Resumen

This Chapter of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes concerns dams, mills, and flowage. It declares that there is a statewide need for conservation and control of water in streams, rivers, lakes and ponds by the repair of dams now in disrepair, the construction of new dams, the construction of hydro-energy production facilities as defined in RSA 481:2, IV, and stream clearance and channel improvement. These actions are needed for the regulation of the water levels of lakes and ponds, the flow of water for fire prevention, protection to lessen flood damage, the enhancement of public safety, the improvement of recreational facilities within the state, and for any similar public purpose. More specifically, it provides for erection and inspection of dams; flowage; repairs of mills and milldams; application for permit before flowing; petition for assessment of damages if the land shall be overflowed, drained or otherwise injured by the use of any dam or addition to such dam; license to flow public lands; dams in disrepair and channel improvement; acquisition by state of certain dams and water rights; dam maintenance fund; dams in disrepair; acquisition by municipality; soil conservation district projects; lake levels investigation and proceedings; and stream and lake gauging.
