Update of Washington County Projects Included in the Agency of Natural
Resources Watershed Projects Database
Montpelier, VT – The Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission (CVRPC) received grant funding from the Water Quality Division of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) via a 604b grant administered by the Rutland Regional Planning Commission. Formed in 1967, the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission (CVRPC) works with and for twenty-three municipalities in Central Vermont, including 20 municipalities in Washington County and 3 in Orange County. CVRPC’s mission is to assist member municipalities in providing effective local government and to work cooperatively with them to address regional issues. CVRPC works with area non-profits, regional organizations, and State and Federal agencies to implement a variety of projects and programs tailored to local and regional needs, and complete projects of statewide importance and interest.
CVRPC used the 604b grant funding to review sector-based assessments (e.g. Stormwater Master Plans) to ensure projects identified through the assessment process are both included and accurately represented in the Watershed Projects Database. CVRPC conducted this project to benefit a variety of stakeholders including the municipalities served by the CVRPC, watershed and land conservation groups, the Agency of Natural Resources, the Winooski Natural Resources Conservation District and the Winooski Clean Water Service Provider / Basin Water Quality Council.
CVRPC staff reviewed all of the Stormwater Master Plans and Stormwater Infrastructure Map Reports (39 plans and reports in total) for the 20 Washington County municipalities served by CVRPC and identified 57 projects not included in the Watershed Projects Database and 28 projects with discrepancies between the report information and the Watershed Projects Database entry. Updating the Watershed Projects Database with the most current, complete and accurate stormwater project information is critical for advancing statewide stormwater and nutrient management goals. Project findings will be shared with stakeholders for their review. Information gleaned during this outreach effort (e.g. project was advanced with other funds and the database record needs to be updated) will help with the tactical basin planning process and serve as a useful tool for identifying projects for advancement through the Basin 8 Clean Water Service Provider Formula Grant and / or Water Quality Enhancement Grants.
