Vermont high court rules no dam on Mad River
The Vermont Supreme Court affirmed the Water Resources Board in Hemco’s bid to dam the Mad River at Waitsfield, ruling the public waterway cannot be used for private purposes. Hemco sought a December 1969 permit for a private subdivision dam, opposed by Fish and Game, Mad River Valley Association, and conservationists. The decision comes as the court opens its October term with several major cases and a potential change in its ranks under consideration for a U.S. district court vacancy.
