State mapping tools and geological data highlighted as first step for town planning
Summary
The presenter recommended Stamford use the Vermont Geological Survey and the Agency of Natural Resources Atlas to create a water-resource map and locate hazardous sites, while noting town-specific hydrogeologic mapping may require grant funding or hired consultants.
State staff walked commissioners through mapping resources they can use immediately, including the Vermont Geological Survey's statewide bedrock geology and well data and the Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) Atlas for hazardous sites, wells and public-supply layers. "The Agency of Natural Resources Atlas has a wealth of information. You have all your public water systems there. You have your private wells," the presenter said, and demonstrated how Atlas layers show underground storage tanks, hazardous waste generators and closed sites.
The presenter cautioned the commission that detailed aquifer delineation specific to Stamford is not currently available from the state and would require hiring a hydrogeologist or pursuing municipal planning grant funding through the Agency of Commerce and Community Development to support a focused study.
