Monitoring, Planning & Assessment
The District is one of many partners working in Franklin County, Missisquoi River Basin, Lamoille River Basin, and North Lake Direct Basin on water quality, natural resources planning, and assessment work.

Tile Drain Monitoring Program
In an effort to determine the nutrient load in water flowing through tile drains, the District partners with Vermont Agency of Natural Resources - Department of Environmental Conservation to collect and test water samples from several farm fields in Franklin County on a bi-weekly basis.
