Development of a local river corridor management plan, mandated by RSA 483:10 is one of the primary duties of a LAC. These plans are intended to identify watershed management and protection measures that if implemented will sustain the outstanding characteristics and instream public uses of the river. These plans are developed, with collaboration and technical assistance from the state, with a focus on coordinating local activities, and they are authorized by RSA 483:8-a, III (c) to be adopted as part of a community’s master plan. RSA 483:10 also states that state agencies must collaborate with and assist the rivers coordinator and the LACs in the development and implementation of river corridor management plans.
