Commission adds South Lake Clean Water funding as action but asks for partner verification
Summary
Commissioners asked to list South Lake Clean Water Service projects as funding targets for watershed work and suggested adding NRCS and FSA as partners on water-quality bullets; staff will verify the program names and scope.
The commission discussed a water-quality action in the plan proposing to submit projects for funding through the South Lake Clean Water Service and asked staff to verify partner agencies and phrasing. One member noted surprise that the draft did not also include the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Farm Service Agency (FSA) where relevant.
A committee member read the action aloud — "Submit projects for funding through the Southlake Clean Water Service" — and asked staff to confirm whether that language accurately describes the regional service provider. Members requested that the plan explicitly reference NRCS and FSA where those programs or funds are available and to confirm whether the referenced Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation material applies to the town's watershed or to the broader Lake Champlain basin.
Staff and commissioners agreed to add concise partner bullets and to confirm program names and citations before finalizing the action list.
