2008 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY To address existing water quality impairments, VHB Pioneer (VHBP) has prepared a Water Quality Remediation Plan (WQRP) for the Clay Brook and Rice Brook watersheds in Warren, Vermont. Both of these streams are listed by Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (VT DEC) on the 2006 Section 303(d) as not meeting Vermont Water Quality Standards (VWQS) due to aquatic life support, which has been documented through macroinvertebrate surveys in the subject streams conducted over many years. The designated cause of the impairment is principally stormwater runoff. This WQRP is structured to meet the required elements for Category 4(b) waters, as presented in the 2006 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) integrated listing guidance. The specific elements of this WQRP are: 1. Quantification of historic stormwater pollutant impacts to Clay Brook and Rice Brook 2. Identification and quantification of water quality improvements resulting from the measures implemented since 2003 pursuant to existing permits and authorizations 3. Determination of additional measures that may be warranted now and in the future, to assure attainment of VWQS in these watersheds. The analyses presented herein are based on sediment washoff loading, and utilize the concept of an attainment watershed as the basis for the determination that standards will be achieved. The loading analyses have demonstrated that overall watershed SUGARBUSH RESORT –WATER QUALITY REMEDIATION PLAN CLAY BROOK AND RICE BROOK WATERSHEDS ii sediment washoff loads have been reduced by four (4) percent in the Clay Brook watershed and 45 percent in the Rice Brook watershed, due to previously completed improvements, with as much as an 80 percent reduction on the subwatershed scale. Substantial reductions in both sediment washoff and peak runoff rates from existing developed areas on parcels

In this areaare the principal villages of Lincoln, Moretown, Irasvifle, Waitsfield, and Warren, as well as the lavish ski resorts of Sugarbush Valley. Pbysiographic and Geologic Setting The Lincoln Mountain quadrangle lies at the eastern edge of the Green Mountain physiographic province. In addition to the north-south oriented Green Mountain range proper, the quadrangle includes the Northfield Mountain ridge along the eastern edge, which is considered part of the Vermont Piedmont province. Peaks of the latter average between 2,400 and 3,000 feet while along the Green Mountains, the elevation reaches up to 14,013 feet above sea level at Lincoln Peak (fig. 2).
