This river basin water quality management plan provides an overview of the Winooski River Basin's surface waters and a description of ongoing and future steps to restore and protect those waters. With the purpose of improving both water quality and aquatic habitat, this plan includes strategies developed with the help of local watershed residents, stakeholders from varying interests, the Agency of Natural Resources (VANR) and professionals from other state and federal agencies to guide efforts in the basin over the next five years. The strategies will also assist individuals and groups in identifying resources and opportunities to address water quality issues. A copy of the plan can be found at:
