Vermont Business Magazine The Rutland Regional Planning Commission (RRPC) is pleased to announce expanded outreach and services to municipalities and the public to enhance water quality and tactical basin planning efforts for South Lake Champlain (Basins 2 & 4).
“As Watershed Planners, we value the role regional planning commissions play given their strong ties to the municipalities. This collaboration makes our plans stronger and more tailored to the communities the plans are written to serve,” said Angie Allen of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
The work is supported through a grant provided by the DEC. Activities began this fall and will continue through July 2021.
The county planning commission will be helping the state in cataloguing existing water quality data.

âWeâve got a range of water quality work that we do with DEC, this is a subset of that,â said Barbara Noyes Pulling, a planner with the RRPC.
The commission will look through existing data and update a database the DEC maintains on water quality projects, checking whatâs been done and how others are progressing. This is to support the Vermont Clean Water Act by helping reduce the amount of phosphorus into the Otter Creek and Lower Lake Champlain watersheds.
