Landgrove engineer tests evaporative septic method
Landgrove engineer LaPrade ran four inch piping from a septic tank to a distribution box and toward two spruce trees. One tree grew with a polyethylene membrane around its roots to trap secondary effluent while the other tree remained unexposed. Both trees remained similarly tall and wide, suggesting evaporation systems may not benefit Vermont rainfall patterns.

Vermont archaeologist challenges belief of permanent prehistoric Indians in state
State archaeologist Giovanna Neudorfer and her team, funded by the 1975 Vermont Historic Preservation Act, report evidence of permanent prehistoric Indian settlements along the Winooski River near Burlington. They find camp, fishing, and hunting sites dating 1,000 to 4,000 years old and plan maps of archaeological sensitivity. Neudorfer also investigates stone chamber sites linked to controversial theories of ancient European and North African settlement, urging thorough research and public transparency. The Shaftsbury Town Clerk’s office will be closed Wednesday and Thursday.

Vermont Aims to Expand Occupational Health Chief Role
Gov Richard Snelling administration proposes broadening the state director of occupational health duties to include environmental health. The plan would eliminate the existing post held by John Fraines and place a new environmental health directorship under Marshall McBean’s health department oversight. The expanded role would regulate lodging food and water and serve as liaison to local health officials while radiological matters at Vermont Yankee remain under separate regulation by the labor department.
