Potential Projects: Projects that have been identified for development in the Watershed Projects Database (WPD). Initial project development may be necessary to secure support. Projects continuously updated according to the WPD. Projects may not be screened to confirm eligibility related to adverse impacts to natural resources and permit feasibility.

Projects in Progress: Projects funded through State of Vermont agencies that are not complete as of the end of SFY 2019. Projects are reported in the 2019 Annual Performance Report, updated annually.

Completed Projects: Projects funded through State of Vermont agencies that are complete and their results are reported in the 2019 Annual Performance Report, updated annually.

Under the project listing, the “Completed SFY” will say “Ongoing”. The project listing also includes the fiscal year projects were funded under, “Funded SF.”

Data from the Project Explorer is pulled from two online databases of clean water projects: The Watershed Projects Database and the Clean Water Reporting Framework.

Data for Projects in Progress and Completed Projects is updated on an annual basis, parallel with the release of our Annual Clean Water Performance Report, released in mid-January.

Data for Potential projects is pulled directly from the Watershed Projects Database (WPD)

Only completed, implementation projects funded by the Agency of Natural Resources will display pictures in the project reports, if available.

If you notice data is incorrect or missing on an “In Progress” or a “Completed” project, please keep in mind that this information is updated on an annual basis and changes made to projects may not be reflected until the beginning of the year.

If there is incorrect data on a Potential project, please contact your basin planner. You can use the Project Screening tool found in the Clean Water Portal for contact information.

For incorrect data on projects in progress or completed projects, please email anr.cleanwatervt@vermont.gov.

No, only projects that are funded by state agencies with Best Management Practices will be represented on the project explorer. Note many agriculture projects will not show up on the Project Explorer map to protect their exact locations but are viewable in the project listing table. These projects are also updated annually.

Please feel free to contact your Basin Planner if you would like to know more about certain projects you find on the Project Explorer. You can determine who is the best contact by using our Project Screening Tool found in the Clean Water Portal.
