Effective July 1, 2014, the Vermont Legislature passed the Shoreland Protection Act (Chapter 49A of Title 10, §1441 et seq.), which regulates shoreland development within 250 feet of a lake’s mean water level for all lakes greater than 10 acres in size. The intent of the Act is to prevent degradation of water quality in lakes, preserve habitat and natural stability of shorelines, and maintain the economic benefits of lakes and their shorelands. The Act seeks to balance good shoreland management and shoreland development. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The GIS dataset displays a representative area covered by the Shoreland Protection Act. Lakes, over 10 acres, managed by our Lakes and Ponds Management and Protection Program through its Lake Inventory database are included. Buffered zones (Lakeside and Upland) were created from the National Hydrography Dataset when available. Buffered portions, away from the lake and intersected by the public highway, have been removed as they are exempted from permitting.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
