COFFIN POND UPDATE
The Town was advised Wednesday March 18th by NHDES that the Coffin Pond Dam is in failure. Workers from NHDES and the Dam Bureau have drained the pond and removed the dam. The town was not allowed to intervene and stop the process. The town has every intention of seeing a new dam in place and Coffin Pond filled back up for all to enjoy. Unfortunately this will be a process that includes the Town of Sugar Hill, Sugar Hill Conservation Commission, NHDES Engineers, NH DAM Bureau, NH Fish & Game, and our town engineer. The next step will be a meeting with the above mentioned groups the week of April 20th and hopefully a plan moving forward that can be approved and built sooner than later. It is our intention to keep all updated as this process moves forward as we know our residents are invested in a positive outcome for Coffin Pond.
ROAD BANS ARE ON UNTIL APRIL 17TH.

Last year our volunteers cleaned more roads than ever! Feedback from participants confirms that being able to pick a convenient time and day to do the cleanup is better than setting a specific day so we will continue with this policy. We also appreciate that residents have “adopted “ roads and are keeping them clean all year.
Blue bags and safety vests are located in the Crapo Building. Please always use gloves when picking any trash. A safety sheet supplied by our Town Police Department is available and should be read prior to any picking. When in doubt, leave it alone and notify a member of the Conservation Commission or other Town Official.
A sign up sheet is posted on the bulletin board in the Crapo Building or contact the Commission via email at conservationcommision@sugarhillnh.org and we will sign you up.
Please wear bright clothing, pick only during daytime and try not to pick on rainy days.
Families with children must be careful of traffic at all times. Families should concentrate their picking on secondary roads only.
For safety reasons we ask that you do not separate the trash, anything found should go into the blue bags. The blue bags can be disposed of at the Transfer Station or you can contact the Conservation Commission via email at conservationcommision@sugarhillnh.org. and leave us the location and number of bags and we will arrange pick up.
We have already had commitments for the following roads: Easton, Dyke, Hadley, Route 117 and 18. Don’t worry, that leaves plenty of opportunities!
Thank you helping us keep the newest town in New Hampshire the most beautiful
