| Suncook River Geomorphology-based Restoration Alternatives Study Documents
To better understand the avulsion and the appropriate response to this unusual event, the Town of Epsom has undertaken a study of the avulsion with funding from the NH Department of Environmental Services and the Friends of the Suncook River. The study seeks to conduct a detailed survey of the river, develop potential solutions to address the flooding and sedimentation issues related to the avulsion, and to evaluate each alternative using criteria such as cost, constructability, property impacts, etc. The study is a tool that will help the Town and the State select the proper course of action for the restoration and/or stabilization of the river. A draft version of the report has been issued for public review. Public Informational Meeting Meeting Announcement:
