Wetland Permit by Notification (PBN):
Minimum Impact Expedited Applications:
Standard Wetlands Dredge and Fill Applications:
1) Standard Dredge and Fill Wetlands Permit Application – Lincoln, 102 Echo Point Road, M 41 L24 – Applicant proposes to make necessary repairs to an existing crib supported dock (210.3sf) and necessary repairs to a section of 42 linear feet of concrete retaining wall “in-the-dry” (42 sf and 90 sf temporary impact). Utilize a temporary coffer dam pursuant to Env-Wt. 526.06(f) to perform the work in the dry. Surround work area with turbidity curtain. Minimum impact pursuant to Env-Wt. 514.07 (a) (3) and Env-wt. 526.06(f).
2) Standard Dredge and Fill Wetlands Permit Application – Timothy & Stephanie Erickson, 142 Sleeper Island , M74 L23 – The work proposed will include the replacement of the current temporary seasonal 4-foot aluminum frame dock with two 6-foot by 40-foot aluminum truss frame crank up docks. The amount of boat traffic and wave action on the property necessitate a more stable and semi-permanent docking structure. The two crank up docks will be anchored to the shore using the large glacial boulders on the shore and hinged base plate. The boulders are of such a size that a man-made concrete slab anchor is not required for our location and installation. Per discussion with contractor Ambrose Marine. The two 30-foot docks will be connected using a 6-foot by 24-foot deck platform on the shoreline to create a 12-foot side slip in between the two docks. A large rock provides a current navigational hazard therefore the docking systems will be oriented to ensure the rock resides beneath the dock to provide safe docking on the property. The docks will be lifted from the lake in the fall before ice in and lowered in the springtime after ice out on the lake.
3) Standard Dredge and Fill Wetlands Permit Application – Town of Alton, Eastside Drive, M333 L84 – The Town of Alton is proposing to replenish the sand within the public, Alton Town Beach. The existing beach is a 6,900 sq. ft. public beach located along Lake Winnipesaukee in Alton Bay. The beach has not been replenished since its installation in 2005. The Town of Alton is proposing to replenish the beach with 30 cubic yards of sand. The sand replenishment will be concentrated in areas of need, with all sand being installed above the reference line within the perched beach area.
4) Standard Dredge and Fill Wetlands Permit Application - Tarney, 162 Spring Street, M38 L9 – Request repair of previously approved 6ft X 24ft permanent dock, request a 3’ seasonal extension for total length of 27’.
