For the benefit of current and future generations of Vermont's people and wildlife, the state has made a long-term commitment to the Clean Water Initiative to provide the mechanisms, staffing, and financing necessary so that our waterways achieve and maintain compliance with the Vermont Water Quality Standards.1 To this end, the Clean Water Board recommends the annual Clean Water Budget, which provides funding to help municipalities, farmers, and others implement projects that will restore, enhance, and protect Vermont's water quality, including addressing priority sources of nutrient and sediment pollution. Vermont's Clean Water Board invites the public to weigh in, annually, on how they would like to see clean water funding used to restore, enhance, and protect Vermont's water quality. The State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2025 Clean Water Budget timeline is summarized in the figure to the right.

State Fiscal Year 2025 begins July 1, 2024 and ends June 30, 2025. The public comment period is open October 20 through November 20, 2023. The Clean Water Board is asking the public to provide feedback, through this online questionnaire, on whether you believe funding levels are sufficient and whether you agree with the Board's proposed prioritization of funding across programs. The Clean Water Board will consider public input before making its final Clean Water Budget recommendation in December 2023. This online questionnaire has two sections: 1. The first section requests input on the allocation and prioritization of funds proposed in the State Fiscal Year 2025 Clean Water Budget. There are opportunities to provide additional comments below each question.** **This section will ask about how the money is allocated in tiers. The Clean Water Board separates funding programs into Tiers 1-3 and Other, where the highest priority programs are considered Tier 1 and the lowest priority programs are considered Tier 3. Statute determines for the Board which types of programs are first, second, and third priority under 10 V.S.A. § 1389 (e). "Other" refers to programs not listed in 10 V.S.A. § 1389 (e), however, the Other Priorities Tier line items are included in the budget to support other statutory priorities and/or to leverage federal funding. You can find out more about each tier and what funding programs fall under the tier in the State Fiscal Year 2025 Clean Water Budget Overview Document or the State Fiscal Year 2025 Clean Water Budget Story Map both available here: https://dec.vermont.gov/water- investment/cwi/board VERMONT#22Do you believe there is sufficient revenue in the Clean Water Fund for State Fiscal Year 2025 to support the Clean Water Budget priorities?
