Vt. Resort Gets Green Award for Stream Cleanup

Posted: Updated:
BURLINGTON, Vt. -

 (AP) - Vermont's Sugarbush resort has won a Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence for its work to restore nearby waterways.

      Sugarbush hired an environmental consulting firm to develop a long-term water quality plan for the resort, and the results have been successful.

      Last year the state Agency of Natural Resources was able to remove nearby Rice Brook from the state's list of impaired waterways. Rice Brook is the third brook Sugarbush has restored to high-water quality conditions. Chase and Slide Brook were also restored to meet Vermont's water quality standards.

      Key to the cleanup efforts have been new storm water runoff controls installed at the resort.
