Description: The process of classifying New Hampshire surface waters began in 1948 when the Water Pollution Commission (which is now the Water Division of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services) held hearings and petitioned the State Legislature to classify the Ammonoosuc River. Classification of surface waters is now accomplished by state legislation under the authority of RSA 485-A:9 and RSA 485-A:10. Prior to 1991, there were three classifications, A, B and C which had the following general meanings:Class A - These are generally of the highest quality and are considered potentially usable for water supply after adequate treatment. Discharge of sewage or wastes is prohibited to waters of this classification.Class B - Of the second highest quality, these waters are considered acceptable for fishing, swimming and other recreational purposes, and, after adequate treatment, for use as water supplies. Class C - These waters were the third highest category and were considered adequate for fishing, boating, and certain industrial uses. As discussed below, the state upgraded all Class C waters to Class B in 1991.During the 1991 session of the General Court, a significant legislative event occurred when HB 560-FN was passed which reclassified and upgraded all remaining Class C waters to Class B. When this bill was signed into law and became effective on August 31, 1991, a new State goal was established to have all the surface waters of the State achieve the fishable/swimmable goals of the Clean Water Act. Therefore, as of 1991, all State surface waters are either Class A or Class B with the majority of waters being Class B. Since passage of HB 560 in 1991, few waterbodies have been reclassified.Legislative classification text resides in annual chapter law of the last 50 plus years. The purpose of this document is to provide a single source reference showing the legislative classifications of surface waters (i.e., A or B) and the statutory basis for the classifications In addition to this document, a Geographical Information System (GIS) coverage has been produced with geo-spatial features linked to the chapter law text.
