MEMO: November 18, 1996
TO: Dee DiFiore, AmeriCorps Program Analyst
FROM: Rick DeMark, Program Coordinator, NH RC&D Councils
RE: Description of USDA-AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps/Vista projects
in New Hampshire sponsored by the USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service and North Country and Southern NH RC&D
Councils in need of authorization to initiate a second year.
Two projects were initiated in mid November of 1995. They are the
Community Resource Assistance Fire Team (CRAFT) and the Lake
Winnipesaukee Watershed Technical Team.
Community Resource Assistance Fire Team (CRAFT) - 3 AmeriCorps
members
The North Country and Southern NH Resource Conservation and
Development Councils organized the NH Rural Fire Protection Task
Force in 1994. The Task Force, which is composed of several state,
federal and local organizations, is addressing the needs of small
towns in NH trying to provide adequate fire protection services in
an ever expanding wildland-urban interface. The Task Force has
organized a collection of technical and financial assistance
programs.
The Community Resource Assistance Fire Team was established as
an arm of the Task Force. It is composed of three individuals, one
with a background in fire protection, one with civil engineering
and the third with environmental science. CRAFT is providing
direct assistance to communities across the State to inventory,
assess, plan and construct non-pressurized water withdrawal
facilities. To date CRAFT has assisted more than 55 communities.
40 communities have completed their Water Supply Plan. Communities
have estimated that the services of CRAFT regarding the development
of the Water Supply Plan has saved them at least $10,000. Over 840
water withdrawal sites have been identified for development.
Development of sites has begun. CRAFT organized one state-wide
seminar that was attended by more than 40 communities and they are
planning more educational events. In preparation for a second
year, a mailer was delivered to the approximately 180 communities
that had still not yet obtained the services of this project.
Response was immediate and within two weeks over 30 communities had
Page 2
requested CRAFT's assistance. This project has had an important
impact in N.H. and warrants renewal. Please see related enclosed
material.
Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Technical Team - 2 AmeriCorps members
The Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Project is in it's fourth
year. The Project has several partners performing different
functions, all aimed at reducing, or preventing non-point source
pollution in this critically important Watershed area. The
Watershed Technical Team was established by the partners of the
Project to provide direct assistance to communities and individuals
in land and watershed management. The Team is composed of two
individuals with environmental and resource management skills. One
of their major goals is the creation of a Partnership between
environmental, economic and culturally oriented organizations. To
date, the Team has brought 125 such organizations into the
Partnership. The Team is working with each of the 8 towns in the
watershed to undertake at least one remediation/restoration
project. The Team worked with the town of Alton to help correct
environmental degradation problems caused by the major dam failure
in that community. Their 1996 goal is to provide direct assistance
to 500 landowners in the watershed. To date 396 individuals have
been assisted. Of those 86 report a significant decrease in an
environmental problem.
This AmeriCorps Team is responsible for getting the Lake
Winnipesaukee Watershed Project national attention at EPA's
Watershed '96 Conference and getting this project listed in the
national directory of watershed projects.
The partners involved in this project have begun to seek
alternative funding for the continuation of this initiative.
Foundation, corporate and individual support strategies have been
developed. However, this project warrants renewal as an AmeriCorps
project. Please see related enclosed material.
A third project was initiated in April of 1996.
NH COOKS, Inc. - 2 AmeriCorps/ Vista members
NH COOKS is a major effort organized to establish FDA approved
commercial kitchen services to individuals interested in creating
specialty food businesses. Underway are the development of two
micro-enterprise incubator kitchens, one in Lancaster, the other in
Epping. Through a unique partnership between USDA, NRCS, the RC&D
Councils and AmeriCorps/Vista, two Vista positions have been
created and filled to serve as kitchen coordinators. These
AmeriCorps/Vistas are assisting individuals and groups in each
region to develop their business and operate in the kitchen. There
Page 3
are more than 40 individuals at each site already preparing to use
the facilities once they become operational, by November 4, 1996.
This project has already received national attention. Several
NH communities have expressed interest in developing a kitchen
facility in their community as a way to foster micro-enterprise
development. Please see related enclosed material.
