COFFIN POND

August 10, 2026

The meeting with NHDES went well and the engineer is making several modifications on the dam plans. The engineer James McMahon has since met on site again with Chris Ellms and Larry and Judy Sawyer from SHCC. Last Thursday Chris Ellms attended the CORE presentation in Concord by NH Fish & Game for the transfer of the property to the Town of Sugar Hill. All appears to be moving forward and there will be another meeting in Concord in September 14th. Executive Councilor Karen Liot Hill attended the meeting as well and spoke on behalf of the Town. Next step is once the plan is finalized figuring out the cost to rebuild the dam. The town appreciates the assistance of residents and friends of Coffin Pond to move this project closer to the finish line.

The Town of Sugar Hill Supervisors of the Checklist will meet on the following date(s) at the Carolina Crapo Building, 1411 Route 117 in Sugar Hill, NH.

NHE911 C.A.R.E.S. Program

The NHE911 Office is reaching out to share information about the New Hampshire 911 C.A.R.E.S. Program. The Citizen Assistance Registry for Emergency Services program allows individuals to register medical conditions along with other important information that can impact the 911 call under their phone number. When911 receives a phone call from a registered telephone number of a C.A.R.E.S. Individual, the medical condition(s), home address, and other information submitted by the account holder is displayed on the 911 telecommunicator’s computer screen and can be shared with first responders so they can have a better understanding of the emergency before they even arrive on scene.

Attached is the 911 C.A.R.E.S. brochure, which we are sharing with residents through the town website, and newsletter. New Hampshire 911 CARES Brochure

This work will be taking place within the existing right-of-way (power line corridor) of the X178 Line, a 115kV transmission line.
This transmission line is 49 miles long and is located between the Beebe River Substation in Campton and the Whitefield Substation in Whitefield, N.H. In total, 470 wooden H-frame structures will be replaced, and new conductor (power line) and fiber optic cable, known as Optical Ground Wire (OPGW), will be installed the length of the line. The project also includes replacing poles along the Streeter Pond Tap, a 225-foot-long power line that connects the U199 transmission line to the X178 line in Sugar Hill.
