Plate II I Page 1 - _____ The work of this Project was greatly implemented by the cooperation and assistance of many groups and individuals. The following were partic- ularly helpful in carrying out the Project's objectives. 1. Various departments and individuals of the Vermont State Department of Highways, notably the Planning and Mapping Division and the Highway Testing Labo- ratory. 2. Professor D. P. Stewart of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. 3. Professor C. C. Doll, Vermont State Geologist, University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont. 4. United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of Public Roads. The Materials Survey Project was formed in 1957 by the Vermont State a Department of Highways with the assistance of the United States Bureau of Public Roads. Its prime objective was to compile an inventory of highway - construction materials in the State of Vermont. prior to the efforts of the personnel of the Survey as described in this and other reports, searches for highway construction materials were conducted only as the immediate situation required. Thus only limited areas are surveyed, and no over- all picture of material resources was available. Highway contractors or resident engineers are usually required to locate the materials for their respective projects and have samples tested by the Highway Testing Labo- ratory. The additional cost of exploration for construction materials is passed onto the State in the form of higher construction costs, The Ma- terials Survey Project was established to minimize or elimate this fac-. cor by enabling the State and its contractors to proceed with information Page 2 on materials sources available beforehand. Prior knowledge of locations of suitable material is an important factor in planning future highways. The sources of construction materials are located by this Project through ground reconnaissance study of maps and aerial photographs, and geological and physiographic interpretation. ilaps, data sheets, and work sheets for reporting the findings of the Project were designed with their intended use in mind. These maps and data sheets were devised to furnish information of particular use to the contractor or construction man. For maximum benefit, the maps, data sheets, and this report should be studied simultaneously. Inc losures Included in this folder are two surface-geology maps, one defining the location of tests conducted on bedrock sources, the other defining the loca- I tion of tests conducted on granular materials. These maps are derived from 15-minute or 7½-minute quadrangles of the United States Geological Survey enlarged or reduced to 1:31250 or 1 11 = 2604 1 . Delineated on the Bedrock Lap are the various rock types of the area. This information was obtained from numerous sources: Vermont Geological Survey Bulletins, Vermont State Geologist Reports, United States Geological Survey Bedrock Uaps, and the Centennial Geological hap of Vermont, as well as other references. The granular materials map depicts areas covered by various types of glacial deposits (outwash, moraines, kames, kame terraces, eskers, etc.) by which potential sources of gravel and sand may be recognized. This infor- mation was obtained primarily from a survey conducted by Professor D. P. Stewart of lxliaxni University, Oxford, Ohio, who had been mapping the glacial features of Vermont during the summer months since 1956. Further Page 3 infoation was obtained from the Soil Survey (Peconnaissarcc) of Vermont conducted by the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils of the United StatasDepartment of Agricultrue, and from Vermont Geological Survey Bul- letiris, United States Geological Survey Quadrangles, aerial photograph5, the Surficjal Geologic 1,ap of Vermont, and other sources. On both reaps the areas tested are represented by identification Numbers. Several tests are usually conducted in each area represented by an Identification Number, the number of such tcts being more or less arbitrarily determined either by the character of the material or by the topography. Also included in this folder are data sheets for both the Bedrock and Granular Uaterials Survey, which contain detailed information for each test conducted by the Project as well as information obtained from other sources, - and including an active card file compiled by the Highway Testing Laboratory. The latter information was gathered over a period of years by many persons and consequently lacks the organized approach and detail required for effec- tive use. The information on the cards varied widely in completeness. Trans- far of information from the cards to the data sheets was made without elab- oration or verification. Jhen possible, the locations of the deposits listed in the card files have also been plotted on the maps; however, some cards in the file were not used because the information on the location of the deposit was incomplete or unidentifiable. Caution should be exercised wherever this information appears incomplete. This Project does not assume responsibility for the information taken from the card files. t!ork sheets contain more detailed information on each test and a de- tailed sketch of each identification Number Area. The work sheets and laboratory reports are on 'file in the office headquarters of this Project. Page 4 The town of Weston is located in the southeast corner of Windsor County in the southern part of the state. It is bounded on the north by the town of Mount Holiy, on the northeast by Ludlow, on the east by Andover, on the south by Londonderry, on the southwest by Landgrove and Peru, and on the west by the town of Mount Tabor. (See County and Town Outline Nap of Vermont on the following page.) Weston lies entirely within the Green Mountain physiographic region, and its rugged topography is characterized by steep terrain. Elevations range from 2,804 feet at the summit of Peabody Hill, to less than 1,160 feet at the London- derry town line where the West River crosses it on the way to Brattleboro and the Connecticut River. Principal drainage is eastward, via Greendale Brook, Jenny Coolidge Brook and several unnamed streams, into the south-flowing West River. Subsidiary drainage west of Peabody 11111 and Molt Mountain is westward via Utley Brook, I a tributary of the West Branch of the West River.

