The City of Burlington is establishing a dedicated stormwater program in an effort to address the city's state and federal stormwater permit requirements. The City must meet specific compliance requirements that are not fully addressed presently. Fully addressing these requirements is key to improving the water quality of Lake Champlain and the Winooski River, as well as the streams that flow into them.
