This meeting is for members of regional lake & pond associations in the Lake Sunapee Region and beyond, and anyone else who is interested in learning more about the 2025-2029 Nonpoint Source Management Program Plan. NHDES Watershed Assistance Section Supervisor and New Hampshire Nonpoint Source Management Program Coordinator, Steve Landry, will be introducing and touring the audience through the 2025-2029 NPS Management Program plan and all the programs that fall under it. The purpose of this plan is to adhere to U.S. EPA guidelines and requirements to address water quality problems caused by nonpoint source pollution which comes from many different sources that are difficult to identify and quantify. He also plans to introduce the newly revised New Hampshire Stormwater Manual, a document that serves as a non-regulatory, planning and design tool for the communities, developers, designers and members of regulatory boards, commissions, and agencies involved in stormwater programs and management in New Hampshire.
