2026-11-03

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department ( NHFG ) has been selected to receive funding from the NH Charitable Foundation Great Bay 2030 program ( Great Bay 2030 ) to procure engineering services to develop solutions to address fish passage insufficiencies at the Winnicut River Fishway in Greenland , NH ( see appendix ). The goal of this initial phase is to produce a package of design and permitting documents in coordination with a Technical Advisory Committee ( TAC ) to position the project to be shovelready by 2028 . The TAC is comprised of : • NHFG will be leading the project as the owner of the Fishway and surrounding property . Additionally , NHFG will provide technical expertise for all tasks and will lead grant reporting • The NH Department of Environmental Services ( NHDES ), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), and US Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS ) will provide technical expertise related to fish passage and state and federal permitting • The NH Department of Transportation ( NHDOT ) will provide technical expertise related to adjacent transportation infrastructure as well as data from recent hydraulic study and topographic and bathymetric survey • The Town of Greenland will serve as a community representative to assist with decision making regarding potential impacts to town residents and / or the broader community Deliverables will include site - specific hydraulic modeling , a transparent alternatives analysis , conceptual and final engineering designs , complete state and federal permitting packages , and a comprehensive technical report . Success will be measured by delivery of final stamped designs , securing all necessary permits , and establishing a durable interagency and community - supported decision - making framework .
