MAP's Assessment and Listing Process is driven by Vermont's State Water Quality Standards. In 2017, DEC completed a review and update of the Vermont Water Quality Standards. A triennial review of state water quality standards is required by the Clean Water Act. DEC is conducting pre-rulemaking outreach for the 2021 triennial review.
