Protecting Unique Wetlands and Rivers through Reclassification
- Details
WRC has received funding support to work with municipalities to learn about reclassification of surface waters meeting a high level of water quality. WRC will be focusing on wetlands that meet the Class 1 criteria and rivers that are eligible for a higher level of classification. This work is supported through a grant provided by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. Activities will begin this Summer and will continue through Fall 2024. Does your town have a unique wetland or a river that is exceptional for aquatic habitat, fishing, or is used as a public water source? Reclassification might be a great tool for protecting the quality of these waters into the future.
For information on the surface water reclassification process, please contact Margo Ghia, Natural Resources Planner at 802-257-4547 ext. 116.
