The Cold River was the subject of a Protected Instream Flow Study Report between 2020 and 2021. On January 25, 2022, NHDES’ Commissioner established the protected instream flow values included in the report as water quality standards, in accordance with Administrative Rule Env-Wq 1904. The draft Cold River Instream Flow Water Management Plan Report and appendices are now available for public review. An informational session will be held June 5, 2024, to preview the report. A public hearing will be held June 20, 2024, to receive comments on the report. Both meetings will start at 6:00 PM at the Alstead town hall at 9 Main Street, Alstead, NH. Public comments will be taken from June 20 through July 22 at 4:00 PM.
Assuming adequate wifi connection at the town hall, a virtual attendance option is available through Microsoft Teams:
