October 17 and 24: White River Basin Plan public comment meetings
We invite you to learn more about and provide comments on clean water project priorities in the White River valley at two public meetings in October:
- Thursday, October 17 from 6:00-8:00pm at the Royalton Academy Building
- Thursday, October 24 from 6:00-8:00pm at the Bethel Town Hall
Every 5 years, the state updates the White River Tactical Basin Plan. The Basin Plan is a document that identifies water quality issues and potential solutions throughout the White River valley.
The current Basin Plan expires this year, so work has started to plan for the next 5 years. Find the White River Draft Tactical Basin Plan here and review the summary White River Draft Plan Story Map here.
We invite you to get involved in one of two ways:
- Attend one of the two public meetings detailed above to learn more about the draft Basin Plan and to provide comments
- Review the draft Basin Plan and submit comments from October 1 to October 31 to keith.fritschie@vermont.gov or to Keith Fritschie, VT DEC, 1 National Life Drive, Montpelier, VT 05620.
THANK YOU: September 8th cleanup sweeps the White River
Thank you to the volunteers who helped us remove trash in and along the White River on Sunday, September 8. Volunteers collected trash from Bethel to West Hartford, filling an 8-yard dumpster in the process…plus 50 tires on the side!
Immediately following the cleanup, 45 WRP members and volunteers joined us for a cookout to celebrate our collective work to improve the health of the White River in 2024. And we honored the Woodstock Inn & Resort Fly Fishing program as our 2024 Outstanding Watershed Partner for their many contributions to over the years!
Work continues to wrap-up the 2024 field season. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages for more information.
