Welcome to the
Welcome to the Clean and Clear Action Plan website! There has been a lot of discussion about the need to improve and protect waterways throughout Vermont. We are now taking more decisive action. In the fall of 2003, on the shores of Lake Champlain, I unveiled the details of my Clean & Clear Water Plan – one of the most significant water quality initiatives Vermont has ever undertaken. This plan focuses on providing leadership,
financial resources and a sustained commitment to ensure that
we meet the high water quality standards for which Vermont is
known. That’s why we’re working with our
friends in New York and Quebec to reduce the amount of phosphorus
that goes into the lake. On this website you’ll find information about state and federal programs for phosphorus reduction and suggestions on how to reduce the run off from your own home or business while conserving water and money! You’ll also find links to our partners who are working hard to make Lake Champlain and all of our waterways Clean and Clear. Every child deserves to grow up with water that is pure to drink, lakes that are safe for swimming, and rivers that are teeming with fish. This plan is about more than the precious natural resources of our lakes, rivers and streams. It’s about our way of life This is no easy task, but together we will invest in our natural resources for the benefit of future generations. Sincerely, Jim Douglas Remarks
of Governor James H. Douglas |

September
2008 - RFP for Pre-proposals for the Ecosystem
Restoration Grants - As part of the State Clean
and Clear Program to reduce phosphorus and sediment pollution
discharged into the state’s waters, the fiscal 2009
state budget includes capital funds to support ecosystem
restoration projects. With these funds the Vermont Center
for Clean and Clear (CCC) has established an Ecosystem Restoration
Program. At this time, the CCC is seeking one-page
project pre-proposals due by October 10, 2008. From
these, the CCC Project Section Committee will select projects
in consideration with the Agency’s Clean and Clear
Strategic planning process. The CCC will then work with proponents
to develop either more detailed proposals or project work
plans for funding consideration.