The RC&D Councils and USDA Natural Resources Conservation
Service have made commitments to continue these three programs
through 1997 and are awaiting authorization to proceed.

LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE WATERSHED PARTNERSHIP
Watershed Partnership Abstract:
The Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Parnership is "stakeholders" who live, work, and play in the
watershed working in partnership with providers of technical support like the USDA-Natural Resource
Conservation Service, AmeriCorps, NH Department of Environmental Services, UNH Cooperative
Extension, and the County Conservation Districts among others to assist in management of their
watershed. Conservation, and economic vitality need to be in balance. A watershed approach is an
essential element for achieving the balance. As we evolve, we envision a Watershed Partnership
Manager who will be implementing the task outlined over a three year period.
The purpose of the Winnipesaukee Watershed Partnership is to engage community leaders,
residents (year round and seasonal), civic, business, tourist, and environmental organizations as
Stewards of the Watershed. Together in partnership the stewards with their varied perspectives,
interests, skills, and dollars will bring and support a comprehensive overview of the strengths and
challenges facing the watershed, locally, regionally, statewide, and nationally. The partnership
provides a community based resource for communication, information, planning, protection,
education, conservation, remediation, and conflict resolution.
Project Goals:
The efforts of the Lake Winnipesaukee Partnership are to develop'a common identity as a watershed
and with this idenitity create a common voice for influencing, and supporting local, regional, and
statewide activities promoting sustainable development. This partnering of diverse interest will
explore and develop strategies, will prioitize issues, will implement and expand existing methods for
protection of the watershed. Community self-reliance and independence are part of New Hampshire's
backbone. The partnership is going one step further to join together those communities around the
Lake to collectively develop and fund the vehicle for environmental quality.
Project Tasks:
1.
A self supporting Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Council (LWWC) will be formed.
Eight forums will be held around the Lake to create and develop a watershed council. A
method to select representatives for the council will be developed from these forums. Each of
the eight communities around the Lake will have a representative on the Council.
2.
Watershed Issues will be identified and prioritized by the stakeholders.
Stakeholders in the watershed will be asked to prioritize their Lake issues. Contact will be
made using a simple survey through local lake and homeowner associations. The responses
will be correlated into a database, and a lecture series will be organized on the top five issues.
3.
A Winnipesaukee Business Alliance will be created.
An alliance of businesses will be developed to provide an economic perspective in the
watershed. The business alliance will have a representative on the council.
4.
Conservation efforts of local environmental groups around the lake will be integrated
for a comprehensive, strengthen, and harmonious approach to watershed issues.
Formalize the partnership process of collaboration with local environmental organizations to
focus on the issues identified by stakeholders. Lead roles will be establish for organizations
based on an organization's expertise for tackling identified issues.
5.
Libraries around the Lake will have expanded watershed resources.
The Partnership will utilize this existing structure to expand the literature, videos, and internet
access for information, education and resource material on water quality, watershed planning
and watershed management for non-technical readers.
6.
Stewards of the Watershed will become a recognized identity in the Lakes Region.
1
To create identifying products and logos with a pledge for stakeholders to demonstrate their
support and commitment to being a steward of the watershed. Help to educate stakeholders at
home by distribution of a "water quality report card" to complete scoring themselves on lake
friendly practices and residential nonpoint source pollution impacts. Work with USDA-
AmeriCorps members providing technical support to landowners in the watershed to increase
use of best management practices and comprehension of non point sources.
7.
Coordinate the "Celebrate Your Lakes Day" Event on Lake Winnipesaukee with the NH
Lakes Coordinator.
Proclaimed by the Governor of NH, the second Saturday in August is "Celebrate Your Lakes
Day" in New Hampshire. This year is the second celebration on Lake Winnipesaukee. The
celebration provides a mix of environmental educational, food, and entertainment. Create a
"Celebrate Your Lake Day" event packet to provide the how to information for organizations to
develop an event in their watersheds.
8.
KIDS (Kids investigating and doing science) will expand from water sampling to
include pollution prevention and remediation.
