www.watershedmanagement.vt.gov Page 2 of 13 Page 3 of 13 The 2020 List of Stressed Waters. These waters are assessed as stressed where stressors are present that prohibit the waters from attaining a higher water quality. Waterbody ID - The two digits following VT identifies the Major Vermont River Basin illustrated above and the two digits following - identifies the sub basin or mainstem within the major basin. Code - If the code contains an L the listing is a Lake within the sub basin and if the code is two digits the listing is a river reach within the sub basin or mainstem. Altered Use(s) - (ALS) Aquatic biota and wildlife that may utilize or are present in the waters; (AH) Aquatic habitat to support aquatic biota, wildlife, or plant life; (CR) The use of waters for swimming and other primary contact recreation; (CRF) The use of waters for fishing and related recreational uses; (CRB) The use of waters for boating and related recreational uses; (AES) The use of waters for the enjoyment of aesthetic conditions Waterbody ID Code Waterbody Name Stressed Use(s) Pollutant Problem Hoosic River, Entire 7 VT01-02 01 Mile Length in Vermont CR, CRF TOXICITY, METALS Industrial sources in Massachusetts & Vermont Paran Creek from Its Confluence with the Elevated temperatures caused by impoundments Walloomsac Upstream (Whites Mill, Polygraphic, Cushman, Stark Mill, VT01-03 04 to Lake Paran ALS TEMPERATURE Lake Paran) Bolles Brook, Acid deposition, low buffering capacity, episodic 05 Headwaters to Mouth ALS, CRF PH, LOW acidification Bickford Brook, Acid deposition, low buffering capacity, episodic 06 Headwaters to Mouth ALS, CRF PH, LOW acidification 07 Jewitt Brook ALS TEMPERATURE Fair biological data 2008 TEMPERATURE, HABITAT Loss of riparian vegetation, streambank erosion, VT01-04 02 Batten Kill AH, CRF ALTERATIONS, SEDIMENT runoff, lack of habitat features Tributaries Direct to Ny VT01-07 State AES, ALS, CR, CRF SEDIMENT, ALGAE Poultney River, Mouth Upstrm to Carvers Falls VT02-01 01 (10.4 Miles) ALS TOXICITY Repeated pesticide application Coggman Brook Mouth 03 Up to rm 2.9 ALS SEDIMENTATION/SILTATION Source undefined Castleton River, Below VT02-03 03 Old Fair Haven Landfill AES, CRB HABITAT ALTERATIONS, PH, HIGH Trash eroding into river Poultney River, from Buxton Hollow to D&H VT02-04 01 Rail Trail CR ESCHERICHIA COLI (E.
