As the successor to the Water Resources Board, the Water Resources
Panel provides a forum for meaningful citizen involvement in the
development of water resources management and wetlands protection
policies for the State of Vermont. It does so through the adoption
of state water quality standards and rules regulating, among other
things, the use of public waters, lake levels, and development and
other human impacts on significant wetlands and their protective
buffer zones. The Panel also exercises its rulemaking authority to
designate and protect significant wetlands and to designate
outstanding resource waters. All of these rules are administered or
applied by the Agency of Natural Resources
in its water-related permit programs. The Water Resources Panel does not hear appeals of Agency of Natural Resources water-related permits or other decisions, but it may participate as a party in appeals of those permits or decisions. If you want information about how to appeal an Agency of Natural Resources water-related permit or decision, please visit the Environmental Court’s web site. |