  • State of Vermont Environmental Board 10 V.S.A
    STATE OF VERMONT ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD 10 V.S.A. CHAPTER 151 n RE: George Tardy FINDINGS OF FACT AND Box 80B CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Moretown, Vermont 05660 10 V.S.A., Chapter 151 (Act 250) This is an appeal of Land Use Permit #5WO534 issued by I the District #5 Environmental Commission on September 9, 1979 for the construction and operation of a 13 site tent and travel trailer park on a 5+ acre tract of land off Vermont Route 100 I, in the Town of Waitsfield, Vermont. Appeals were filed with the Environmental Board on October 5, 1979 by the Town of Waitsfield and the Waitsfield Planning Commission, and on October 9, 1979 by the Vermont Agency of Environmental Con- servation. A pre-hearing conference on these appeals was held on October 15, 1979. The Board heard testimony and oral argu- ment on the matter on October 23, 1979, January 22, 1980, and I February 19, 1980. I These findings and conclusions are based upon the docu- ments submitted by the parties, and the testimony and evidence submitted at the hearings on this matter. The Board did not accept the appellants' suggestion to schedule an official site visit as part of these proceedings. However, a majority of the individual members of the Board are familiar with this site and the surrounding area and the Board therefore takes judicial notice of the character of the site and area, includ- ing views from Route 100. These appeals brought the following criteria of Act 250, i 10 V.S.A. 6086(a) into consideration: Criterion 5 (regarding traffic congestion and safety): Criterion 8 (regarding the scenic or natural beauty of the area and aesthetics); and Criterion 10 (regarding conformance with the duly adopted local ’ plan).

    Documentation for: VT 100 ACCESS MANAGEMENT PLAN Waterbury, Stowe, and Morristown, VT Prepared for: Lamoille County Planning Commission; and Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission 30 November 2004 Final Report MEMORANDUM To: David Pelletier, Lamoille County Planning Commission Steve Gladczuk, Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission From: Joseph Segale, P.E. Subject: VT 100 Access Management Plan Date: 30 November 2004 Resource Systems Group, in partnership with Burnt Rock Associates in Community Planning, is pleased to present the attached final report for the VT 100 Access Management Plan. The study area extends along VT 100 from US 2 in Waterbury, through Stowe, to VT 15 in Morristown. The attached plan: Evaluates existing land use and transportation system issues and includes sketch plans to address existing access management deficiencies; Estimates build-out and twenty-year development scenarios for parcels adjacent to VT 100 and identifies land use, traffic, and access management issues for the year 2025; Develops and analyzes highway system alternatives and makes recommendations to address 2025 issues; and Recommends administrative tools to help implement effective access management techniques through municipal land use plans and regulations, and coordination between the three towns and the Vermont Agency of Transportation. This plan updates the work completed in the 1993 VT Route 100 Corridor Study, which identified access management and land use planning as two areas that should be investigated further to help preserve mobility along VT 100 without additional travel lanes. The recommendations can be used by the LCPC, CVRPC, and VTrans as they work together to identify and implement different transportation projects along VT 100.