At the present time the KIDS at the middle school level learn and are actively involved in water
sampling. The curriculum will now include pollution prevention and remediation

New Hampshire COOKS/AmeriCorps VISTA:
A Cooperative Project of AmeriCorps VISTA, the New Hampshire
Resource Conservation and Development Councils and USDA/ NRCS
September 1996
The New Hampshire COOKS (NH COOKS) AmeriCorps VISTA (A*VISTA) project is a
partnership of public and private organizations¹ committed to innovative approaches to rural
economic development. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) joined with
the Corporation for National and Community Service through the Natural Resources
Conservation Service/New Hampshire and the North Country and Southern New
Hampshire Resource Conservation and Development Councils to mobilize the resources of
the A*VISTA program in support of NH COOKS. NH COOKS is an entrepreneurial
micro-business development program targeted at the food and agriculture industry. Since
arriving on the scene in April 1996, two USDA A*VISTAs have played a key role in the
organizational development of NH COOKS.
NH COOKS is a non-profit corporation organized to support micro-enterprise development
in the food industry for low to moderate income level participants. An important part of
this mission is to foster development of value-added products made from agricultural
commodities grown in the state. As a market diversification strategy, NH COOKS
entrepreneurs offer farmers a new wholesale market. The program also offers farmers the
opportunity to add processing value to their own products and subsequently to enter new
retail or wholesale food channels.
NH COOKS facilities are currently under construction in two locations. A Lancaster NH
site will serve farmers and specialty food producers in the New Hampshire's northern ticr.
A Epping NH site will service the southern part of the state. Both facilities are scheduled to
open in November, 1996. Projections predict close to 250 users of the facilities by the year
2000. Gross sales revenues generated by these new businesses could exceed $3 million.
The two USDA A*VISTAs are responsible for supporting the organizational development
of NH COOKS at the site level. Their project goals are to assist in the development of NH
COOKS entrepreneurial and food safety training programs and producer recruitment
strategies. Both A*VISTAs have met and exceeded project expectations. They have been
instrumental in bringing together staff from resource agencies with business development
expertise to put together the NH COOKS entreprencurial curriculum.
The A*VISTAs successfully organized resource agencies in support of the NH COOKS
food and equipment safety/sanitation program. Staff from these organizations assisted NH
COOKS and the A*VISTAs in developing a Food Safety and Sanitation Policies and
Procedures Operating Manual. The document outlines the food handling, hygicne,
cleaning and equipment use protocols for the NH COOKS facilities. It combines standard
food service procedures with Hazardous Areas Critical Control Point principles. All NH
COOKS clients will use these procedures in the NH COOKS kitchens. Work is now
underway with the resource providers to develop an orientation program and continuing
education training to support sanitation procedures and kitchen operations.

New Hampshire COOKS/ AmeriCorps VISTA Project Report, September 1996 page 2
The A*VISTAs are also helping ensure that NH COOKS facilities meet the production and
training needs of clients. They have met with potential users, have organized planning
meetings and will be helping NH COOKS set up local advisory support groups. To date
the A*VISTAs have personally interacted with over 200 potential users of the two facilities.
It is clear from the experience of the first six months of the project that the assistance of the
USDA A*VISTAs will be needed for a second year. Programs and procedures will need to
be adjusted to reflect actual experience. The network of organizations and agencies needed
to support NH COOKS programs and clients will require strengthening and expansion.
Assisting NH COOKS in developing the capacity to be a sustainable organization capable
of meeting user needs will be a priority objective.
In summary, the first six months of the NH COOKS A*VISTA project has focused on the
organization: developing the entrepreneurial programming, advisory groups and physical
and operational structures and procedures necessary for NH COOKS to be responsive to
the needs of aspiring micro-enterprises. With the opening of NH COOKS facilities in
Epping and Lancaster, a second year of this A*VISTA project will concentrate on the
critical task of capacity building-both for the organization and the uscrs. The A*VISTAs
will work to ensure that users are able to fully take advantage of the facilities and programs
at each site as individual businesses and as members of a collective venture. And the
project will work to ensure that the NH COOKS organization is fully capable of meeting
users needs on a continuing basis. The project is an excellent example of national service
focused on community, resource and human development.
