Seven Days,
Does this mean the Agency of Agriculture's Nutrient Management Plans are flawed and the Secretary and their staff have been promoting the disposal of livestock waste without regard for water quality? We have been previously told by these agencies that the waste was "liquid gold" and critical for VT soils to remain healthy. Why not just stop the import of the pollutant instead of having taxpayers subsidize private commercial interests?
Looking forward to reporting on the Agency of Natural Resources disregard for the Act 64 mandate to update Anti-Degradation and reporting on the 2011 Statewide Bacteria TMDL. P is not the only private sector pollutant poisoning the commons.
With gratitude,

Has Spruce Mortgage been involved in any of these real estate transactions, Molly?
Our state needs the Vermont Educational Loan Repayment Program for healthcare professionals working in rural, underserved areas that was eliminated in the governors most recent budget.
A James Ehlers for Vermont-led people-centered economy will invest in healthcare for those most in need and higher education for all Vermonters. We can grow our workforce by investing in strong, healthy well-educated families in every part of our state. We should be empowering experts who support the Educational Loan Repayment Program, not silencing them.

Friends,
Five years to shut down an arsenic-contaminated water supply is effective oversight? Four months for notification of lead contamination? Guess it depends on if you and your children are unwittingly drinking it.
Here are the links to the reports ...

Re: “Contamination From Vermont National Guard Base Is Reaching the Winooski River”
Dear Seven Days:
You forgot to add the perspective of the advocates working on this issue and the Attorney General's Office, with which they met. Follow up, perhaps?
Thank you in advance.
With gratitude,
James Ehlers
