Regionalization of the 1987 Corps Wetland Delineation Manual will result in changes to the parameters that are required to key out and map hydric soils.

Joe Homer of the USDA - NRCS and a member of the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils presented a summary of these proposed changes at the joint NHANRS/SSSNNE workshop in January, 2009. Joe prepared a very handy condensed key to "Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, Version 6.0 for Use in Region R (includes NH)" available here for your use!

As of January, 2009 the NH Joint Board requires certified individuals to obtain their own proof of attendance at membership meetings.

Alteration of Terrain Rules Advisory Committee:

The Alteration of Terrain rules have been adopted and are effective January 1, 2009!  There are some changes made from the final proposal, including removing the antidegradation requirements, so update your copy.  The official adopted version is attached and it will be available on DES’s rulemaking page shortly: http://des.nh.gov/organization/commissioner/legal/rulemaking/index.htm#pwaterq

NH Stormwater Manual online!

Our long awaited stormwater manual is online, or at least part of it. Volumes 2 and 3 have been posted online at: http://des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/aot

Volume 1 is under revision because the antidegradation sections were removed from our rules and some text must be changed to accommodate that.
