Somerset campsite plans curbed by governor conditions
Gov Davis outlined strict terms for West Dover developer Thomas Meade's 700 site campsite on 287 acres near Somerset Reservoir. The plan would limit to 250 units, require a shared bridge cost, restrict to 180 days yearly, and force agreements with NE Power Co and Green Mtn Power Co. The state rejected several aspects including the landfill and vegetation removal, while pushing careful guidelines and potential redrafting of unorganized town laws. Meade touted utilities and preservation claims, but hearings resume January 27 with state agents presenting evidence of conditions.

Vermont governor differs with AG on pollution fee exemptions
Gov Deane Davis and Attorney General James Jeffords clash over exempting towns from planned fees under the 1970 Water Pollution Control Act. Davis calls the plan a modest change while Hansen argues it removes incentive to reduce pollution. The administration envisions a fee range of nine to eighty eight dollars with penalties for missed cleanup deadlines. Davis and conservation officials defend a workable, palatable law amid funding delays, while hearings are set for Jan 26 in Montpelier.
