  • Chapter One Existing Airport Activity and Facility Inventory
    Burlington International Airport South Burlington, Vermont CHAPTER ONE EXISTING AIRPORT ACTIVITY AND FACILITY INVENTORY As of 2008, Burlington International Airport (BTV) is one of seventeen (17) public use airports in the State of Vermont and is located directly adjacent to Burlington in the City of South Burlington. BTV is the principal gateway to the State for air travelers and serves a vital function in promoting the city, region and state. 1.1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Vision 2030 Master Plan Update is to re-examine and update the 1990 Airport Master Plan and 2006 Airport Layout Plan (ALP). Specifically, this effort will result in updated forecasts of the aviation demand over the next twenty year planning period (until 2030). Major planning issues to be examined in the Master Plan Update include: • Activity Planning Forecasts: Forecasts of passenger enplanements, especially examining service area beyond the Canadian border; commercial operations; cargo tonnage; cargo operations; and, based business/general aviation aircraft and operations will be generated. These forecasts will take into account the most recent FAA Terminal Area Forecast prepared by the FAA and historical trends from data supplied by airport management. • Facility Requirements: The activity planning forecasts will generate specific facility requirements at the airport; however, additional non-demand driven facility requirements may also be required. Regardless of facility requirements identified through the study effort, the plan will provide the airport with flexibility to accommodate unforeseen facility requirements while minimizing disruption to airport operations. • Airport Access: Access to the airport will be studied as various independent local studies are underway to improve access to and around the airport.

  • Champlain Parkway Act
    STATE OF VERMONT SUPERIOR COURT ENVIRONMENTAL DIVISION Vermont Unit Docket No. 68 -5-12 Vtec Champlain Pkway A250 Permit DECISION ON THE MERITS The City of Burlington (the City) and the State of Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) (together, Applicants) seek an Act 250 permit for a project generally described as the completion and construction of the Champlain Parkway (the Parkway) in Burlington, Vermont. As proposed, the Parkway would connect Interstate 189 (I-189) to Burlington’s South End and City Center District along a new roadway extending to Lakeside Avenue. The Parkway would also require the reconstruction of Lakeside Avenue and resurfacing and other improvements to Pine Street between Lakeside Avenue and Main Street. On April 27, 2012, the District 4 Environmental Commission (the Commission) issued Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and an Order, which concluded that the project as proposed complies with all Act 250 criteria except Criteria 1(B) (wastewater) and 4 (erosion control). The Commission’s Conclusions of Law and Order directed the City and VTrans to submit an application addressing these last two criteria once the project receives relevant stormwater permits. Several parties appealed the Commission’s decision to this Court. During the pre-trial stages of this matter, Vermont Railway, Inc., Allan S. Hunt, and the Harlaine B. Miller Trust (formerly GP Burlington South, LLC) resolved their issues with the Parkway and withdrew their appeals. Fortieth Burlington, LLC (Fortieth) is the sole remaining appellant in this action. In this appeal, we do not review whether the Parkway should be built. Furthermore, as established by Fortieth’s appeal, our review is limited to Act 250 Criterion 5 (traffic), under which we do not have authority to deny a project.

  • Conserving the University of Vermont Natural Areas and Research Forests
    Conserving the University of Vermont Natural Areas and Research Forests By Rick Paradis, Director Emeritus University of Vermont Natural Areas System Carse Wetlands Natural Area. In 1974, The University of Vermont Board of Trustees established the University of Vermont Natural Areas System. By this action, the Board recognized UVM’s responsibility of leadership in the identification, protection, and management of important natural areas on its lands. The resolution passed by the Board establishing the Natural Areas System states “that these University-owned lands be preserved to the greatest extent possible in their natural condition, and be used for educational and scientific purposes insofar as such uses are compatible with the preservation of their natural character.” The Board also approved a series of regulations that govern the use and management of the natural areas. Over the years since this action by the Board, the Natural Areas System has emerged as the institution’s premier assemblage of field sites supporting and demonstrating excellence in research, education, and community service. With the addition of Carse Wetlands in 2014, there are now ten University of Vermont Natural Areas totaling over 2,400 acres of conserved land. Originally, at the time of the Board of Trustees action creating the system, there was an additional natural area. Four Brothers Islands, a cluster of small islands in Lake Champlain, were deeded to the New York Audubon Society as the islands are within the state of New York and UVM does not enjoy property tax exempt status there. Additional acreage has been added to several areas over the years.
