Complete a Lake and Watershed Action Plan for Carry and Pelot’s Bay in accordance with the State’s Technical Guidance Document. Vermont Lake Watershed Action Plans (LWAP) are an assessment and planning tool that evaluates potential sources of sediments, phosphorus, and other undesirable inputs into waterways within a lake’s watershed and identifies potential projects that will remediate these sources. LWAP assessments include an evaluation of a lake’s current condition of shoreland, tributaries, wetlands, and hydrologically connected roads as well as an assessment of already existing monitoring data to identify the greatest threats to the lake ecosystem. The LWAP results in a list of projects that have been prioritized based on a set of criteria that includes phosphorus reduction, cost efficiency, feasibility, landowner buy in and others. 5-10 projects will be selected from this prioritized list to receive 30% designs. The LWAP is an individual planning guide for the watershed that identifies key projects for implementation and that prioritizes restorative and protective actions within the watershed.
