Neighbors, if you haven't yet gotten up to speed on our tri-town LaPlatte watershed concerns, this is an excellent opportunity to do so.
The Chittenden Regional Planning Commission, Lewis Creek
Association and Responsible Growth Hinesburg are teaming up to raise
awareness of water issues in the LaPlatte River watershed region.
Your participation would be wonderful.
*Water Matters* *Part 4 *
Thursday, March 30, 2017
Hinesburg Town Hall
7:00-9:00 PM
Members of Conservation Commissions, Selectboards, Planning Commissions and
community members in the three LaPlatte Watershed towns of Hinesburg,
Charlotte, and Shelburne, as well as all neighboring towns, are invited to
attend. Please come if you are interested to learn more or help manage
stormwater for improved local water quality, and ultimately a cleaner Lake
Champlain.
Charlie Baker from Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission will
emcee the event and report on the LCA CCRPC Leahy Summit project.
Neil Kamman from the Department of Environmental Conservation will present
the State’s brand new online “Clean Water Roadmap”. This is Vermont's new
tool designed to track progress in water quality improvement using best
available computer modeling information.
Krista Hoffsis, Lewis Creek Association and South Chittenden River Watch
Program Coordinator, will present the LaPlatte region water quality
scorecard, a map tool depicting the actual monitoring results of stream
pollution in Shelburne, Hinesburg and Charlotte. Stream sampling work is
provided by South Chittenden River Watch citizen volunteers with financial
support from VT DEC, Shelburne and Charlotte..
Finally, we will learn about Lewis Creek Association’s *Ahead of the Storm*
program (AOTS), which hosts water quality improvement locations around the
watershed to showcase new water quality improvement practice designs. With
funding support from the Lake Champlain Basin Program and LCA, nine AOTS
sites were identified on the CVU campus by consulting engineers at Milone
and MacBroom working with CVU student scientists. We will hear from CVU
students and learn about CVU’s specific water quality improvement designs
as well as their implementation, and long-term stewardship plans.
At 8:30 we will enjoy dessert and conversation before the evening ends.
Please save the date!
