RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) - Water quality in the southern Lake Champlain basin will be the focus of upcoming public hearings in Pawlet and Orwell.
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources has drafted a water quality management plan for surface waters in the basin, including the Poultney and Mettowee rivers, East Creek and several other tributaries that drain into the southern part of the lake.
Hearings have been set for 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the Pawlet Public Library and for 6:30 on April 15 at the Orwell Free Library.
The sessions will include a presentation on the draft plan and time for public comments and suggestions.
