Rethink Runoff Campaign Launched
Nine Chittenden County municipalities and three
other entities are launching Rethink Runoff, a new multi-year public education
and participation campaign focused on reducing the impacts of stormwater
runoff. The campaign, with technical assistance from the CCRPC, is a combined
effort of Burlington, Colchester, Essex, Essex Junction, Milton, Shelburne,
South Burlington, Williston and Winooski, plus Burlington International
Airport, the University of Vermont and VTrans. RethinkRunoff.org, the campaign's website,
combines these efforts into a one-stop shop by providing data, educational
resources, tutorials and engagement opportunities that teach residents about
the effects of stormwater and the steps residents can take to help keep Lake
Champlain clean. For more information, please visit RethinkRunoff.org or contact Dan Albrecht,
CCRPC Senior Planner, at dalbrecht@ccrpcvt.org .
