The Vermont Clean Water Initiative Annual Performance Report summarizes the State of Vermont’s clean water efforts and demonstrates how investments are making a difference in water quality of Vermont’s rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Collectively, state and federal funding programs and regulatory programs drive clean water efforts. The State of Vermont coordinates across agencies to track these efforts and monitor progress. The report includes a summary of the state’s progress implementing the Phosphorus Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for Vermont Segments of Lake Champlain, which identifies phosphorus pollution reductions necessary for Lake Champlain to meet water quality standards.

This is a required final deliverable for all Clean Water Initiative Program block grants. This Excel file replaces the Final Performance Report for block grants and includes the Stormwater Best Management Practice Report and the Riparian Buffer Planting BMP Report. Please enter each design and implementation project with a WPD ID as its own row in this file. All projects should already have been entered to the Watershed Projects Database via the Batch Import File or ANR Online New Project Form.
