The Council on Resources and Development (CORD) will hold a public meeting to accept written and oral comments concerning the following:

 

Wiggin Conservation Easement / Squamscott Road Culverts,

Stratham, NH

 

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) requests permission from CORD in accordance with RSA 162-C:6 to modify the terms of an existing conservation easement to allow for construction related disturbances. NHDOT, in conjunction with the Nature Conservancy (TNC), the NH Department of Environmental Services Coastal Office, and CMA Engineers Inc., propose to replace two existing 18” diameter concrete tidal culverts on Squamscott Road between Route 108 and Chisholm Farm Drive in Stratham. The culverts are adjacent to the Wiggin LCIP conservation easement assigned to NH Fish and Game. The project involves placing permanent and temporary easements on both sides of Squamscott Road, including on the Wiggin LCIP parcel to the north. Work on the LCIP parcel includes temporary and minor permanent impacts due to construction activities.
