Lake Champlain Basin Phosphorus Clean Water Act TMDL Public Meeting
August 27, 2015, 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Fox Room, Rutland Free Library, 10 Court St., Rutland

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State of Vermont are holding a series of public meetings in August to discuss new pollution reduction targets - often referred to as a TMDL - to prevent pollution from flowing into Lake Champlain and its tributaries. The meetings will be moderated by the Lake Champlain Basin Program. One of the sessions will be in Rutland. All interested persons are encouraged to participate.

These meetings will allow the EPA to present the Lake Champlain phosphorus reduction plan called a “Total Maximum Daily Load” (TMDL) that will place a cap on the maximum amount of phosphorous that is allowed to enter the Lake and still meet Vermont’s water quality standards. EPA anticipates releasing the TMDL by August 14, which will begin a 30-day public comment period.
