Lakeshore Restoration Permitting (Part 2): Post-Implementation

The Franklin County NRCD invites you to the workshop Lakeshore Restoration Permitting (Part Two): Post-Implementation, the second in a series of workshops on lakeshore restoration permitting. Located at a project site on Lake Carmi in Franklin, VT, this event will bring together staff from conservation districts and watershed organizations, as well as other clean water project implementers, to learn about lakeshore restoration projects and the permitting process.

We will be joined by VT DEC Lakes and Ponds staff to discuss the implementation process for projects that require Lake Encroachment Permits and/or Shoreland Protection Permits. Participants will have a chance to view the completed project to learn about encapsulated soil lifts and infiltration steps, and will be guided through the project’s implementation process and requirements for lakeshore permitting, both during and after project installation.

This is an outdoor event. Bring water, a hat, sunscreen, bug spray, and/or whatever else you need to be comfortable outdoors.
