The Lake Champlain Basin Program recently released a new report, “Identification of Critical Source Areas of Phosphorus Within the Vermont Sector of the Missisquoi Bay Basin,” prepared under contract for the LCBP by Stone Environmental, Inc. The International Joint Commission provided funding to the LCBP for the preparation of this report and related work.
The report is the culmination of a three-year effort by the LCBP and its partners, and it constitutes the core of the LCBP Final Report to the IJC for the Missisquoi Bay Critical Source Area Project.
The Missisquoi Bay Basin straddles the Vermont-Québec border, and is mostly composed of forests and agricultural lands. Public concern over water quality in Missisquoi Bay is high because of the effects of phosphorus on the region’s water.
