Vermont Better
Backroads promotes the use of erosion control and maintenance
techniques that save money while protecting and enhancing
Vermont's lakes and streams. Begun in 1994, the program is a
collaborative effort of many organizations interested in town
financial health and clean water. One half of the funds available
to the Betterback Roads program is provided by the Vermont Agency
of Natural Resources via U.S. EPA Section 319 grants. The other
half is provided for in Vermont State budget through allocations
to the Vermont Local Roads Program. Program partners include the Vermont Local Roads Program, Northern
Vermont and George D. Aiken Resource Conservation and Development
Councils, Vermont Agency of Natural Resources - Water Quality
Division, Regional Planning Commissions, Vermont Association of
Conservation Districts, Vermont Agency of Transportation, Natural
Resource Conservation Service, Vermont Department of Public
Safety, US Environmental Protection Agency, Vermont Lake
Associations and the Association of Vermont Conservation
Commissions. Note:
BBR Grant funds go to the Town of Glover not to the Lake Parker
Association. |
