Silver Lake Watershed Management Plan
Primary tabs
The Town of Hollis is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from interested consulting firms to develop a Watershed-based Management Plan (WBP) for the Silver Lake watershed located in Hillsborough County in the central southern region of New Hampshire. The Watershed-based Management Plan shall meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements for nine-element (a–i) Watershed-based Management Plans. Silver Lake has experienced increased harmful algal bloom events in recent years, resulting in beach and recreational notices or closures on Silver Lake.
Development of an EPA nine key element (‘a-i’) Watershed-based Management Plan for Silver Lake Watershed will assess the health of the waters in Silver Lake, identifying sources of pollutants and providing a roadmap for mitigation and protection efforts in the future. The Plan will address external and internal phosphorus loading to Silver Lake and the sub-watersheds by developing a Management Plan that identifies the sources and the necessary steps to reduce loading from each sub-watersheds within Silver Lake Watershed.
