Dam Operating and Licensing

VNRC continues to get involved in dam permitting and licensing issues to ensure that facilities operate in a manner that comply with Vermont’s Water Quality Standards.  Dams often alter river flows and destroy habitat for fish and other aquatic species.  VNRC is now actively working on 3 dam issues in Vermont:  Four dams on the Clyde River in the Northeast Kingdom; the Peterson Dam on the Lamoille Rive in West Milton, and the Waterbury Reservoir dam on the Little River.
