What is a Comprehensive ShoreLand Assessment? (CSA)? The Comprehensive ShoreLand Assessment is an essential tool created by Ames Associates to assist in determining a waterfront property's value in terms of development, expansion or redevelopment. A waterfront property's true value is based on the ability to develop, expand or change its use in conjunction with current environmental and land use regulations.
Your land is, most likely, the largest portion of your personal wealth. Without it you would have no place to locate your home or business. To help protect this asset, you should know all you can about it. At Ames Associates, our licensed land surveyors are available to consult with you regarding your land, or land you are considering for purchase.
The State of NH commissioned a study in 2005 of the State of NH Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA), which was originally enacted in 1991. The outcome of the study resulted in changes to the CSPA that would provide greater oversight in the protection of NH?s water-related natural resources.
