Welcome to the Rivers Management Advisory Committee Website

The Rivers Management Advisory Committee advises the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) in implementing the Rivers Management and Protection Program (RMPP). Among its advisory duties, the RMAC is responsible for reviewing nominations to designate additional rivers into the RMPP and for preparing a recommendation to the NHDES Commissioner on the merits of the nomination. Another important responsibility of the RMAC is to advise NHDES on the adoption of rules for the protection of instream flow. The RMAC is also responsible for reviewing and making recommendations on plans to dispose of state-owned property along or providing access to a river.
