5. The applicant has coordinated the project utilizing the monthly Natural Resource Agency meeting held at the NHDOT.

6. At that meeting the intent was to install a 64 in. cured in place liner but subsequent information found culvert joints were separated

and the plan was modified to the 59 in. polyethylene liner.

7. Drainage calculations submitted with the application show there is not a significant change in hydraulics.

8. A review of the project relative to impaired waters finds that most work is temporary, will have no additional loading or change in

use and best management practices are required in the conditions of approval, therefore there should be no additional impact to

impaired waters.

With Findings:

1. The existing non-conforming structure is located within the 50 ft primary building setback to Squam Lake and, therefore, fails to

conform to the setback restriction set forth in RSA 483-B:9, II, of the CSPA.

2. In accordance with RSA 483-B:11, II, the commissioner shall review proposals which are more nearly conforming than the

existing structures, and may waive some of the standards specified in RSA 483-B:9, so long as there is at least the same degree of

protection provided to the public waters and the proposal is "more nearly conforming."

3. The project as proposed would result in an additional 192 sq ft of impervious surface area.


4. The applicant has proposed to enhance the waterfront buffer with native blueberry plantings and install drip line trenches to

infiltrate storm water runoff and therefore, meets the requirements for a waiver to RSA 483-B:9 as described in RSA 483-B: 11, I.
