State Fiscal Year 2025 Clean Water Budget
Public Comment Questionnaire
Thank you for participating in the Clean Water Board's public comment period on the proposed State Fiscal Year (SFY)
2025 Clean Water Budget. 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
