN PASS TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT VOLUME 3: APPENDIX L U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY OFFICE OF ELECTRICITY DELIVERY AND ENERGY RELIABILITY WASHINGTON, DC AUGUST 2017 Department of Energy Washington, DC 20585 August 2017 Dear Sir/Madam: Enclosed is the final Northern Pass Transmission Line Project Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS-0463) prepared by the Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and its implementing regulations. The United States Forest Service (USFS) – White Mountain National Forest, United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – Region 1, United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) – New England District, and the New Hampshire Office of Energy and Planning (NHOEP) are cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EIS. The proposed DOE action in the final EIS is to issue a Presidential permit to the Applicant, Northern Pass LLC, to construct, operate, maintain, and connect a new electric transmission line across the U.S./Canada border in northern New Hampshire (NH). DOE has prepared this final EIS to evaluate the potential environmental impacts in the United States of the proposed action and the range of reasonable alternatives, including the No Action alternative. Under the No Action alternative, the Presidential permit would not be granted, and the proposed transmission line would not cross the U.S./Canada border. In addition to its Presidential permit application to DOE, Northern Pass LLC applied to the USFS for a special use permit that would authorize Northern Pass LCC to construct, own, operate and maintain an electric transmission line to cross portions of the White Mountain National Forest under its jurisdiction.

  • 1995 Nash Stream Forest Management Plan
    Nash Stream Forest MANAGEMENT PLAN State of New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development 1995 050 Nash Stream Forest FOREWORD The Nash Stream Forest is a unique parcel of land in Northern New Hampshire. Its acquisi- tion in 1988, through a collaborative effort between the state of New Hampshire Land Conservation Investment Program, the U.S. Forest Service, The Nature Conservancy, The Trust for New Hampshire Lands, and The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests is equally unique, and serves as a milestone in state, private and federal cooperation. The diversity of the groups represented in this effort is almost as great as the diversity of resources that exists within the Nash Stream Forest and the topography of the land itself. Yet over an eighteen-month period, representatives from each of these groups worked together, to negotiate an arrangement which all felt was in the best interest of the land and the people who use it. All of the groups involved in the purchase and future management of the Nash Stream Forest recognized the importance of protecting the Forest from development, as well as the importance of continuing to use the land in a "multiple-use" manner—for education and research, as a key watershed area, for fish and wildlife, recreation, scenic qualities, and as a sustainable timber resource. These mutual concerns led to the successful purchase of the property, the formation of a Technical Team to assist in the development of a management plan, and to a gubernatorial-appointed Advisory Committee to focus public input and pro- vide insightful advice (see page 9).

  • President's Report
    PRESIDENT’S REPORT Before he decided to step down from the presidency of the Cohos Trail Association because of an employment opportunity as a conductor with Pan Am Railroad based in southern New England, Chad Pepau penned this report for the Cohos Trail faithful: Greetings, fellow Cohos Trail enthusiast. 2015 has been quite a year for the Cohos Trail to-date with some interesting things happening. Our winter months are slow and we use this time to seek funding for a variety of different projects that we wish to accomplish during the trail maintenance and hiking season. This year, we successfully obtained three grants. The first grant received came from the Coos Economic Development Corporation in the amount of $5,000.00 to fund the production and printing of new, state-of-the-art maps spanning the entire length of the Cohos Trail. After getting estimates from three different area cartographers, TCTA has decided to work with Appalachian Mountain Club’s cartographer Larry Garland. You might be familiar with his maps if you have ever picked up a copy of the famous White Mountain Guidebook, which is complete with a map set. The Cohos Trail’s new maps will be quite similar in design. We estimate that we will have the new maps produced and ready for purchase in the spring of 2016. As you might know, our last maps were produced in 2007 and many trail changes have occurred since then, so this is a major step forward for the Cohos Trail. The second grant we received, though the funds have not yet been released, is from the Recreational Trail’s Program Grant from the State of New Hampshire in the amount of $27,555.00, requiring an additional 20% match from TCTA.
