Hoff Convenes Vermont Water Pollution Talk in Montpelier
Gov. Philip H Hoff met privately with natural resource advocates in Montpelier to discuss water pollution issues. Attendees included the Water Resources Board the Natural Resources Council League of Women Voters and the Federated Sportsmen Club of Vermont. Key topics were the Connecticut River classification and the Barre granite pollution problem. About 52 percent of granite sheds indicated willingness to meet anti pollution standards though some hesitancy remains. Officials sought a clearer river classification amid New Hampshire and Massachusetts criticism of the proposed mix of water types. Attorney General James Oakes urged Hoff to issue a uniform statewide river classification after surveying agency opinions.
