Board takes no action on cut in pollution fees
The Vermont Water Resources Board heard an administration plan to cut charges under the 1970 Innovative Water Pollution Control Act but made no move to approve the proposal. Environmental Secretary Robert Williams outlined a 1 percent fee for temporary pollution permits as officials debated municipal concerns over a proposed 5 percent fee. A public hearing on the fee plan will be held next week as the act regulates pollution of state waters.
