Please join us for Water Matters: A Conversation about Protecting the Water Commons in the Champlain Valley
March 31, 2016
Hinesburg Town Hall, 7 PM
Refreshments ServedOn March 31st, with the help of expert panelists and moderator, attendees will consider how well the health of Lake Champlain is being protected, as well as the streams and wetlands in growing Vermont towns. Additionally, we will learn what type of development triggers current regulatory review and how these regulations provide for surface water protection.
With a focus on the LaPlatte watershed, streams and Lake Champlain, panelists will identify what each town may consider doing to ensure that healthy stream corridors move clean water through the Hinesburg hills and village, and through Charlotte and Shelburne, to Shelburne Bay and Lake Champlain.
Lewis Creek Association will showcase its new surface water conditions map prepared by Milone and McBroom, which outlines conditions for LaPlatte watershed towns under current regulations.
The panel of guest speakers for the evening will include: Jessica Louisos, of the South Burlington Planning Commission and Milone and McBroom; Karen Purinton, Colchester Town Planning Office; Tony Stout, Lakeside Environmental; and Andres Torizzo, Watershed Consulting Associates. Marty Illick, of Lewis Creek Association and South Chittenden River Watch will moderate.
As a follow-up to the evening, all are invited to a free showing of the film “What’s Your Watermark?” on Thursday, April 7th at 7:00 pm, at the Carpenter-Carse Library in Hinesburg.
Sponsors for both events include Lake Champlain Basin Program, Lewis Creek Association, Mount Mansfield Media, New England Grassroots Environment Fund, Responsible Growth Hinesburg, and South Chittenden River Watch. http://www.lewiscreek.org This event is free and open to the public.
